Look it’s a link to a very good article about the use of special effects in modern films:

Saw the reimagined Star Trek film last night. If you’ve run out of original ideas for films and need to rehash an old film or TV series, this is how you do it. The film manages to keep all the old characters, but make them unique to the new film. Each introduction is done very well and usually with a good dose of humour. That’s one thing that surprised me about the film, it is very funny, yet without straying near silly. I’d recommend everyone to go and see this, from those who attend Star Trek conventions to those who haven’t seen one episode. Great fun and an excellent film.

I’ve just finished watching the second series of this television show. Really enjoyed this and definately worth watching when it appears over here. The show is based upon Chuck who works in an electronics store, but secretly works for the CIA. It particulary works for me as there are lot of technical (read geeky) references that I get as well as lots of homages to science fiction. The last series has included guest appearances by Scott Bakula and Chevy Chase, who were both great. There is a great supporting cast including the two CIA agents who work with Chuck, his family and friends.

I’ve just changed the company that hosts my domain, website and email. The new company was very helpful throughout the process, so on the very small chance that someone reading this is looking for some domain hosting, I’d thoroughly recommend Vidahost.
