Star Trek Into Darkness Prop Collectibles On The Way

QMXring1

I am a sucker for collectibles, especially Star Trek collectibles.  I probably have more Star Trek swag than anything else in my collection.  I remember blowing entire paychecks back in the 90s when QVC had their Star Trek collectibles show on Saturdays.  I picked up some pretty amazing stuff in those days to add to [...]

  This review comes a little late because I wasn’t able to see the movie until today.  I was there bright and early, popcorn and large drink at the ready.  Before I go any further I have to tell you that I am a life long Trek fan and a purest when it comes to [...]

TNBSG01CovRoss

  “Some believe there may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive…” I was excited to see that Dynamite was bringing back the original Battlestar Galactica universe.  As cheesy and silly as the original series was, it was after all a groundbreaking series in many areas, mainly special effects.  With kids [...]

  If you’ve followed Word of the Nerd for very long you’ve probably picked up that I am a huge fan of DC’s line of animated films.  Although I have been critical of some, as a whole the entire line of films have set a standard in comic book adaptations that is hard to surpass.  It [...]

Star-Trek-Into-Darkness-Armed-Spock

  Last week, it was Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) under John Harrison’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) microscope.  Today, Yahoo! Movies releases another promo for the upcoming Star Trek Into Darkness, this time featuring Spock (Zachary Quinto).  Benedict Cumberbatch’s ominous voice lends a great deal of credit that this new Trek villain may be the most forbidding to date.  Yes [...]

got_logo

It was a LONG wait, but season 3 of Game of Thrones is finally underway.  This season is starting with a bang and not the whimper season 2 started with last year.  I know we’re only one episode in, but it seems that more has happened already in one episode than what happened in half [...]

Reviewer’s Word – G.I. Joe Retaliation

G.I. Joe Retaliation

  When I first heard that Jon M. Chu would be directing the sequel to G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra, I was less than optimistic as to its possible success.  Then I heard that Bruce Willis would also have a role in the movie and I got even more disheartened.  I mean I like [...]
