Oh, boy, is Star Trek Into Darkness fun. Never mind the “into darkness” thing; J.J. Abrams is still connected to the joy and hope at the core of Gene Roddenberry’s original vision. And see it in IMAX if you can.

My review appears in today’s NOW, along with my interview with John Cho; you’ll also find me chatting with Michael Shannon about The Iceman. (Sadly, the interview took place last fall at TIFF, months before his career-defining work at Funny or Die. I will try to follow up when Man of Steel comes around.)

I’ve also got a few words about the Chris Marker retrospective down at the Lightbox this week. It’s brilliant stuff; please go see as many of those as you can.
