Seamy Reman

   This week two films about master negotiators. 

     Small time con, Eddie, can sell anything to anyone. He dreams of one day opening his own store and sees it as his way out from under the ever more controlling grip of local crime boss, John Power. Unfortunately, right when it seems things might go Eddie's way for once, things take a turn toward the horrible as Power's nephew (and Eddie's partner) absconds with Power's young bride and a lockbox full of cash. Is there a light at the end of this tunnel or is there only death waiting Trojan Eddie?
     The tenth film overall in the franchise. The fourth and final film with the Next Gen crew. The Enterprise-E is forced to deal with a coup within the Romulan Star Empire when a coup leaves Shinzon, an imperfect clone of the Enterprise's own captain Jean-Luc Picard, as Praetor. A box office disappointment, it led Paramount to declare "franchise fatigue" and put the franchise in a box on a low shelf for a few years. Fantastic ship effects and the always wonderful Patrick Stewart just weren't enough to save Star Trek: Nemesis.

 This week four films set on small fragile metal boxes floating in the cold vacuum of space.

Since nothing is ever easy they will also unravel a deep conspiracy against any peace and their own deeply held views on their former enemy.
