Who am I to argue with the great Adm. William Adama.

The Fifth Element
This is a movie that is visually stunning, thought provoking and a little weird. It’s a sci fi movie with a significant French influence. I have to be in a certain mood to see it though. The movie has a prophetic look at 3-D printing on a biological level.
Oh yeah, Gary Oldman is in this flick too.

Independence Day (ID4) It’s time for that classic movie that shows today’s films how to save the world from aliens while obliterating The White House the right way. This film is a family classic that we watch each July 4th.
Star Trek: Into Darkness – A Really Great Ride
StandardWell my friends, JJ Abrams does it again. I thought Star Trek: Into Darkness was a thrill ride that had a lot of nods to The Wrath of Khan, but with his normal twist on the original. The whole crew was back and brought some great performances. Action, sadness, madness and love drove this second movie in the reboot. Friends. Benedict Cumberbatch was an awesome villain. Kirk and Spock’s relationship grew in this movie and there was a great message of courage and self sacrifice that everyone could grow from. I am glad we finally got to see the movie, Now we will have to see what’s next. Mr. Abrams has cemented himself as the new king of science fiction. He has another big movie coming up in a year or so.
