Bloody Good Movie
I think that this movie was horribly underrated in the UK, and it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. I saw the animated series before the movie, and got interested in watching it, but as I have a phobia of vomit, I was incredibly shocked when I saw Bill Murray throw up all over Molly Shannon with visual and graphic sounds. Still, I plucked up the courage to watch the rest of the movie, which I really enjoyed. However, to this day I have to skip the vomit scene on my DVD. I liked the fact that it was a classic ‘cop type’ story, with a baddie, a love interest, a rookie cop and a partnership too. I thought that David Hyde Pierce played the part of Drix brilliantly and Chris Rock was superb as Osmosis. I also like the fact that the movie teaches kids that it’s important to take care of yourself
My friend and I still quote ‘You gotta get spiffy!’ all the time. I also really loved the soundtrack, I went frantic searching for the CD!

“Star Trek” Movie Review
“Star Trek 2009″ Plot Summary
A chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. |
Fun
As someone with a longstanding fondness for most things Trek (I’ve seen most of the movies and quite a few of the shows), I have to say that JJ & Co did a fine job with this picture; the character dynamics were broadly satisfying, the action scenes entertaining and the set pieces well put together. Most of all I was impressed with the lightness of touch of the whole venture – it would be very easy to criticise the picture for making what could be considered significant changes to certain parts of Trek lore, but given that the changes were accomplished with such comfort and confidence makes them, in my view, perfectly acceptable.
With regards to the acting characterisation, everyone was pretty much solid, with perhaps the exception of Sulu, who I thought didn’t have much to do. Kudos, though, to Zoe Saldana’s loveliness as Uhura and also, especially, to Chris Pine as Kirk – I had always thought Spock was my favourite character, but it looks like I may have to reassess; Pine lives and breathes that Kirk moxie exquisitely and he’ll be great fun to watch in future instalments.
With regards to plot, it’s pretty good; there is a decent sense of internal logic to it, without it being too overwrought. True, there are a number of points where you might think, ‘Blimey, that’s serendipitous,’ but as I’d already suspended my disbelief to accept the possibility of time travelling green-blooded alien from the planet Vulcan, these things really didn’t bother me at all. Plus there were a number of points in the movie where they were saying, ‘We were pulling this kind of shtick 20+ years ago, and you loved it then; run with us on this one,’ and I was happy to.
Oh, and most importantly of all, the movie is fun; it has the good sense to not take itself too seriously, despite remaining well aware of that sense of pomp and importance that all great character dramas should have, and that isn’t a bad thing at all.
How this movie will bear up to repeat viewings, I’m not certain yet, but at the premiere, it was a blast.
Addendum: It’s a month plus since I originally wrote this and I have seen the film three times in total now – the opening ten minutes remain a manipulative marvel that the remainder of the film struggles to match, the coincidences and conveniences seem even more far fetched than ever and the jokes seem even more silly BUT I still fancy seeing it again, so I guess it must work for me.

“Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock” Plot Summary
Admiral Kirk and his bridge crew risk their careers stealing the decommissioned Enterprise to return to the restricted Genesis planet to recover Spock’s body. add synopsis
the best Trek movie, in my opinion
Most Star Trek fans will tell you that the even numbered movies are the best ones, but this one is my favorite of the series
More so than in Wrath of Kahn, the crew experiences loss in this movie. The crew of the Enterprise loses almost everything. By hijacking the Enterprise, they put their future in Starflleet in danger. They do so because of some facet of ancient Vulcan mysticism they’re not sure they believe. Once they get to the Genesis planet to retrieve Spock’s body, Kirk loses his son and the Enterprise is destroyed. Compare this to the Enterprise being destroyed in Generations. They seem to laugh it off and say, oh we’ll get another ship. I very much appreciate the fact that a genuine sense of sacrifice from almost all the characters. All of the main characters lose almost everything, and the road towards getting back even a fraction of what they once had is long and difficult.

Wonderful comedy, unmissable!
I absolutely loved Miss Congeniality, it was funny warm and completely likable. The best aspect was the charming and funny performance of the underrated Sandra Bullock as Gracie, in possibly her best role. Gracie is a beautiful woman, but her behaviour like the pig snorting isn’t very typical of women. She is excellently supported by a witty, side splittingly funny script, and some lovely camera-work. (the painting scene was priceless)Not to mention the original plot that never marred the feel good nature of the film. The performances of Michael Caine and Candice Bergen were excellent. But if I had one minor criticism, it would be that William Shatner slightly overplayed his part of Stan, other than that it is a comedy you just don’t want to miss. 9.5/10 Bethany Cox.

“Star Trek: Generations” Movie Review
“Star Trek VII: Generations” Plot Summary
Capt. Picard, with the help of supposedly dead Capt. Kirk, must stop a madman willing to murder on a planetary scale in order to enter a space matrix. add synopsis
One of the best, next to ST:First Contact
This is undoubtedly one of the best Star Trek films next to First contact. The special FX were superb, the plot was excellent, acting was excellent, and one of the most striking things about the film was the beautiful filming locations
The beginning started off a little weak but towards the middle of the film the movie began to strut it’s stuff. Once the plot forms after the destruction of a Federation science station the movie will not fail you. The Enterprise-Klingon battle scene was excellent, and the factor which allows the Enterprise to win is also very interesting. Although the part on the planets surface where Picard tries to stop Soran (Malcolm McDowell) was a little weak, especially where Picard magically escapes Soran’s 3 disruptor blasts unharmed, the scenes after that were spectacular. After entering the Nexus and realizing he must go back to save the crew of the Enterprise (and the Solar System they are in) Picard seeks Kirk’s help (William Shatner). I was truly amazed by the filming locations, they were downright beautiful! Kirk and Picard fit very nicely into it, and it is easy to see why Kirk would not want to leave ‘the Nexus’. The ending fight between Soran and the Kirk-Picard team was a bit sub-par compared to other ST movies, but none-the-less it put a very nice touch to the end of the movie. The way that they leave the story open to a another movie is very well done, and I have to say it fits in very nice with ST: First Contact
I would definitely recommend renting or buying this movie, and if you watched it on TV then I have to tell you to go rent the movie, because many scenes were ‘edited’ out to fit the movie in a 2-hour timeslot.

“Star Trek: The Motion Picture” Plot Summary
When a destructive space entity is spotted approaching Earth, Admiral Kirk resumes command of the Starship Enterprise in order to intercept, examine, and hopefully stop it.
Exciting and spectacular movie that originates the continued series cinema
Film deals about the veteran crew which abandon the contemplated retirement to aboard in the Enterprise Starship NC 1701 for the confrontation at bizarre foe in shape of giant space entity that’s devouring planets and destroying everything in its relentless rout toward Earth
Star Trek series remain as a landmark in the story of science fiction and continuing the cinematographic adaptation ,director Robert Wise makes an interesting film
It’s essentially a following up of the television episodes
In the Star Trek movie the protagonists are incarnated by the usual saga TV,thus are Captain Kirk(Shatner),Spock(Nimoy),Bones(Deforest Kelley),Scotty(James Doohan recently deceased),Uhura(Michelle Nichols),Chejov(Walter Koenig),Zulu(George Takei), plus appear Captain Decker(Stephen Collins) and lieutenant Ilia(Persis Khabatta), both ‘ll have an important final role. The storyline is developed upon characters personages as well as the action and magnificent production design and special effects realized by John Dykstra and Douglas Trumbull. Friendship,idealism,humor,fellowship,humanity are issues which abound and will please the fans such us the initiated
For comic relief at charge of the varied jokes in the relationships the James T.Kirk with Bones or Spock and even Scotty
The yarn has a climatic and stimulating ending. Jerry Goldsmith music (habitual series musician)is exceptional and impressively. The motion picture is rightly directed by Robert Wise . The flick will like to the science fiction lovers and the trekkers.

“Over the Hedge” Movie Review
“Over the Hedge” Plot Summary
A scheming raccoon fools a mismatched family of forest creatures into helping him repay a debt of food, by invading the new suburban sprawl that popped up while they were hibernating…and learns a lesson about family himself.
Sometimes the simplest stories make the best films
My low expectations were floored by a great adventure a la DreamWorks a simple adventure about survival in which a raccoon ‘accidentally’ steals and loses all provisions belonging to a ferocious bear, whom then threatens him and demands he replenish every item of food lost within one week or else he will suffer the consequences. Over the Hedge thus sees RJ the raccoon (Bruce Willis) scour the environment in search for goods, a mission that is facilitated when RJ comes across a mismatched family of forest creatures whom he convinces to help him gather the food he needs from the Suburbian residences just over the hedge
The film opens with RJ on a scrat-like adventure after that-one-piece-of-food and he suffers all the detours and diversion that this mission entails. As is the meticulous animation style of DreamWorks, it lacks the rewarding simplicity of Blue Sky Studios (Ice Age) and does not quite achieve the same level of hilarity and laughter that the latter effortlessly elicits. It even mimics the possum playing dead from Ice Age: The Meltdown which evokes more raised eyebrows than anything. At this point I am also noticing that Willis’ voice is much too muzzled and unremarkable to be lent to a protagonist. Although, Nick Nolte makes for a fine bear villain
Soon ‘Over the Hedge’ thankfully abandons mediocrity and completely stuns me with layered humour and an energy that it begins to apply to all aspects in the film, the hyper-active ADHD squirrel Hammy most of all. It spirals into an enjoyable romp evenly peppered with 1) goofy light laughs for kids (courtesy of Hammy the squirrel), 2) balanced gags-for-all such as the hilarious zealot exterminator who botches his way through the tracking down of the pesky vermin and 3) sophisticated humour and interwoven references from Citizen Kane, A Streetcar Named Desire and Dr Phil. It is a perfect amalgam of different sorts of comedy and blends and balances its content with deft strokes. Granted, the story neatly ticks off cliches from a formula but it does so skillfully
Indeed there is a surprising amount of sophistication to be found when you weed through all the standard spoofs. Specifically the film directs social commentary on humans’ and animals’ eating habits as RJ remarks how ‘We eat to live. Humans live to eat.’ It juxtaposes these lifestyles when the forest family teams up to assault the neighbourhood in which larger-than-life boxes and packets of nachos, donuts and popcorn are abundant and the shiny silver fridge is Mecca. In the midst of the food-heists there is much action to be found in the form of vibrant, kinetic chases, shooting rockets and acrobatic stunts over the hedge. It is even a bit chaotic toward the end but a great slow-motion capture ties the pacing together
The aforementioned render ‘Over the Hedge’ a very alive film and its action alone rightfully vaults it into ‘Great Animated Comedies’ status. It is no Shrek, but it’s extremely enjoyable. Like Shrek however, DreamWorks provides for the crisp, aesthetically-intoxicating animation of nature whose every screenshot is so picturesque that you just want to snap a picture of, frame and hang in on your wall. What’s more is that its heist-oriented core with its mandatory sense of immediate danger tingling in the air is something of what Mike Tyson was the boxing in the 1980’s: A safe bet.8 out of 10

“Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” Movie Review
“Star Trek VI” Plot Summary
The crews of the Enterprise and the Excelsior must stop a plot to prevent a peace treaty between the Klingon Empire and the Federation. add synopsis
Great finale.
Star Trek the Undiscovered Country is a great finale for the original cast of one of the greatest television shows. We actually begin with Captain Sulu and his ship, the Excelsior. An explosion rocks them and they determine that the moon of Kronos has exploded. This puts the Klingon race at great risk. Both Federation and Klingon officials talk of a peace that should happen in order to save the Klingon world. However, there are some that believe such an alliance is not a good idea. Kirk is one of them. Yet, he is chosen to command the Enterprise to meet with Councillor Gorkon of the Klingons. After a tense dinner, the Klingon ship is attacked. Unsure of what is going on, Kirk and McCoy beam over to the alien ship to discover Gorkon was assassinated. They are arrested and tried for treason. They are found guilty and sent to an asteroid prison. Meanwhile, the crew of the Enterprise works to disprove the allegations against Kirk. This is against Starfleet orders. This one has it all: comedy, story, plot, and action. Aside from the finding evidence to clear their comrades, the Enterprise crew also uncovers a conspiracy within Starfleet. One of the most entertaining scenes for humor was a dinner with the Enterprise Crew and the Klingons. I also liked the aliens created for the Klingon gulag. Another aspect I liked was Sulu having his own command and working hard to help the Enterprise. Another good scene is when the Excelsior and Enterprise must play tag-team against a cloaked Klingon Warbird. This was the final voyage of the original cast. And it was one of the best.

Great!
I didn’t like this movie when I first saw it, but I rented it today because I’ve been watching the earlier movies and wanted to see it too. I love this movie because of all the ST movies, this one reminds me of an episode of ST. I think Shatner did a good job and made the right choices by emphasizing the characters again vs. a lot of F/X and spacefights. The only thing is that some of the effects are a little ‘cheap,’ but that’s not such a big deal. The movie works for me.

“Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan” Movie Review
“Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” Plot Summary
Admiral Kirk’s midlife crisis is interrupted by the return of an old enemy looking for revenge and a potentially destructive device.
Best Star Trek movie (and one of the best sci-fi movies) ever!
I rented the first three of the six original Star Trek movies a couple of months ago. After trying to sit through The Motion Picture twice, and couldn’t, This one I expected to be similar. Quite contrary. While The Motion Picture (TMP) had bleak and dull lighting, costumes (bad costumes even for Star Trek) This starts off with Spock’s Iconic ear, and we see a well done scene (The reason I knew what was going on is because I read Leonard Nimoy’s biography, where he talks about the movie) Then we have Khan, the best Star Trek villain ever! Ricardo Montalban gave the best performance of the movie with great lines, and he was threatening
This movie also broke new ground with one thing: Chekov (Walter Koenig) actually did something that progressed the plot! after two seasons of just saying ‘mother Russia’ and occasionally giving an input, he actually progressed plot! I suppose that you know the ending by now (I won’t say, just in case you don’t. But even if you do know what will happen, you still will love the scene (If you just want to watch it, I first found it on YouTube, result of lack of patience to sit through the movie for hours when I just want to watch that scene) After watching the whole movie, I still loved it very much and almost cried
Just watch this movie, It is the best Star Trek movie, with First Contact as a close second. The only advantage this movie has is it isn’t actually a geeky movie like the other nine (or the five of which I have seen)
