Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen

We can all agree that the first Transformers movie was something pretty special.  But lets face it, it’s always pretty tough for a sequel to beat the original (just think of Terminator, Back to the Future, Matrix).

However I was pleasantly surprised, it was as good as a sequel could be.

While the first was rated pretty highly by both guys and girls, this part 2 is most definitely for the guys and as there’s plenty of Action, Girls and CGI to boot.  We’ve already heard that Critics hate it, but stuff the critics – this if fun watching.  Enjoy.

The Hangover

Sometimes you just crave a silly, mindless movie to laugh hysterically at.  Well this is the one!  Leave your brain behind and just go with the flow of 4 guys out in Vegas for the best bachelor party ever.

Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms (The Office) and Zach Galifianakis (The bearded on) are fresh and very funny.  For a random comedy you are soon drawn to the characters and will love watching the night (that they can’t remember) unfold.  It’s a 00’s version of ‘Dude Where’s my Car?”, but a zillion time better.

Star Trek 11

Wow, wow, wow!

J.J. Abrams has made Star Trek sexy and cool again.  This movie will not disappoint.  J.J. Abrams takes us back to the beginning and we meet the characters as young, passionate, hopeful and inexperienced.

There is a lot to like about these characters.  They’ve got the actors right, the pace is fast (no boring bits).  The CGI and the gadgets are beyond cool at ‘lust’ phase.

Even if you’ve hated the old Star Trek, you’ll love this new edition because its so fresh.  Like many of you who will go and enjoy, I’m excited and looking forward to more adventures with this young and hot cast.  The new James T Kirk, Chris Pine does the role proud and so does Zachary Quinto as Spock.  Simon Pegg adds zest as ‘Scotty’ while NZ’er Karl Urban does us proud as ‘Bones’.   This film is a big thumbs up!
