Star Trek: The Original Series & Animated Series (1966 – 1969 & 1973 – 1974)
With all the hype surrounding the new Star Trek movie when it was scheduled for Christmas 2008 way back in 2007, I set myself a target to watch every bit of Star Trek history ever created and see what the phenomenon was all about. Continue reading

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
I won’t dwell too much on the hype that surrounded this release, becuase we all know about the computer that got stolen with ‘vital’ plot information on it, court cases and ultimate secrecy that ended up becoming one of Hollywoods worse kept secrets ever. It was obvious that this film was going to be about aliens, yes, you heard correctly. An Indiana Jones film about aliens. Continue reading
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

Indiana Jones is trying to negotiate the trading of an artefact from Chinese gangsters. Things go horribly wrong, Jones and Willie end up scrambling amongst chaos to find a crystal and a life saving antidote that will cure Indy from a deadly poison fed to him by the Chinese gangsters during the negotiations.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Raiders kicks off with probably one of the most memorable scenes of all of the films put together, Indy a jungle with Alfred “Doc Ock” Molina searching for a golden statue. When they find it, we see the classic Harrison Ford victorious grin, until he realises he’s just set off a trap and now he needs to run! Continue reading
