Predictable, but nice

It's hard to see this movie without seeing some similarities to "Momma Mia". Amanda Seyfried's character is again named "Sophie" and she sends a letter that brings people across countries to where she is.
"Letters to Juliet" is a story about finding true love. Claire, played wonderfully by Vanessa Redgrave, is trying to find her lost soulmate from 50 years ago, while Sophie is learning that her husband to be is more interested in wine and cheese than here.
The movie is basically clean and funny. It is somewhat predictable, everything comes together for a happy ending, but it is an enjoyable date movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Calm before the storm

This movie is less intense than it's predecessors. Unlike Phoenix, quiddich is again in the movie, although it is Ron, not Harry that proves prominent. A good portion of the story is the romances, which does reduce the amount of effort put into learning about Voldemort's history. Humor is more in abundance, which is a nice touch since readers of the Deathly Hollows know how intense the final two movies will be.
The tempo of this movie was a bit slower which might not appeal to people desiring a higher action content, and the battle at the end was significantly scaled back (probably the biggest downer).
All in all, an engrossing movie, but probably not one to be viewed over and over.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A New Beginning
PostedMay 17, 2009

This is the first trek movie in a long time that will create its own following and make a new generation eagerly await a sequel. It combines great action sequences with time travel, humor and characters that people want to know more about. Rather than a remake where actors try to outdo their predecessors, this group does an admirable job of letting the audience relate back to the original crew.
One thing that might anger some serious trek fans is the way in which time travel was used to alter events in such a way that the future of this crew is not to recreate the events of the original Star Trek universe.
This is Star Trek for the 21st Century, and it's off to a great start.
