Harry potter review

I just got back from a 12:15 screening of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and have posted a movie review over at Movie-Source.com. This is what I get for waiting until 6:00pm the night of to buy a ticket for Harry Potter - not only do I have to stay up even later in the night, but I'm not even the first of the regular movie-going public to see the movie (of course, all the other time zones saw it before me). I know I should have mugged those two little kids when their parents went off to the bathroom..

Man, I am going to be tired on Wednesday. This isn't my day job people - I have a long day ahead of me, and probably will get in at 8am... okay, maybe 8:30 given my lack of sleep. I'm a man who needs his sleep, and I am not going to be a happy camper in a few hours.

Anyway, so I watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix...

Leonard Nimoy as Spock in new Star Trek movie? Really?

Well, even though the new Star Trek movie from director J.J. Abrams is a prequel and will not star William Shatner, the ex-Captain Kirk has confirmed that Leonard Nimoy is going to play Spock.

Personally, I highly doubt this is real, but worth noting anyway. I really doubt that they would make a prequel that stars one of the original cast members, and it is unlikely that Nimoy would actually take the role. Then again, money is money, and this new Star Trek movie perhaps has more buzz floating around it then most (thanks mainly to J.J. Abrams, who seems to be at the center of all kinds of buzz these days - see Cloverfield), and what better way to resurrect a struggling series than to get one of the most popular cast members back on?

Still, if Nimoy, now really quite old, ends up in the new Star Trek movie, I will be mightily surprised.
