SIGHTHOUND REVIEW: A SCENE BY SCENE STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS CRITIQUE

Legend has it that Alfred Hitchcock coined the term "Sandwich Moment" and used it to describe an event that would occur a day or so after watching a film of... questionable quality. He sometimes used the similar term, "Refrigerator Moment." It's kind of a funny, frustrating, revelation. It feels like you've had the wool pulled over your eyes and suddenly, after the fact, notice it. Like you witnessed a great slight of hand artist at work and just figured out his trick. In a flash, you feel respect for the skill involved, and amusement or entertainment on some level for the ingenuity of the trick, but primarily, you feel like you just got taken.


One of these dudes is an Asian Sikh with Mongol ancestry. Can you guess which one?

FIRST (BLURRY) SHOT OF A KLINGON FROM STAR TREK 2!

So the good folks over at AintItCoolNews.com have scooped a leaked image from the new Trek Movie. Apparently J.J. Abrams visited MTV recently and some keen observer noticed this shot on a monitor behind the director's chair. Word is this is a helmeted Klingon and it's the first look at what the new film series is planning for the classic bad-guy aliens.
