Four of the big-screen 'Star Trek' spin-offs featuring the crew of 'The Next Generation'. In 'Generations' (1994), Captain James T Kirk (William Shatner) reluctantly comes out of retirement to attend the launch of the 'Enterprise B'. When the ship attempts to rescue two cargo ships trapped in a strange electrical field, part of its structure is shorn away - taking Kirk with it.
78 years later, 'Enterprise D' captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is mourning the deaths of his brother and nephew when he is called to investigate an attack on the Amagosa Observatory. The culprits turn out to be Picard's old adversaries, renegade Klingons Lursa and B'Etor, allied with sinister El Aurian scientist Dr Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Soran was amongst those rescued by the 'Enterprise B', and is now desperate to return to the energy field - called the Nexus - which claimed Kirk's life.
When Picard himself enters the Nexus, a historic encounter results. In 'First Contact' (1996), Captain Jean-Luc Picard, once assimilated by the alien Borg, now senses that they are about to return. He is proved correct when the Collective engages the Enterprise E in battle, only to escape through a temporal vortex into the Earth's past. Picard and his crew glimpse an alternative Earth which is dominated by the Borg and, in an attempt to find out how the Borg have altered the timeline, follow them back to the year 2063, one day before Zefram Cochran (James Cromwell) made the first warp drive journey. It was this event that attracted the attention of some passing Vulcans and established Earth's 'first contact' with alien life. While Riker (Jonathan Frakes) leads an away team to prevent the Borg from tampering with the Earth's history, Picard must repel a Borg invasion of the Enterprise.
In 'Insurrection' (1998), a Federation team are unobtrusively observing life on the remarkable world of Ba'ku, where 600 peaceful inhabitants enjoy the planet's youth-preserving qualities. However, forces within the alliance want to repatriate the population so that the planet's resources can be exploited more intensively. Captain Jean-Luc Picard leads his crew in an effort to protect Ba'ku's residents and thereby honour the Federation's Prime Directive: non-intervention in the development of other civilisations.
'Nemesis' (2002) is the tenth instalment in the 'Star Trek' film series. When Picard and the crew discover a disassembled prototype of their android colleague Data (Brent Spiner) on a distant planet, they take the parts back to the Enterprise and attempt to put them back together. Meanwhile, news arrives that the new Romulan leader Shinzon (Tom Hardy) wants to restore relations with the United Federation of Planets and Picard is sent to negotiate.
When Picard arrives, he uncovers a shocking truth about Shinzon's connection to himself, and unearths a sinister plot to destroy the Earth.
Romantic comedy starring Kate Hudson and Gael Garcia Bernal. Marley
Corbett (Hudson) is a dying woman with a big fear of falling in
love. Soon after being diagnosed with cancer, Marley meets her
match in Julian (Bernal) and finds the prospect of losing romantic
control much more frightening than death itself. The film co-stars
Kathy Bates as Marley's mother and Whoopi Goldberg as God.
It's Whoopi here and I've written this book that, frankly, is the
last book anyone would expect. You would never think of me as
someone with the courage to say, 'You have everything you need to
be fantastic in your own house, apartment, or trailer to set a
great table.' Let's face it, you look at a lot of books on
Entertaining and think 'I could never do this in my house, I don't
have this stuff and it's not going to look like what I'm seeing.'
That's not what's going to happen here! I want to show you there is
great heart in setting the table. For two or four or the kids or
Halloween or tea just for you. For dinners with friends or the
holidays. I'm going to tell you stories about what I do when people
come over and give you ideas about what you're seeing because
Honey, everything in this book is what you can do in your house.
You got a bodega or a 7-Eleven near you? They sell flowers. Take
those bad boys and put them on your table. You got some crazy old
plate from your grandmother (or a fancy silver one)? You got little
kids' toys that have been annoying you forever, put them on the
table too. Who's going to tell you it's wrong? Not me! I'm going to
tell you it's right and I'm going to take you on a journey. And
don't forget the bathroom; decorate it too, people are going to see
it. It's all at your house. Come with me. I'll show you! P.S. I
know the glass on the cover is broken. Accidents happen!'

HINDSIGHT is one man's remarkably revealing story about sex and
relationships, on the silver screen and in his private life. Howie
Gordon (screen name Richard Pacheco) was an award-winning actor
during The Golden Age of Porn, whose memoir does not duck the
question, "What about love?" With charm, passion, wit, and what may
best be described as a crude elegance, Gordon's story takes us back
to the fabled Baby Boomer era, when erotic films took a dramatic
step closer to mainstream entertainment in America. His memoir
recounts scenes with Marilyn Chambers, Georgina Spelvin, Seka,
Annette Haven, Kay Parker and many others. This was the heyday of
John Holmes, John Leslie, Jamie Gillis and Anthony Spinelli, and
they are all characters in what may prove to be the finest inside
story to ever come out of the fascinating world of Adult Film
during its Golden Age. Ultimately, HINDSIGHT is a surprising love
story: here in a triumph over incredible odds, is an unlikely
victory for true love, common sense, and the American way. Full of
pictures and high spirits - this memoir is a great read, whether
you know the world of porn, or are just a curious reader. "It was
the time of storytelling with an X Rating, and there's no one
better to tell this story than my friend Howie Gordon." - Whoopi
Goldberg "Howie Gordon writes about life as a porn star with more
honesty, integrity and humor than any other porn star, ever You
will laugh, cry, and fall in love. I hope his book gets made into a
movie, because it will be a one-of-a-kind blockbuster." - Annie
Sprinkle, Ph.D. Post Porn Modernist "Mark Twain meets Don Juan-a
delectable fusion of brains and balls " - Dr. Marianna Beck, Ph.D.
The Material Culture of Sex
Have you noticed people aren't as polite as they once were or that
rudeness is no longer an exception but a lifestyle? Sure you have.
All you need to do is set foot outside your door to see that bad
manners are taking over everywhere. Just look and you'll see:
People yak on cell phones in restaurants, and even at church.Folks
in carpools wear enough cologne to make your eyes bleed.Family
outings to the ballpark are ruined by rowdy drunks.People talk in
movie theaters like they are in their living rooms. Well, Whoopi
Goldberg has noticed all this and more and asked herself, "Is it
just me?" Unleashing her trademark irreverence and humor, her book
of observations takes a funny and excruciatingly honest look at how
a loss of civility is messing with the quality of life for all of
us.
