Why "Star Trek" Is Suddenly Cool Again
IMHO, STAR WARS has always been way cooler than STAR TREK. However, following the phenomenal success of J.J. Abrams' new STAR TREK movie (now the top-grossing film of 2009), things have now changed. Here's a chart explaining why the STAR TREK franchise is suddenly so hip right now.

The first trailer for Ruben Fleischer's zombie comedy "Zombieland" has invaded the web. The film stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin.
The film focuses on two men who have found a way to survive a world overrun by zombies. Columbus (Eisenberg) is a big wuss -- but when you're afraid of being eaten by zombies, fear can keep you alive. Tallahassee (Harrelson) is an AK-toting, zombie-slaying' bad ass whose single determination is to get the last Twinkie on earth. As they join forces, they will have to determine which is worse: relying on each other or succumbing to the zombies.

"Terminator Salvation" Movie Review
Director: McG
Cast: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard
IMHO, the Terminator story arc ended upon the conclusion of "Terminator 2", but they just had to milk the cow dry. As much as I am impressed with the production designs and awesome action scenes, "Terminator Salvation" is just not as good as the first two installments. However, it is slightly better than "Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines", but that's not saying much.
Score: 6.5/10
