First of all, I am a true blue fan of the "other" sci fi hit that deals with the "the force" since birth. So I am forever snobbish when it comes with the Star Trek franchise. I was really bored to death everytime I watch the revival on tv of this cheesy sci fi series during my childhood in the 80's . So when I learned the series is rebooted again on the big screen I am a lil bit apprehensive of watching it. But a change of mind forced me to become interested in trying to watch the new version. Many factored in with my decision to watch this film, First of all, it is directed by "Lost" director JJ Abrams, another is that its the first official big event movie of the summer and lastly there are lots of positive buzz surrounding the release. After a week of asking and forcing Jason to go with me to the theater to no avail, he finally gave in last night. We were like two non trekkies, without any expectations troop the MOA theater to see the world of Star Trek. I am already familiar with the name of the characters of this series but I definitely have no idea with their story. Anyway, the first 15 minutes of the movie really grabbed my attention. At that very moment, I knew that Ill be in great ride for the whole duration of the film. Thank god for Abrams in breathing new life again for the longtime dead series. Fans and non fans alike with no knowledge about Star Trek, I guarantee will definitely enjoy it. A balance mix of action and comedy made appealing to ordinary viewers. The film is peppered with lots of witty and humorous dialogue from the cast which reminds me of the first three Star Wars installment. The choice of actors are extremely good. Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto are superbly suited with the roles that they portray. I definitely had a blast everytime Spock and Kirk have a snappy argument scenes. Eventhough I am only newbie viewer Im still rooting out and supportive with the endeavors of the charming characters in the film. Laden with stunning special effects and fast pace story are thrown in the mix to come up with an amazing film. A sometimes perplexing plot yet so engaging really holds my attention throughout. Every scence really put a smile on my face which not happened for a very long time on my movie goin experience. Forgive me other Jedi fans for what I will say, this Star trek film is much way better than the two Star Wars prequel. I am not a full blown convert yet... I really just appreciate this film. The first best big blockbuster film of 2009. Watching Star Trek is an exhilirating experience indeed.

Wendy and Lucy is one of the few gems I discovered and one of my top favorite films of 2008. The story revolves around a young enemployed woman named Wendy (Michelle Williams) embarking on a long journey by driving a car together with her lovable dog (Lucy) to seek a greener pasture in the state of Alaska . The films conflicts all started during Wendy's brief stopover to a bleak and unfamiliar town. That's where she encounters a domino effect petty disasters that would really affect her whole journey. The major plus of the film is Michelle Williams superb, understated and subtle performance that completely takes my breathe away. I am really in awe with the capacity of this talented woman since her breakthrough role in 2005's Brokeback Mountain. On the level she achieved today as one of the great actresses makes you really forget her involvement with the popular teen drama during the late 90's. Wendy is the most relatable character I've ever seen in years. I can really feel her pain and misery during the entire film. The connection she can make out of her character with the viewers is amazing. Another thing to admire is the realistic execution of indie director Kelly Reichardt. He created a topical film that mirrors the state of the people affected by the recent crisis not only of America but also in around the globe. The film is really meditative and simple yet totally engaging. I feel really immersed from the glut of recent viewing of commercial films after watching Wendy and Lucy. The sad heartbreaking ending trully lingers on my mind until the credits have rolled.

In the beginning of the film the story leans toward more to an unusual love story between a 15 year old boy Michael (David Kross) and a mature woman Hanna (Kate Winstlet) during the summer of post war Germany. It all started when Hanna seduces the boy on one of his visits tio her apartment. Their dalliances repeated everytime they see other. This is coupled by readings of a book by Michael to Hanna as somehow a foreplay with their intimate encounters. The illicit affair lasted only during the summer. Then the film turns to unexpected dark tone on the latter part. This is due for the fact that after long years, when Michael becomes a law student, they cross paths again during a Nazi trial involving Hanna accused of the deaths of hundred jews.


Breathless/ A bout de Souffle (1960) is a groundbreaking and influential film of french director Jean Luc Godard. The film launched the french new wave movement (nouvelle vague) and movies were never the same again. It became uber famous because of the unconventional way of editing (jump cut) and by using hand held camera at that time. Well that's it..... I think Breathless is a bit overrated. Yes its status of being the pioneer in technical aspects of filmmaking cant be denied. But I am really not blown away nor intrigued by the plot either. There's much more other captivating classic films during this era that's worth of undivided attention.
