Not a book, but now a movie rave..

When I was a kid, I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation religiously. I thought Captain Jean-Luc Picard was the shiznit, and I was an absolute huge fan. I occasionally watched an episode or two of Star Trek (the original series), and while it didn't thrill me the way TNG did (I mean, c'mon, I was a kid in the 90's. 60's special effects bored me), I still loved it.

I had really wanted to see Star Trek this past summer in theatres, but unfortunately it never happened. However, the hubs and I finally got to see it last night when we got it from On Demand. Frankly... HOLY CRAP! I LOVED it! I had heard great things about it, but I didn't expect to like it nearly as much as I did.

Being a female nerd, I loved Chris Pine back when he played Anne Hathaway's romantic interest in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. Okay, who am I kidding. I still love that movie and him in it. So I had been really excited ever since I first heard ages ago that he had been cast as Captain Kirk. And Heroes dude as Spock? Totally. Awesome.

If you haven't seen the movie, umm, yeah. WATCH IT!
