Star Trek: Into Darkness   Patch Blogger Mark Glass: **** It’s time again to boldly go...where tons of TV and movie cameras have gone before. Space. The final frontier. For context, this is the second feature film showing the original crew of the Enterprise in the beginning of their careers, in an alternate time line, allowing both overlaps and variations from the stories and characters that started the whole  franchise. That allows Benedict Cumberbatch (best known as a contemporary Sherlock Holmes…

Director and co-writer Baz Lurhrmann ambitiously tries for a 3-D spectacle with several lavish party scenes that Busby Berkeley would have envied. He inserts bits of  anachronistically modern music into this 1922 setting. That worked beautifully in his Moulin Rouge, and hilariously in the opening joust of A Knight’s Tale, but feels overly…

Kirkwood Comedian Gets a Comedy Central Special

Nikki Glaser was a semifinalist on the network's "Last Comic Standing" when she still attending college.

Kirkwood native Nikki Glaser has come up through the comedy clubs, been a semifinalist on Comedy Central's "Last Comic Standing" and now has her own half-hour comedy special on the same network.

After last year’s sleeper sensation, Beasts of the Southern Wild, we get another soggy setting for a lesser, but still worthy, coming-of-age drama that’s more about specific characters than a subculture. Here, a couple of teen boys, Ellis and "Neckbone" (one of the coolest nicknames in movie history) find a guy (Matthew McConaughey) hiding on an island in the sleepy backwaters near their small …
