I was nervous when I first heard that J.J. Abrams was releasing a second Star Trek movie. The first was god, but I wasn't sure how they were going to expand off it. As said in this article, it looks "Terrific and Apocalyptically Dark." Apocalyptically Dark!
I am very hopeful about the second movie, and I hope it's as good as the first trailer.
Here's a link to the trailer:

Hobbit Release Soon!
With only one week until The Hobbit is officially released, there are a few questions that are left unanswered. For one, how is Peter Jackson going to be able to split a 270 page book into a three part movie? By looking at the trailer, it shows up to the part where they are captured by the goblins (1:10 into the trailer), which is well over 100 pages into the book. My theory is that many things will be added to the story did not occur in the book, especially towards the end of the story.
I want to hear what you think they are going to do.

Red Sox Winter Moves
Over the Winter Meetings The Red Sox have made some aggressive and well needed signings. After signing a mediocre outfielder, Jonny Gomes with a .266 BA with 18 HR and 47 RBI's, Sox fans needed something else, and oh did we get it.
All-Star catcher for The Texas Rangers Mike Napoli is projected to feel at home at Boston. And as long as he performs the way we expect, fans will welcome him warmly. Although only receiving a .277 BA, 24 HR and 56 RBI's, Napoli's behind the plate work is what has impressed most. And since before Jason Varitek retired from the game, The Red Sox have needed a consistent batter and catcher. Let's hope that's what The Sox get.
Shane Vioctorino formerly of The Los Angelos Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies is the other pick-up The Red Sox received. Victorino has been a consistent lead off man and a speedy outfielder.. The Sox needed another outfielder because of their reputation of injuries. And after Jacoby Ellsbury injury filled past two seasons, The Sox need a fielder that they can count on. The projected first 5 men in the Sox line-up is Ellsbury, Victorino, Pedroia, Ortiz, Napoli, with Middlebrooks, Gomes and Saltalamachia to fill the bottom of the card. I feel good about these signings, but with a newly stacked Blue Jays to add to the mix, as well as as rebounding Yankees, Rays and Orioles, I can't rely on my own word.

Life of Pi (The Movie)
No, I have not read the book...yet. I know, I know I need to read it. And now after seeing the movie I understand why. The story takes place in modern day India following the Patel family, mainly focusing on the youngest son, Piscine. As a young boy, Piscine developed a nick-name, "Pissing." At school he got called Pissing so often that even the teachers start calling him it. So he developed his own nick-name, "Pi."
As a teenager Pi gets an unexpected message from his parents. "We are leaving India." They left on a Japanese boat filled with other passengers and zoo animals. A loud, abrupt, and severe storm hit the ocean and only he a Zebra, an Orangutan, a Hyena and a Bengal Tiger on a life boat survive. How long will he survive with almost nothing?
Here is the trailer:
