I have seen some of the films though, just not the new ones.
I haven't watched all of the original but i've watched all of next generation

Rewatched the Evil Dead remake last night, still stick with my opinion that its fantastic.

Not a fan of the start though, so I started where Mia starts attacking everyone and gets kicked into the basement.
Then on, I think it's not only a fantastic horror film, but a very worthy continuation to the franchise and I very much look forward to what they have in store for the franchise

The trek fans voting it "the worst movie of the trek franchise" was just pathetic. If people care that much they even made the new films alternate universe so the exisiting series continuity is just fine and dandy for the hardcore fans. There are a lot of far worse Trek films out there, most of the Next gen movies after first contact for starters. These films were designed to bring in newcomers to the franchise and get people who normally would not watch trek to actually give it a go.
After watching the first new Star Trek film, I put some of the old/original ones on my rental list and, ironically, saw Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan shortly after, but still a long time before watching Into Darkness. I do have a memory from when I was young of watching a film where Spock talks to a whale, but that's it.

Of course I know about the characters and other things from all the pop culture references including on Futurama and this song:

The Black Gestapo (1975, Lee Frost).
The brothers are sick of Whitey putting them down, so they copy Camille Keaton and stick on some snazi (snazzy) threads....but power corrupts...even Black Power. Easily one of the most offensively funny films I've seen since Water Power. Makes a great double bill with Boss Nigger btw.

Lee Frost is an unsung hero of scuzz, his porno roughie "A Climax of Blue Power" is a fantastic mix of sex, violence and oddness. I've always wondered if Paul Schrader saw it before writing "Taxi Driver".

Watched The Bank Job last night.

Business is slow for Terry Leather, a London car dealer, married with children. He's an artful dodger, so Martine, a former model with a thing for him, brings him her scheme: a bank's alarm is off for a couple weeks, so let's tunnel into the vault. He assembles a team, not realizing her real goal is a safe-deposit box with compromising photos of a royal: she needs the photos to trade for avoiding a jail sentence - and MI-5, or is it MI-6, is pulling the strings two steps removed. A Trinidadian thug, a high-end bordello owner, and a pornographer also have things stored in the vault, so the break-in threatens many a powerful personage. Is there any way these amateurs can pull it off?

Really enjoyed this, I had no idea it was based upon a true story beforehand, I just assumed it was going to be another run of the mill British Crime Caper. Was good to see Jason Statham in a rare non-'British Bruce Willis' role, proving he isn't a one trick pony and Poirot himself was great as the sleazy porn director. Will definitely pick this up on DVD/BD at some point

Not a film, but I've watched the first 6 episodes of the excellent WWII drama-Band of Brothers today. Only my second time viewing the series, despite owning the DVD boxset for years, I'd forgotten how great it is and having read the book before I watched it years ago, an extremely accurate depiction of the horrors the 101st Airborne went through.
I'm gonna watch the remaing 4 episodes tomorrow and finally check out the extra features
