Personally Chekov was my favourite. That kid is amazing.

But anyway, Scotty was always kind of over-zealous in the original series, so I thought Pegg did a good job. The real problem is that Scotty is supposed to blend into the background, and Kirk and Spock were the main roles. I think what Pegg did, was be so good that he stole every scene he was in and thus became a little out of character.

A Perfect Getaway.

I really enjoyed this movie as I give it a 8 out of 10.

I really like Pegg in Star Trek as well, the only thing I didn't like was that stupid little creature they insisted on putting in the movie.

The Baron of Arizona (1950)

Lucked out this afternoon and managed to catch this on TCM. Been wanting to see it ever since I first heard about it (Vincent Price as a con-artist trying to steal the entire territory of Arizona? Sold!), but couldn't find a copy. Well now that I've seen it, I wasn't let down at all. Just an all-around great movie, with one of Price's best performances. Supporting cast is really strong too - the lovely Ellen Drew plays Price's "Baroness", and Reed Hadley (who also appeared with Price in Shock and Leave Her To Heaven) lights up the screen as a fraud investigator dying to bring down "the Baron of Arizona".

This is also my first exposure to Samuel Fuller, but it wont be my last - his script and direction had me completely engaged right from the opening scene.

Rarely does Price play this kind of character...to go into what makes it such a great performance would spoil aspects of the plot, but suffice to say he goes far beyond his typical villainous role. I think you all know how huge a fan of Price I am, and I'd put this right up with his best work. A must see for all fans of Price, of a good swindle, or of American history (based on a true story!).


Avatar (2009)

Second viewing in theatres...just as amazing as the first.

Inside

Disturbing.....but not as bad as I thought it would be.I actually thought Cannibal Holocaust was worse.

Subtterano

Am Australian sci fi flick that is not to bad if a little cheesy at times. It's about a virtual reality game that some people get trapped in and hunted down.

6.5/10

500 Days Of Summer.....chick flik....not horrible

Daybreakers

Not really a horror flick like I expected but I really enjoyed it. The story was interesting and well written, the social commentary was layered and handled very well, and the action was pretty damn good. It was a bit predictable and some of the effects were less than stellar but I really enjoyed this well paced action drama. My buddy said it almost could have been a cop drama.

Such a cute quirky film - highlights being Screaming Jay Hawkins, a drug Joe Strummer and the revelation that Carl Perkins is indeed the best...

You didn't like Hot Fuzz? Then again, he played the straight man, so different from his role in Shaun of the Dead. I agree with you, though. I'm confused and disappointed as to why he has done really poor movies since Shaun of the Dead. As for Star Trek, I'm with the Penguin; I'm not really a Trekkie and I thought that he was absolutely great. He definitely DOES stick out there, amongst the up-and-comers and Nemoy (sort of like a sore thumb).





Noted. I'll check it out. :cool:

Gratuitous? Yes.

Offensive? Absolutely.

Enjoyable? Yup!

Nothing but ridiculous action-packed eye candy. But it was definitely a fun ride.

3/5.
