Movie Reviews

This past week I had the chance to see two movies that had come out on DVD. the first one was UP if you haven't seen this show I recommend it as its great for the kids but also great for us adults as well. Ewwwwww did I just consider myself an adult? Ok its great for Kids and you adults out there to

.
this movie was fun to watch , it had excitement adventure Romance and even intrigue. I wont give it all away but it starts out with a young boy that follows his adventurous hero and through the years finds himself the a better adventure of his life. he turns to an old man who is devoted to his wife and they share a common connection as she also had the same hero as the her husband . The couple grow old together working on a there goal to get to the area where there hero is. After his wife passes away with out ever making it to that place her husband finds its necessary to get underway and full fill he and his wife's dream. this movie was also a tear jerk er for me. The husband and wife were truly a team and he made sure that her dreams were met with everything in his power. I recommend this move. Two thumbs up.



For the next movie and have to say its truly a movie that I fell in love with. I am a big fan of this franchise and I think I know quite about about it because I grew up with it I am talking about Star Trek. The brand new Star Trek movie has now come out on DVD This movie is very different from all the others that have been shown. The show is to depict Captain Kirk and Mr Spock in their academy days and the starting of there adventures. I have known the story since I was a kid. My first model I made was out of cardboard and tape. So the first thing I noticed about this move was that the ship itself was not right. then there was this thing with Spock and Uhura and they were in love and kissing on the ship and I was thinking what the heck is going on here. then as the show progressed it was reviled that this was an alternate reality. A huge Romulan ship comes back in time and changes everything. The reason they did this is because, well lets face it. Star Trek is 40 + years old. Things were starting to get old. Stories were not as good as they used to be. The movies that were coming out were good but they were losing ground. In order for Star Trek to survive there needed to be a reboot, a fresh restart. Now what ever they do, what ever story they put out its going to be ok. Its an alternate reality, plus its Star Trek, you can do anything in the Star Trek universe.

So these are the movies I watched this week. Thank you to my sister Ann for letting me borrow UP and most thank you to my wife for getting me the Star Trek movies. thank you dear, love you.
