At this year's Oscars ceremony the Academy awarded the Best Actor statue to Joaquin Phoenix for his performance in Joker. During his acceptance speech Joaquin talked about a variety of topics but most of his talk was aimed at Hollywood and The Academy.

For those that are unaware, an annual is a kids book, which is produced once a year hence the name. All... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago I posted about the Haynes Star Wars Rebellion Starfighters Manual which was a lot of fun to read. Equally as fun to read is the Star Trek USS Enterprise Manual which was published back in 2010. If you are a Trekkie/Trekker and your passion is starships then you need this book...

Calling Star Trek fans! Pilot TV Magazine, produced by the same folks who make Empire Magazine, has a great article on Star Trek: Picard and an interview with Sir Patrick Stewart. It's a nice little read and gives a bit of insight into Sir Pat's thoughts about going back to a role he left behind... Continue Reading →
