Just watched that Houdini 2 parter on Channel4. Its a bit schmaltzy but I grew up reading about him and have always been fascinated.
An amazing talent.

First Contact is certainly the best of the "next generation" films imo, directed by Commander Riker himself, Jonathan Frakes.Quote:

His son Joel was brought in to help as Goldsmith Snr was juggling a lot of projects.
He did the electronic stuff with the Borg scenes.
Joel Goldsmith went on to do the music for Stargate Universe TV series, which reminded me a lot of Vangelis' Blade Runner.
But Yeah, for me Khan's the best movie. :)
James Horner's score is fantastic too. I think of his music for Trek 2 and 3 as a part of the same album really, one flows so well into the other and compliment each other well.

2001 is a big budget art house movie and while its beautiful, visual stunning, great music it is pretty boring in places.Quote:

Yes 2 and 3 are really the one story and while 3 is flawed I thought Christopher Lloyd did a great job as the Klingon commander, so good in fact I didn't recognise him at all.Quote:

I suppose the 'Trek' films are OK if you're under 11 years old, but the music is ghastly! :eek: :lol:
After a few beers my mental age is under 11 so that works just fine :)
Does not compute! I thought alcohol was supposed to make women look more attractive? :->Quote:
