    First of all, Sean Penn is an AMAZING actor and defintely deserved the academy award that he got for this role! James Franco and the others also do a fantastic job. The story itself is so moving and inspiring and touching. Unfortunately, Hollywood tends to take amazing stories and really screw them up. Not the case here. The movie was very well made. I bought it. I laughed and I cried (literally). This issue in particular is a biggie to me and shed further light on the struggle. It was interesting to see the reaction with Prop 6 in the 70's as compared to Prop 8 which came about last November in the election. Hard to say too much more without delving into anything political. I really could go on about this, but instead, I just recommend (regardless of where you stand on the issues presented) for anyone to see the movie. 10/10 without a doubt
    Thanks for the review. I wanted to see this movie when I saw the trailers. Is it out on DVD yet?

    But the film was Soo good I want to watch the original series now!
    it was a good film but the thing is they made everything in TOS irrelevant, they changed everything, I don't want to give anything away, but they changed everything... it doesn't matter if you watch TOS or not... though it is really good and you should definitely watch it but not because of the new movie...

    But, I am a really big feminist, so a lot of the movie annoyed me excessively.

    So, I would give it a 7, mainly for the humour and ending
    I have to agree, I thought this movie was hysterical. I really was surprised by the ending and a little disappointed with myself for stereotyping. It proves how the fifties mentality of a blissful home has a housewife still has some sort of validity today. At least there is still a little nostalgia.

    This was a good movie. It won an academy award, but can't remember for what. Sean Penn is memorable.

    The Good The Bad and The Ugly - 10/10 - I can't believe I have never seen this movie until yesterday. I've always kind of shyed away from westerns for whatever reason, I just really usually can't get into this one. But this movie is just perfection. It's so much better than I expected. And to think for so long i saw this as a movie I could "do without" for the simple fact it was a western and looked kinda stupid.

    Up - 10/10 - Everything Pixar touches turns to Gold. Gold for Oscar.

    Los Abrazos rotos - Pedro Almodovar

    A terribly disappointing film. It could have been a decent effort but Almodovar tries to tie up all the loose ends, dragging out the ending for at least 30 minutes too much to reveal pointless and/or obvious twists.

    Looking For Eric - Ken Loach

    Ok, it's definitely not Loach's best film, it's a bit on the lighter side but everything it sets out to do, Looking For Eric achieves. I spent a good time in the theatre and there was genuine laughter from beginning to end. The acting is spot on, and Cantona is hilarious without stealing the show.

    Summer With Monika - Ingmar Bergman

    A bleak love story from the beginning of Bergman's career. The two main actors, Harriet Andersson and Lars Ekborg who portray a young teenage couple who run away to spend the Summer together are brilliant and both frequently appeared in his later films. The film is centred on their relationship and follows the ups and downs. There are a few promising shots that show glimpses of Bergman's genius.

    STAR TREK 9/10... even though it has a lot of "suspend your disbelief" moments and completely shaky physics, I really enjoyed it, and I was never a fan of Star Trek. It was funny, philosophical, and entertaining.

    Antichrist - Lars Von Trier

    This film isn't for everyone, it's gruesome and opressing, but if you can stomach that and are openminded check this out. I'm not saying it's a masterpiece, though it's beautifully filmed and the acting from both Gainsbourg and Dafoe is excellent, but it's full of questions.

    Star Trek 1 to 10- 8 I thought it was great! Not a huge Sci-Fi fan, but definitely was in this case. I think most people would like it.

    Death Note/Death Note 2

    i thought these films were great fun and they had a kind of deeper message too, about how killing criminals makes you as bad as the criminals themselves, and all life is precious, etc. the acting was a bit polarised though. Tatsuya Fujiwara (battle royale) as Light Yagami was fantastic as always, and so were many of the other young actors, especially Ken'ichi Matsuyama as L. However, there were a couple of truly dreadful performances, namely Erika Toda as Misa Amane. Still, if you fancy a fun film that doesn't overdo it on the moral message, with a couple of very clever twists, Death Note and Death Note 2 are for you you can also get the film in subs or dubbed, so the language doesn't have to be a barrier.

    The Reader. I saw the movie and then downloaded the book, which I've just read. I've been thinking about it so much it's hard to talk about, I wouldn't know where to start.

    The Blob - Irvin S. Yeaworth

    Very cheesy 1950's sci-fi flick starring a young Steve McQueen. Two teenagers see a comet land and when they go to check out what happenend they fins an old man with a blob on his hand... Corny and fun.

    Land and Freedom - Ken Loach

    One of Loach's best films, very similar in theme to The Wind the Shakes the Barley but takes place during the spanish civil war and shows the angst between the communist party and independent groups.

    I Love You, Man

    It had its moments, but it could've been better.

    What can I say? I was thoroughly entertained.

    knowing ---> uber-crap. two boring hours. the writers must die in a plane crash. they deserve it.
    the main idea with the books is that there are too many not worthy to be read.
