Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Disc Review

By brenden ⋅ December 5, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

This is probably my favourite new title of the year. Yes, I’m a nerd. But while my Trek-loving tendencies may be to blame in part for my enthusiasm, this new film is so all-around entertaining that everyone I know who had a chance to see it enjoyed J.J. Abrams’ re-imagining of Star Trek immensely. I just watched the new Blu-ray edition of it and to be honest, I can’t wait to watch it again! …Continued…

[VIDEO] Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Preview - Deleted Scene: Diora Baird as Orion Slave Girl

I’m sorry to disappoint you, skin fans. But this is the infamous Diora Baird (The Wedding Crashers, Young People Fucking) cut scene from the upcoming Star Trek Blu-ray disc. One line of dialogue. No boobs. I mean, the scene is actually pretty funny, when taken in context of the film. But I think when it was announced that she would be playing a green-skinned Orion Slave Girl in the film, a lot of you had been getting your hopes up for something more along the lines of Ms. Baird’s previous clothing-optional celluloid appearances. Sadly, this was not to be. But hey, that’s what sequels are for right? …Continued…

[VIDEO] Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Preview - Deleted Scene: Nero vs. Klingons

I won’t watch this scene. Not yet. I’m waiting for the Star Trek Blu-ray to show up, so I can bury myself in it for two full weeks. I want my experience to be fresh. That being said, I’m so tempted to check out this deleted scene of Romulan ship Captain, Nero being interrogated by the Klingons! This Star Trek Blu-ray is going to be sooooo good! I apologize in advance if my review of the disc is biased in any way. It simply can’t be helped… …Continued…

Ooooo. Wasn’t expecting this today. As far as news goes, this isn’t amongst the most hard-hitting or terribly exciting variety. But for crazed Star Trek fans (like me!) this is must-read news. Or must-SEE news, in this case. …Continued..

Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Deleted Scenes Described in Detail

By brenden ⋅ July 1, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Harry Barber over at TNMC got his hands on a version of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek script. From the description he gives, it doesn’t sound like the shooting script (there’s a major difference involving the death of the villain’s henchman that would have required a solid round of rewrites) but it does give us a look at what some of the deleted scenes on the Blu-ray will reveal.

I’ll run them down, one by one but you’ve got to head on over to TNMC.org and check out the rest of Harry’s article. There’s some fantastic stuff there, if you’re a Star Trek fan. What you’re about to read below is just the tip of the iceberg! …Continued…
