When
“Star Trek” first debuted in television back in 1966, few would have
imagined the future success for those intergalactic, infinitive-splitting,
scenery-chewers (luckily the sets were
cheesy).
But creator Gene Roddenberry’s characters and concept struck a
chord with millions, leading to a series of “next-generation” TV shows
and full-length feature films.
Now
with “Star Trek”, director J.J. Abrams takes us back to the
beginning, recasting the characters of Captain Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones,
Uhura and all the rest, and telling his story with the best
special-effects in the world from the people at Industrial Light &
Magic.
The result is one of the best films of the year.
Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, and Simon Pegg,
and keep your eyebrow raised for cameo performances by Leonard Nimoy and
Winona Ryder (who is probably trying to steal the show).
Running
time 122 minutes, rated PG-13.

Most Americans have
heard of the tick-borne ailment known as Lyme disease, and many know that
occurrences are increasing. But
few have a real understanding of the debilitating physical and
neurological effects suffered by long-time victims, and even fewer have
heard of the controversies surrounding Lyme’s.
In “Under Our Skin”,
director Andy Abrahams Wilson pulls back the cover-ups of government,
medical societies and insurance companies and reveals the threat to all
Americans. Doctors across the
country who have diagnosed Lyme’s in their patients and have prescribed
long-term antibiotic therapy, a therapy which has been shown to be
effective, have been prosecuted, censured, sued, and seen their clinics
closed for treating a disease that the Infectious Diseases Society of
America says does not exist.
While
interviewing Dr. Willy Burgdorfer, Ph D, MD, and Scientist Emeritus at the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) at his home in Montana, director
Wilson was surprised when an investigator appeared at Dr. Burgdorfer’s
door, explained that he was from Rocky Mountain Laboratories, a biolevel-4
NIH facility, and said he was there to monitor the interview because
“there were things that Willy can’t talk about.”
Dr. Burgdorfer is the man who first identified the spirochete (a
type of bacterium) involved in Lyme’s, a work that put him on the short
list for a Nobel Prize. Indeed,
the spirochete is named Borrelia
burgdorferi. And the
government doesn’t want him to talk about it.
Please tell your pet-owning neighbors, your outdoorsman friends,
and your veterinarian about this extraordinary new documentary.
Running
time 103 minutes, unrated.

Christine (Alison Lohman)
is a bank loan officer fighting for a promotion.
Her boss has told her that she is one of two candidates being
considered, but he needs to select someone who can “make the tough
decisions”, so when she is approached by an elderly gypsy woman named
Mrs. Ganush (veteran stage actress Lorna Raver – very aptly named, by
the way) for a third extension on her home loan, Christine makes that
tough decision and says no. This
might have been a good career decision, but it proves to be a very bad
lifestyle decision when the old gypsy damns Christine with the curse of
the Lamia, a mythical beast determined to haul the young woman off to
hell. Christine is in for the
fight of her life, without much help from her college professor boyfriend,
who cannot understand why he has to keep coming home to an apartment full
of newly-demolished furniture.
Director Sam Raimi, after a brief diversion doing the three
“Spiderman” films, returns to his “Darkman” horror-movie roots
with “Drag Me to Hell”. Working
with a script he co-wrote with his brother Ivan, he has created a new
classic that Entertainment Weekly calls
“the most crazy, fun, and terrifying horror movie in years!”
Running time 99 minutes,
rated PG-13 (not sadistic stuff, but you will jump out of your shoes).
