Star Trek - After having mixed feelings about this on the big screen (which may have been due to insanely loud audio levels), my friend bought the DVD and wanted to watch it on my system, to which I reluctantly agreed. Just like AvP (which is the only film I ever walked out on in the theater - I almost did for Star Trek, too) this film seems better suited for a smaller screen and is far more enjoyable. I still found the majority of the score to be boring, incomplete and ineffective, and there's far too much contrivity in the writing, and the film didn't seem grand like TMP or TWOK. J.J. doesn't seem to get what makes a film large, and he's giving the visuals way too much space and distance. But...it was really fun to watch. I still hated Uhura the Slut lusting after Spock, I felt the monster on the ice planet was stupid, Chekov's accent was too thick and comical, and Nero is one of the lamest villains in cinema history. I liked the performances for Kirk, Spock and McCoy. As for the others...re-cast the roles. Some things instantly made no sense - e.g. where did old Spock get the wood for a campfire? I saw no trees for miles and miles on that frozen wasteland. Also, the final battle was completely unexciting and anti-climactic. All in all, I think I like this film better than TSFS and TFF, and I'll probably grab it on DVD if I can get it for under $7 - 8
Juno - An odd film with interesting writing, camerawork and female lead. I doubt I'll ever watch it again, but it was pretty cool. The ending is one of the best I've ever seen - 8
Swamp Thing - This movie was more boring and retarded than I remember, and I thought that Adrienne had much bigger breasts... I watched it purely for reasons of nostaligia - 5

Tim (Mel Gibson, Piper Laurie) 7/10. Some stilted performances, some of the narrative was a little amateurish and the music was OTT. But still a nice film.

BLU RAY - ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES- 1971 6/10
I revisited this over the weekend- cheesy fun, dark ending. Eric Braeden steals the show- great character.
BLU RAY- CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES -1972- 5/10
Over the top performance by Don Murray adds to the cheesy fun - I watched the original, more violent version - the one where the apes bash Murray's brains out- not the eventual theatrical issue.
Not great art, but still fun after ALL these years.
