Cinematic Adventures!

So, I've seen a couple of movies in the last few weeks and wanted to take the opportunity to talk about them.

First, requires no introduction. STAR TREK. It was fantastic and even my Trekkie mother thought it was awesome. Zachary Quinto was an awesome Spock (although there is a consensus that he never would have said thank you to Ahura) and Chris Pine was a pretty good Kirk (I liked him better than Shatner). Plus, McCoy was dead on and amazing... ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR VULCAN MIND?!?!?!? haha, awesomeness. They've officially given the sequal the green-light and I'm excited about it.

Second, Angels & Demon - meh. It was entertaining, but not very much like the book and there is one Ewan MacGregor scene that is meant to be serious and just comes across as ridiculously funny. I did like Tom Hanks much more without the mullet and Angels & Demons is much more artistically appealling because of all the churches and the papal dressings than The DaVinci Code.

Finally, if you have not seen this movie, you are completely missing out. It's called Taken and it's a Liam Neeson movie that is just so bad ass. Don't read anything about it (not even the summary on the back of the DVD). Just go into it knowing it's a good movie and just let the movie do all the work. I'M NOT KIDDING - GO SEE IT RIGHT NOW!
