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 …

All you have to do is shoot a quick email to Brian Feldt at brianf@patch.com. The Great Gatsby Patch Blogger Mark Glass: **½ This latest screen version of the classic novel is a mixed bag of assets and flaws. 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 …

For veterans of the first two blockbusters, Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow are back as the leads, with Don Cheadle and Jon Favreau reprising their supporting roles. …

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 …

Steve Persall, Tampa Bay Times. "42 is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful — but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It’s a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times. Do you plan on seeing this movie?

Jurassic Park 3-D Mark Glass, Patch blogger: **** Twenty years ago, Steven Spielberg added to his impressive list of WOW! movies, thrilling, scaring and fascinating the world with this sci-fi epic of cloned dinosaurs running amok at an island theme park. Now hordes of computer geeks have pounced upon the Master's master print, upgrading it with current 3-D technology to fine effect. Not only does the original story hold up, but the basic question of whether our collective wisdom is keeping pace with the rapid pace of scientific advances to use…

G.I. Joe: Retaliation Mark Glass, Patch blogger: ** Well, the recent trend in action flicks continues. 3-D technology advances make the visuals ever more exciting, while the scripts get dumber. Admittedly, my knowledge of the characters’ backstories is wanting, since I didn’t see their 2009 adventure, G. I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra. For fellow newbies, this Joe isn’t just one soldier. It’s the name for an elite unit of special forces with a broad range of military, Ninja and other stylized skills - mortals ranking somewhere between Navy Seals …

The Waiting Room Mark Glass, Patch blogger: *** Anyone who claims the United States’ healthcare system is OK probably has employer-paid insurance, and a primary-care doc on speed dial. Unfortunately, millions have less-to-no coverage and, therefore, little access to needed services. For an appalling number of our compatriots, emergency rooms are their only recourse, leading to huge crowds and long waits in those facilities. This matter-of-fact documentary …
