From the diaries by Erick.

For those of you who have watched the various television and movie versions of Star Trek, and have been wondering when are we going to see a real Star Trek Captain, finally we have one.

James Tiberius Kirk is back.

For those who like to give the middle finger to the world of the politically correct, buy two tickets, and settle in for a great show.

Parents who want to teach their children examples of leadership and courage — and sacrifice, take the whole family.

James Tiberius Kirk has always been a leadership role model, a character of great courage and vision and purpose.

I suppose if I was the ruler of the free world, I’d want it too. I mean, if I controlled all I survey, if the nation bowed before me, if the illiterati gave an obedient chuckle at my every quip, yet paused thoughtfully at my pretensions at seriousness, if the world placed me on my rightful pedestal, I’d imagine that the producers of the hottest new movie premiering this month would be similarly overawed that I’d like to see their little film.

These filmmakers are smart folks, after all I would know.

You guys wanted to know.

It was awesome.

Even if you aren’t in to Star Trek, it was very well done. If you like action movies, you’ll probably like Star Trek. Lots of fighting, explosions. good humor, and great special effects.

I recommend it. It was good fun.

And the new trailer for Transformers looks outstanding.
