Madea in Space???



















If you have been under a rock and have not seen Star Trek yet.  Tyler Perry has a special cameo as Admiral Richard Barnett of Star Fleet.  Can't miss him. And there is no truth to the rumor of a Madea in Space, sorry.  Was this a cheap ploy to lure people to the theater.  Is Admiral Richard Barnett the new Lando Calrissian (Billy Dee Williams)?  Well from several interviews it appears that JJ Abrams respects and admires Perry and wanted him in the film.  That's all.

Did Star Trek Miss Women




















Star Trek opening this past weekend to $75 Million.  Slightly less than expectation and $10 Million less than Wolverine with week before.  Some are scratching their heads behind the wondering what may have been the difference for the softer opening.  It is believed that Paramount may have missed the boat on Women.  Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) while clearly a guy film had a hunk in the lead that had a female following.  While Star Trek on the other hand had a crop of stars that were unknown and the ensemble was pushed more than the young Kirk (Chris Pine).  It is believed that ST will fare better over time given it's strong reviews and possible repeat business.
