Star Trek, the 2009 reboot directed by J.J. Abrams, is among the best Star Trek movies in the franchise’s cinematic history. For a few years there, the future for the franchise looked bleak. Following the box office and critical failure of Star Trek: Nemesis, a planned fifth Next Generation movie installment was scratched. Ratings plummeted quickly for Star Trek: Enterprise and the eighteen year franchise run on TV came to an end in 2005. Cut…

Star Trek: First Contact remains the best of the four Star Trek films starring The Next Generation cast just over 25 years later. I have to be honest here: I grew up a Star Wars fan and didn’t really watch any Star Trek series while growing up. My dad did but it just wasn’t my thing. My first experience with anything Star Trek was seeing the reboot in June 2009. Following that, it wasn’t until…

In addition to the conversation with showrunner/director Ira Steven Behr and actress Nana Visitor, there will be a taped roundtable following the film. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine would run for…

For The Love of Spock honors the life of Leonard Nimoy in a very well-made documentary. Last year, I had the opportunity to talk to Adam Nimoy about the Kickstarter project for a documentary that he was working on. Over a year later and three months later, I just had the opportunity to view For the Love of Spock and it was just absolutely brilliant. The work that Adam put into this film shows how…
"For The Love of Spock: A Son’s Tribute to Leonard Nimoy" Thanks for joining Solzy at the Movies today. How are things treating you this morning? Adam Nimoy: I am just becoming functional this morning, Danielle. How are you? I’m doing great.
