In celebration of James Bond’s 50th anniversary, MGM and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment unveiled at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show BOND 50, a collectible box-set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-ray Disc for the first time in one complete offering. The longest running film franchise of all time, the Bond 50 collection marks the debut of nine James Bond films previously unavailable in high definition Blu-ray. The collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace and more than 130 hours of bonus features including some new and exclusive content.
The box is very cool and sleek showcasing all six iconic James Bond actors, a very solid collection. Fans of Bond will be pretty busy this year as Skyfall, the newest entry into the franchise, will be released this fall. Fans can pre-order the set now with participating online retailers – the trailer is below:
If Bond wasn’t enough, we have a pretty interesting look at a Blu-ray release for Star Trek: TNG. The Gene Roddenberry series will be getting a Blu-ray debut later this year celebrating its 25th anniversary, all 178 episodes will be released. In the meantime there is a three-episode special called, Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Next Level.
It will include the feature-length version of the pilot, as well as the season three episode “Sins of the Father” and the season five episode “The Inner Light.” The Next Level will hit shelves on January 31, 2012. Watch the video below to compare the old and new look after hi-def re-mastering.

The Boardwalk Empire season finale is this coming Sunday, here is the “To the Lost” promo, and it’s excellent. It’s been a very compelling season; a slow boil much like the first season with payoffs here and there. I’d like to think the season finale will be a stunner, you with me? Watch the promo:

J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek sequel will be released May 17, 2013 in 3D, a first for the franchise. That’s pretty much the story; it was really just an excuse to make the above picture. We don’t know if there will be Klingons or Tribbles, but J.J. does like to please fans of old – so expect something nostalgic to the trek universe. [THR] And for the number geeks out there, the first film made $386 million worldwide.

Star Trek is a tricky subject to discuss. If you don’t believe me, grab a few geeky friends and have a round table discussion about the TV series’ and films, especially the latest feature film that seemed to birth a whole new fan base while trying to bring back the original fans. There will be yelling.
My father would make us watch Star Trek TNG saying it would make us smarter, I still say Simpsons repeats do just as well in that category. As much as I enjoy certain elements of the Star Trek universe I can’t say I understand the Trekkie nation fully. After watching the 1997 documentary Trekkies, I was even more disillusioned. That film seemed to take the piss out of fans more than side with them. So brings us to this, a trailer for Trek Nation.
The trailer itself is somber and pretty dramatic, so it will be interesting to see how it plays out as a feature. Directed by Scott Colthorp and led by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s son, Rod Roddenberry, it looks quite fascinating. The film does not yet have a release date and is still looking for distribution, but it does have an official site and the following trailer. (more…)

According to ComingSoon, Paramount has announced a June 29th, 2012 release date for Star Trek 2. That is a long time away if you ask me, these young kids who worked on the first one will have to be replaced by the likes of Miley Cyrus or Bow Wow if they want to bring in the same kind of audience they did the first time around. I guess it’s a good thing that J.J. Abrams doesn’t want to rush it; we all know what happens then.
There are no plot details as of yet, so forum trolls…let’s get ready to rumble!!!

The Hollywood Reporter had a chance to ask Quentin Tarantino about his favorite films of 2009, and the filmmaker responded with eight movies, yes sir – eight. He just had to be different!
Raise your hand if you have a masturbation mirror.
1. Star Trek
2. Drag Me To Hell
3. Funny People
4. Up in the Air
5. Chocolate
6. Observe and Report
7. Precious
8. An Education
Tarantino admitted that he has yet to Avatar, The Lovely Bones or Invictus, and that he needs to revisit films like Bright Star and District 9, so they might have the power to make the list. I like him, but he’s an easy target. I need to bring him down to my level of greatness. NOTE: CoF’s annual “Movies you should have seen in (insert year)” is coming soon. Three of his eight made the list. Dammit.
