Trek the reboot
PostedMay 17, 2009
Overall it was an enjoyable film; but it seems like they tried to throw a little bit of everything in there to please every possible segment of the audience. For the most part they succeeded.
They got the Spock and Bones characters nailed; and the Chekov and Scotty weren't far off.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Good guy movie
PostedNovember 29, 2008
This movie has everything real men ask for in a movie--fast cars, fights and a hot chick.
The chick is annoying at first--you hope she gets killed--and she has a face covered by freckles. She has a bad attitude and is completely nuts. The only reason we put up with girls like this is because they're hot and they know it.
There is the added gimmick/plot element of Frank and the chick having explosive bracelets that is pretty cool.
There is a good villain; and Frank breaks a lot of arms and legs. I am looking forward to The Transporter 8. I hope Jason Statham gets typecast like Al Bundy and Superman.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

See it in the theater
PostedOctober 18, 2008
This is a nice and sweet movie; and it is not as hard on "W" as it could have been. There is a lot of bad stuff about "W." A lawsuit is called for if what we see is not an accurate accounting. There are a few yuks. Mostly the joke is on us. I don't think he was a bad president; but I am glad to be able to say I didn't vote for this turkey in retrospect. And, of course I knew there were no WMD in Iraq.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

A swing and a miss!
PostedAugust 25, 2008
Great concept. It could have used a few more rewrites.
The opening sequences were original and hilarious. There are some pretty good chuckles throughout the movie; but they were separated by long periods of Robert Downey, Jr, speaking authentic frontier gibberish .
Ben Stiller plays the same guy in all of his movies. That guy is a guy who cannot act his way out of a paper bag and is not funny; but has two funny and talented parents who are icons in the industry.
I keep hoping for a repeat of Theres Something About Mary and I keep getting disappointed. Oh, I almost forgot about Jack Black. He's no Chris Farley or John Belushi.
