The Changeling is a strange episode. On the one hand, it anticipates what many years later would be the plot of the first film in the Star Trek saga, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), directed by Robert Wise. On the other hand, it recycles a couple of ideas already used in the first season: … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E03, The Changeling
Who Mourns for Adonais? is, in my opinion, a big misstep in this second season which just started. After a brilliant start with Amok Time, this second episode merely reused old ideas even though the premise could have led to an interesting story. That’s a pity, and below I will try to explain the reasons … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E02, Who Mourns for Adonais?
I know that I wrote that I consider Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) to be John Carpenter’s debut film. But how could I not review his true first feature, that is the precious Dark Star directed in 1974 when he was still a film school student? I had to do it, and here I am doing … More Dark Star: Movie Review
John Carpenter was awarded with the Carrosse d’Or at the 2019 edition of the Cannes Film Festival. In the masterclass that accompanied the ceremony, and in order to continue to make himself adored by everyone in Hollywood, he defined himself as the anti-Spielberg. I’m sure he did it so to be sure to continue not to … More The Thing: Movie Review
I know, I’m repeating myself (see the review of Balance of terror), but I must reinforce the concept here: the first season of the original series of Star Trek series is so full of ideas! Virtually every episode explores a new theme, opens a new avenue for new adventures… and with this episode, number nineteen, here … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E19, Tomorrow Is Yesterday
I believe that a director must be a genius to come up with a great film based simply on a series of illustrated cards for children made in the Sixties. And since I consider Mars attacks! a great movie, I’m sure you have it clear that for me Tim Burton is a genius. Of course … More Mars Attacks!: Movie Review
A Quiet Place is a relatively low budget film (20 million dollars) which came out in 2018. Directed by John Krasinski, it starred Emily Blunt as the protagonist together with Krasinski himself, who’s also her husband in real life. I’m probably the last person on Earth who saw this movie, as it was a worldwide … More A Quiet Place: Movie Review
I’ll tell you right away: I really enjoyed Miri, the eighth episode of the first season of TOS. It has glimpses of The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price (released in 1964, two years before Star Trek began), of George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (that would be released two years after Miri came … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E08, Miri (English)
Season 5, the season of maturity. By now, The Next Generation has nothing more to “prove” to the world. It stands on its own and with the continuous upward trend of seasons 1 through 4 it is already a remarkable achievement. Season 5 is the first truly post-Roddenberry season and the season during which the … More ST:TNG in 2018 : Season 5 (Part 1)
