Movie: “Star Trek Into Darkness”
The much anticipated sequel to the latest “Star Trek” reboot, directed by J.J. Abrams, will be premiering next week. In this installment, the iconic characters return to battle a villain more evil than they’ve ever faced before, to be played by the adored Benedict Cumberbatch. Based on the first film in the series and the epic teaser trailers released of the movie to come, the hype surrounding this blockbuster will be well deserved. Plus, what could be better than adding Mr. Handsombatch to an already fantastic (and good-looking) cast? This is one film I’d splurge for to see on the big screen.“Star Trek Into Darkness” premieres nationwide on May 17.
Concert: Imagine Dragons
Colorado favorites Imagine Dragons will be in town this week for a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo. on Thursday, May 16. Even if you’re unfamiliar with the group, you’d surely recognize their hit singles “Radioactive” and “It’s Time,” which have been taking over airwaves since the band’s recent spike in popularity. The electric setting of Red Rocks coupled with the intensive energy of this band’s music are sure to create a concert worth attending. Unfortunately, tickets are currently sold out, but if you can get your hands on a pair you should definitely take advantage of the opportunity.
Book: “Inferno”
Dan Brown, author of “The Da Vinci Code,” “Angels & Demons” and “The Lost Symbol” is releasing the latest novel in the Robert Langdon series, “Inferno,” today, May 14. This installment follows Professor Robert Langdon’s quest to decode the famous “Dante’s Inferno” and solve the mysteries surrounding it. Other than that measly tidbit, the plot of the new novel has been carefully guarded, which has only contributed to the fan hysteria preceding it. The book is projected to do extremely well in stores, with the largest level of customer pre-orders since JK Rowling’s “The Casual Vacancy.” It also doesn’t hurt that the last book in the series, “The Lost Symbol,” was released in 2009, which left fans with four years of waiting between installments. “Inferno” is going for $17.49 on Amazon (hardback edition), and the electronic Kindle version is priced at $14.99 and was released today.
