Things are looking good...

Although I've tried my best to ween myself from the impeccable gorgeousness/hotness/gorgeousity (whatever you want to call his appeal mrgreen)... it feels like 28 year-old actor Chris Pine just keeps sucking me back in... (it's gotta be the eyes cool)...

Anyhow, the latest Star Trek iteration (or better put J.J. Abrams re-imagination) of the Star Trek franchise is set for wide release just less than a month from now... As you might imagine the worldwide marketing campaign is also starting to get into the swing of things with premiers being hosted in pretty much all four corners of the globe, magazine spreads galore, and lots and lots of interviews...

So what's the verdict thus far for those who've had the pleasure of getting a screening of the movie? Well let's see... a five minute standing ovation at the Sydney opera house, an 'Out of this World' headline from the Dailymail... oh and a 100% rating from Rottentomates (at least for the time being).... All in all it looks like we might have more than just your 'average' summer blockbuster on our hands mrgreen...

I probably would've seen it anyway even with less than stellar reviews, but I think the early praise makes it all the more worthwhile. You can check out more on the early Star Trek screening reaction here. Also if you've had a chance to check out the magazine section at your local supermarket, you might've noticed a certain leading hottie on the May issue of Men's Health. You can read up on the article here.

To boldly go where no man has gone before is to manage to breathe life into a franchise four decades old and actually succeed in bringing it into the 21st century. I can't wait to see this one...
