Mega franchise, Mega budget. Star Trek doesn't waste its potential to be one of the killer Blu-ray apps. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:50:12 PST http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Star-Trek-Blu-ray.shtml http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/The-Men-Who-Stare-at-Goats.shtml Reviews A funny first half hour becomes aimless and painful to watch in this poor imitation of a Coen Brothers film. ]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 09:31:36 PST http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/The-Men-Who-Stare-at-Goats.shtml http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Precious-Based-on-the-Novel-Push-by-Sapphire.shtml Reviews "It's just another day for you and me in paradise," according to Phil Collins.

Fantastic 4's Silver Surfer. Underworld's Lycans. Will Hollywood (and audiences) never learn to think twice before committing to anything with "Rise" in the title? At least Joe delivers plenty of action in impressive quality.
