Why 'Star Trek' was Da Bomb:

• Great effects


• Cool characters


• Non-Stop action


• The 2hours plus went by at warp speed


• Brilliant touch to re-write history and keep Star Trek alive for future generations


• No Ferengi


• A complete lack of the garbage that hurt the Star Trek TV spinoffs (like the Ferengi)

What I'd like to see next:

• Klingons of course


• More Romulans naturally


• and more of Lt. Uhara

Leaf's owners rated the worst in the NHL

Anyone as shocked as I am?

And I quote: "How can the $1.75 billion owners of the most valuable franchise in hockey continue to so mismanage one of the NHL's most storied teams? The Leafs still haven't won a Stanley Cup in 42 years, and the deep pockets of its parent organization have done little to reverse that trend. But it's not some fat-cat collective running the team from its penthouse suite -- since 1994, MLSE's primary investor has been the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Unfortunately, the dysfunctional relationship between the two principals -- Richard Peddie and Larry Tannenbaum -- continues to trickle down to the on-ice product, as MLSE is too busy running too many sports properties and breaking ground on too many real estate projects to pay enough attention to the Leafs".

I'm embarrassed and I'm not even a hockey guy.

Movie Review: X-Men Orgins- Wolverine

The long awaited Woverine pre-quel finally hit theatres. Here is my bullet-point review:

Why didn't the Director take more time to delve into the family dynamic? Someone uttering "my son" with bone claws in his gut doesn't exactly explain a lot of things.

• Loved the show of 'brotherhood', fighting side by side, war after war. Always have each other's back. But did they have to say "back to back' all the time? After all these years you'd think they'd know it?


• Where was Wolverine's berserker rage? He was too calm and collected most of the time.


• Somehow I thought that bonding an indestructible metal to your bones would have been alot more painful. He seemed to handle it ok. Did anyone believe for a second he'd actually die? C'mon man. You have to better than that dude.


• Cool claws. (ooooo shiny)


• Liev Schreiber was very convincing as Sabretooth. This guy needs his own movie.


• Ryan Reynolds was absolutely superb as Wade Wilson. As I knew he would be.


• The Director screwed up the Deadpool character though. He was not a genepool of stolen mutant abilities. He was an assassin of the highest order coupled with a healing factor and 'deadpan' humour. He earned his name by surviving a prison stay where the inmates ran a deadpool on who would be the next to die.


• The Professor X appearance was weak. Not even a hint of suspense. Corny if you ask me.
• Very forgetable. Fit for TMN. Not the big screen
