Star Trek Into Darkness was a somewhat polarizing film when it was released in 2013. It was the sequel to a very refreshing and inventive Star Trek reboot from 2009, so expectations were on an all-time high for the follow up. Unfortunately, director J.J. Abrams and screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Damon Lindelof just delivered the same thing from the reboot, only goofier and with more references to other Star Trek mov

"Abrams is aware that "we got in trouble on the second Star Trek film with some of the fans," and admitted. "There were too many nods to The Wrath of Khan. I'll cop to that." (Full disclosure: I, the author, was the gentleman who led the now notorious fan panel at the 2013 Las Vegas convention in which we, the aggrieved dweebs of the Trekkie community, declared that Into Darkness was the worst Star Trek film of all time. Very sorry, J.J.) Whether a proposed third Trek film from the Bad Robot crew will serve as a corrective or not remains to be seen, but he acknowledges that the nerds were indeed hea

For an added level of fun for fans, movies and television shows have been known to include easter eggs or subtle references that only the most diligent of viewers will find. But, Disney and Pixar take the inclusion of easter eggs and hidden details to another level. For example, Pixar includes references in its films to the next movie slated for release from the studio, while both Disney and Pixar often include easter eggs of other Mouse House characters in their animated featu

Backstory: After tensions rise at the station, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) visits a Mexican restaurant with other women from the KVWN Channel 4 - plotting a practical joke to get even for the continued arrogance and sexism displayed by Ron Burgandy and the rest of San Diego's "Number One News Team." The restaurant the ladies visit is the "Escupimos en su Alimento" - which, when translated in Spanish, actually means " we spit in your foo

Additionally, Stephen Colbert also asked Abrams about his penchant for lens flares. It's no secret that Abrams is notorious about including (sometimes unnecessarily) a number of big, bright, and distracting lens flares in all of his movies. It's actually a popular Internet meme anytime Abrams announces a new project. The director is well aware of the number of lens flares he used in the past, but affirms that he reduced the filmmaking flourish for The Force Awakens . From Jordan Hoff

The Hunger Games series took a major step up in budget and spectacle with its second instalment, but not every addition was taken completely seriously. When Katniss and Peeta are heading out to make their grand entrance before the next games, the doorway they pass under is clearly marked with the code "PDL-736." The meaning isn't complicated, it's just an address: 736 Ponce de Leon Avenue, a club that the cast would frequent when filming in Atlanta, Geor

Given the talent behind the scenes of Anchorman , including producer Judd Apatow, writer/director Adam McKay, and writer/star Will Farell, it shouldn't come as a complete surprise that one of the funniest gags (in an already highly quotable film) is also one that most American moviegoers will miss entir

While some directors might shy away from fan criticism, J.J. Abrams seems to embrace and accept it. He is fully aware of the fan reaction to Star Trek Into Darkness and his movies overall. He even tries to make up for his misgivings with his next film, but he's not above admitting that he miscalculated what he thinks fans w

Over the weekend, J.J. Abrams and Stephen Colbert were featured in a two-hour "celebrity nerd-off" during the Montclair Film Festival at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey. While Colbert asked Abrams about the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens , the late night talk show host also touched upon Star Trek Into Darkness . According to Jordan Hoffman from Rolling Stone , Abrams admitted that Star Trek Into Darkness had a number of problems, namely that there were too many homages and references to The Wrath of Khan . Hoffman wri

Backstory: When he arrives at a rural mansion, Bill (Tom Cruise) witnesses a satanic ritual. For the scene, Stanley Kubrick enlisted the work of composer Jocelyn Pook, after her song "Backwards Priests" had been used in pre-production to design the infamous orgy sc

It's good and quite funny to see J.J. Abrams admit he has a problem when it comes to lens flares. It's also refreshing to see that he has a sense of humor about it too. But fans will react negatively to The Force Awakens if there are a lot of lens flares throughout its running time. In fact, if you watch any of The Force Awakens marketing materials, such as trailers or TV spots , you can plainly see there will be at least some lens flares featured in the new Star Wars . Hopefully, they're not too distracting to enjoy The Force Awakens , but you know someone out there is going to count each and every one while watching the mo
