Review: Star Trek Into Darkness
Let’s cut to the chase. Unlike the misfired Star Trek (2009), Star Trek Into Darkness (STID) is an extremely good Trek film. While not perfect, STID gives us a well-paced and action-filled 132 minutes with all the characters we know and love (Captain James T. Kirk, the Vulcan first officer Spock, the cantankerous doctor McCoy, and the rest of the crew), along with moments film-goers are hoping to see…and more than a few they won’t see coming.
Return Of The Star Wars Film Crew: Star Wars VII To Go Back To U.K.
When I think of Star Wars, I think of fabulous space mystics with swords that go “whoosh.” And when I think of Star Wars locations, I think Tunisia, Death Valley, and Elstree Studios, one of several studios in Elstree and Borehamwood, England. So does Kathleen Kennedy, George Lucas’ heir to the Lucasfilm throne. Kennedy and company have announced they’ll be returning to the studio where most of Lucasfilm’s movies were shot.
Paramount Explains Why ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Will Be Released Early

What’s Terribly, Horribly Wrong With EA’s Upcoming Sequel To ‘Star Wars: Gungan Frontier’
According to Fusible, Lucasfilm registered multiple domain names on the same day that EA’s exclusive deal to produce Star Wars videogames was announced, leading many of us to believe these domain names are future game titles...which gives us time to craft the perfect excuse for why we’ll be out of the office for each launch day. But EA will need time too, to resolve a very real problem that one upcoming game will have.
Neil Gaiman Promises Dangerous New Cybermen In Upcoming ‘Doctor Who’ Episode
Neil Gaiman, the author of the famed Sandman comic book, as well as such novels as Coraline, American Gods, and many, many others, became a writer of Doctor Who last year, with the episode “The Doctor’s Wife.” His second time around the TARDIS, the fabulously titled “Nightmare in Silver,” will be airing this Saturday on BBC/BBC America. In a conference call, Gaiman spoke about his love for the long-running British show…and how he put his own particular twist on the Doctor’s old enemy, the Cybermen.
Yet More Proof That Violent Videogames Don’t Cause Aggression
Ask anyone who’s ever played Grand Theft Auto IV and not killed a pimp in real life: We say videogames don’t lead to violent behavior. But many studies, written by people who have more degrees than me, suggest they do. Ph.D candidate Paul Adachi, who co-authored an upcoming paper in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence, “Demolishing the Competition: The Longitudinal Link Between Competitive Video Games, Competitive Gambling, and Aggression,” offers more proof that aggressive behavior doesn’t stem from videogames: It stems from competition.
