StarTrek

The prequel to all startreks. James Kirk as a boy and then how he becomes the ships captain. Another one of these movies that jumps between time periods. Spock at one point in the movie is a young Commander and the Ole Spock at the same time--confusing?. Good special effects, can't say that I like the new young Kirk much! 2 bananas

The Brothers Bloom

Quirky, sometimes funny, somtimes confusing. Set in the 1920s, two con men set up a sting against a very wealthy young lady played by Rachael Weitz. Beautiful filmed in europe, plot jumps back and forth between countries as you are never really sure who is conning who. Great ending. 21/2 bananas

Terminator Salvation

Non-stop action and terrific special effects makes for a most enjoyable no brainer movie. Sit back and watch Christian Bale as John Conners blow up the bad boy machines. It's 2018 and it's still man against the dreaded Skynet Machine network. 3 bananas

Angels and Demons

The prequel to The DaVinci Code. Tom Hanks as Dr. Langford is summoned to the Vatican to help find 4 kidnapped Cardinals and a bomb. Movie does not do the book justice. Plot and acting performances are only so so. Somewhat entertaining if you can keep up with the convoluted plot. 2 bananas

Merry Gentleman

Engrossing, well acted, some what slow story of a despondent hitman(Michael Keaton), an abused runaway wife and a policeman who all become intertwined when Kelly McDonald(abused wife) interrupts Keatons suicide attempt. 3 bananas

Is Anyone There

Delightful, funny and sometimes a bit sad is the story of Michael Caine, a retired Magician, moving into a senior citizens home that has a wacky group of inhabitants. The homes' owners 12 year old son befriends Caine and the two of them create all kinds of trouble but in the process help each other to find what they both were missing--friendship. A must see. 4 bananas

X-Men Origins:Wolverine

Well now we know how Wolverine got his name and super power. Nifty, fun movie with terrific special effects. Prequel to the X-Men series pits Wolverine against his brother and the Government higher ups who redesigned him. See it for great entertainment! 3 bananas
