However, that lax categorization means that films explicitly concerning the Halloween holiday get lost in the shuffle. Where’s the love for those titles that dare to actually focus on this beloved time of…

Sold for around 7 pounds a kilogram ($4.26 per pound), it was sometimes worth an extra 10,000…

Paramount When Gene Roddenberry created “Star Trek,” he didn’t pull it out of a vacuum. Impressed with a real life World War II Navy vessel, the USS Enterprise, Roddenberry modeled the capital ship of Starfleet after the carrier and the organization itself after the Navy. For this reason, many of the ranks and designations worn by Starfleet personnel have roots in the real world. That’s why a helmsman pilots the USS Enterprise from the bridge. There’s also a galley and a brig. What’s a bit murky are the rank insignia meanings…
