The trailer looks intriguing but the jury is still out on this one I think.

It’s two parts, but worth it, if you haven’t seen his Phantom Menace review it’s really worth the time.

Warning: There’s spoilers if you haven’t seen the movie, and cursing, oh my…

Do you agree or disagree?

Sherlock Holmes looks intersting

Kind of reminds me of a “Butch Kassidy and Sundance Kid” sort of movie. It could do well and revitalize a classic story for a new market. Definitely caught my eye.

Review: Star Trek

Gene — Tue, 12 May 2009 02:30:41 +0000

I have to say that I’ve been looking forward to this movie for quite some time now. I finally got to get out and see it opening weekend and it did not disappoint. I am now thoroughly convinced that J.J. Abrams is a genius film maker/story teller and will devour pretty much anything he produces from here on out. This new Star Trek Kicking & Screaming video

story works on several different levels. If you are a long time Trekkie/Trekker

you’re going to love it for all of its references and classic recreations of dialog and snippets from the original series, if you couldn’t care less about Star Trek and just want to see a great movie that’s both engaging and entertaining then you’re also going to love this movie.

First the acting is top notch, Zachary Quinto delivers a performance that makes me pretty much give up on watching Heros, he’s impeccable as Spock. In several scenes he brings a sense of coolness to Spock that we’ve never seen before.

Karl Urban does perhaps the best impersonation of DeForest Kelly i’ve ever seen, he’s just dead on. Though Simon Pegg has to be the scene stealer as we discover him as Scotty on an ice planet (the equivelent of pulling the south pole desk job as a research scientist…) Chris Pine does a very fine job playing James T. Kirk, he brings the swagger and never say die attitude we love from our starship captains. Hercules movies

The second and most important thing about this movie is the absolute genius of the story line, I won’t lay out any spoilers, but what J.J. Abrams has done is set himself up with a clean slate to tell more stories of the adventures of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew without needing to rely on the heavy cannon that is the Star Trek universe. It contains plenty of action scenes but they all seem logically arranged and they all pretty much make sense (in that Star Trek sort of way.)

Meta Critic is scoring this movie quite high and I have to agree with everyone else on this one, go see it and let us know how the experience is on IMAX for those of you lucky ones.

Review: Watchmen

Gene — Sat, 09 May 2009 08:07:10 +0000

I’ll have to admit, I am one of those people who read the graphic novel both when it came out originally and later in life as an adult. It is one of those stories that changes the way you see things. I always hoped that Hollywood would turn out a movie version of this story and at the same time feared they would as well. There has been plenty of terrible super hero movies, so many in fact I often wonder how the good ones are made at all. I really liked the Watchmen, I would say I liked it as much as last year’s Batman: the Dark Night movie. Even though I was very familiar with the story and the characters I found the movie to be faithful to both the heart and soul of the original story and as well visually, as documented even copied frame-for-frame as much as possible.

There is plenty of comparison between last year’s Dark Night and the Watchmen, if you liked Dark Night you are sure to enjoy the Watchmen, though Watchmen is considerably more graphic and dark. I love Zack Snyder movies, 300 was awesome, and the Watchmen is very well done. I’m also no prude but did feel like the high level of violence and sex scenes were out of scope with the story. I’m a purist in the sense that I like all of the pieces of a movie to come together to propel it forward and there were times when I felt like parts of the fight sequences’ violence simply took me out of the story. I was watching it for the blood instead of the storyline and that’s never good. Perhaps that’s a result of it going from comic to screen, I know the comic has violence and sex in it, maybe when it’s on a 30′ x 70′ foot screen it’s harder to miss.

Rorschach is my all-time favorite character from the story, and he could not have been cast better, same with the Comedian. Malin Ackerman who played the Silk Specter II fell short of good, but I have always thought that character was the weakest in the entire story.

When it’s all said and done, you should check this one out, it’s not likely you’ll see another super hero movie like this one ever again.
