I've Boldy Gone...where many have gone before me...

WHAT A MOVIE!!! I was a little late getting to the theatre to see Star Trek...like a week late...but I finally made it...and was it ever worth the wait! It was AMAZING. With the previews of G.I.Joe, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and Terminator: Salvation playing before the film last night...I was already amped up for a great movie.

First off, I should say I am by no means a "Trekkie"...I didn't see the original movies more than once, and I only saw the odd episode of the original series and a dozen or so of Star Trek: The Next Generation...so needless to say I wasn't dressed up like Spock to see this one. That being said...I loved this film. It was the first movie in a long time that made me want to raise my fist and cheer at times throughout, and leave me with the immediate feeling of wanting more as the final credits rolled. J.J. Abrams did a masterful job re-introducing the beloved characters, without re-creating them. If you loved the original cast and characters, you will not be disappointed in the performances of the new...as they did an amazing job of bringing the old familiar crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise back to life. I need not say more than simply...go see it...it's the best ten bucks you'll spend this spring...

I'm off to Water Street Furniture in the Berwick Industrial Park this afternoon. I'll be there from 3:00-6:00pm and I hear there are some fantastic deals on home furnishings there for a limited time...so don't miss out! I'll be looking for a new couch...as I'm told my Cow-print sofa is "so 80's" and needs an update...we'll see what happens. I'll have some gift certificates from Swiss Chalet to give away too!

...And don't forget "Fast and Furious" night at the Valley drive-in Sunday! Myself and the rest of the Magic 94.9 Misfits will be there for what plans to be, a fun-filled night of hot rods and great movies. If you plan on entering your ride in the car show for a chance to win prizes...the gates open at 7:00pm!

Enjoy your looooong weekend, and I hope to see you in my travels!
