Leonard Nimoy may appear in the upcoming "Star Trek" movie directed by J.J. Abrams, but not William Shatner, reports, um, Shatner:

"There's a Star Trek movie, and I called Leonard," Shatner said. "I said, 'Leonard, have you heard?' He said, 'Yes, I have.' I said, 'What do you mean?' He said, 'I've read the script.' I said, 'Is it a good script?' He says, 'Yeah.' I said, 'Am I in it?' And there was a pause. He said no, and then he began to laugh. I went through the phone as I grabbed him by the throat. He's in it. I'm not in it."

The New York Times has an early review of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

Curiously enough, “Order of the Phoenix,” clocking in at a little over two and a quarter hours, is the shortest of the “Harry Potter” films. The nearly 900-page source has been elegantly streamlined by Michael Goldenberg, the screenwriter (who replaces Steve Kloves), and David Yates, the director (who follows Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón and Mike Newell in the job). There is no Quidditch, and not many boarding-school diversions. Instead, “Order of the Phoenix,” which begins like a horror movie with a Dementor attack in a suburban underpass, proceeds as a tense and twisty political thriller, with clandestine meetings, bureaucratic skullduggery and intimations of conspiracy hanging in the air.

The fort featured in the 1970s "Doctor Who" serial "The Sea Devils" is for sale.

The fort was designed and built in the 1860s to guard the approaches to Portsmouth from a feared French invasion that never happened.

In October 1971, when Jon Pertwee played the title role in the BBC's cult show Doctor Who, the crew came to Portsmouth for extensive location filming on an adventure called The Sea Devils, and the exterior of the fort was used.
