Yesterday we chatted about the film scores for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan. Today? Everything else. Without a doubt, the weakest of the Trek scores has got to be the music for what is the most popular films of the franchise – Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You know? The […]
Like a rutting Vulcan deep in the throws of Pon Farr, I have a burning passion for the music of the Star Trek films. From the ethereal movements of Star Trek: The Motion Picture to the explosive tracks of The Wrath of Khan, from First Contact to, yes, even Nemesis, I love the music of […]
Just in time for the season, IoM’s very own Aron (me) does a turn on the Back Seat Producers sharing his thouhts on Martin Scorsese’s Last Temptation of Christ.

Sad news out of Los Angeles tonight. Actor Andy Hallett (TV’s Lorne on Angel) passed away at age 33. He had battled heart disease for five years, according to reports. I always enjoyed Hallett’s role on Angel. His character had heart, humor, and wasn’t afraid to sing the really big songs. Makes me sad. Hallett […]
