Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Could have been a winner without the rewrites
I don't spend the outrageous amount of money the theaters ask to watch and eat popcorn at a movie and don't care about bragging rights about who seen it first. I sit at home when the DVD/Bluray comes out to watch it in awe of my own home theater and make my undivided review, so here it is; I thought the movie, if it was a first, would be great. The first problem arose when Pike was killed, meaning that history was rewritten to include him in a death that was done many years in Kirks past. Then the introduction of Khan, which was also done in Kirks past. Also the movies radiation episode was also told in Kirk's past but with Spock as the hero and dying. I am so tired of rewrites in movie's, that my 8-10 star ratings go to movies that haven't been written or rewritten and good. The movies sound and effects were outstanding but, the story sucked.
10 Years (2011)
Almost turned it off
I'll make this short. It was boring. Though it was probably close to someone's actual 10 year reunion, I had come so close to stopping it half way through but, we suffered through to the end. There is nothing in this movie to laugh at. Most of this film was watching a group of plain uneventful people looking back on their past. Honestly , the only good part was the song Oscar Isaac belted out. For the life of me, all the actors seemed to be hashing out something they thought was real life. Maybe they should have asked Jamie Linden if this was his 10 year reunion. I know my reunions are not as lifeless as this movie was. I do have to say some of the characters portrayed in this film have some truth, Jamie Linden could have given this film a much needed kick in the ***. I am sure glad I didn't pay to see this and only rented the DVD but, after watching this I don't think it was worth that either. I do apologize for the negativity but, I think the top actors/actresses should have said no to their rolls.
Spartacus: Blood and Sand (2010)
Sorry I even watched this
The previews for this series got my attention but, I was very disappointed. I stuck it out through the whole 13 episodes hoping it would get better, NOT till episode 11. Now that everyone is free, I don't see why they would continue the series just to defeat the Romans. Out of the box in episode 1 it explains this has nothing to do with the actual Spartacus (biggest disappointment). It has way too much nudity, sex and foul language through out the series. The stop animation used is nothing new and didn't improve it any. Special effects, where (cartoon blood)? Acting was fair at modest. This show needs to be axed before season 2 gets underway.
