"The fifth Star Trek film, The Final Frontier, is widely considered to be the worst of the original six and a contender for worst of all eleven entries in the franchise. That is a distinction this production doesn't deserve. Certainly, this story about the Enterprise being hijacked in the search for "God," has its faults. But it's nowhere near the unwatchable mess some people will claim. While it is true the visual effects are substandard for a Trek feature and the humor reeks of the writers trying too hard AND some of the devices used to get the Enterprise on its way are circumspect, this outing retains one of the most important parts of the previous entry: the focus on the relationship between Kirk (William Shatner), Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and McCoy (DeForest Kelley).With a story by Shatner, Harve Bennett and David Loughery, Star Trek V tries to replicate the success of Star Trek IV by taking a lighter, more laid back approach to the material. This is often cited as one of the main ... "

"Star Trek IV: The Voyage HomeI've been watching the Star Trek films sequentially and for the first time. I think I feel as though each one gets better and better. Not that I feel this one is anywhere close to a masterpiece, but it's nice that they were able to have a little bit of fun with it.In the commentary they say that Harve Bennett wrote the scenes where the crew are in their own time and Nicholas Meyer wrote all the stuff where they are on Earth in the 1980's. It certainly feels like two different movies. Kind of strange that there seems to be humor in one world and not the other. Why does it make the future seem like it's so humorless? Apparently people in the future no longer swear or understand sarcasm. It's hard to believe that we could change so much, but maybe if we were to meet other life forms.... whatever.The most amusing parts of this are of course those interactions between the crew of the Enterprise and people from 1980's Earth.

"With the New Hampshire primary upon us, and in response to the results of last week’s Iowa Caucus, I’ve been thinking about the possible influence of pop culture on Democratic voters. Is it possible that Obama performed better than Clinton because 24 is a more popular TV show than was the short-lived Commander in Chief? The former has so far featured two African American Presidents, played by Dennis Haysbert and D.B. Woodside, while the latter was about a female President, portrayed by Geena Davis. The next season of 24, which is set to premiere once the WGA strike is finished, will actually feature a female President, played by Cherry Jones, but it may be too late. Americans could already be set on nominating a black man, because they’re more familiar with seeing such a President on both the big and small screen. And what a crop of African American actors we’ve seen as the leader of the United States: Morgan Freeman (Deep Impact); James Earl Jones (1972’s The Man); Tommy ‘Tiny’ Li ... "
