With Starfleet refusing to let the Enterprise voyage into deep space, all that is left is a Star Trek Into Darkness. Meaning? J.J. Abrams and his creative team continue to tweak characters and situations, at points nearly copying scenes from Wrath of Khan line for line. Fanboys will understand the in-joke. Newbies will understand the all-new dramatic climax of this film, even it the ultimate resolution needs explanation. Fans of all stripes take heed: This is not your childhood Trek.This Universe begins with 2009's Star Trek plus what ever teases are allowed in via the presence of an exiled Spock from an alternative Universe. Take a deep breath. Buy the biggest tub of popcorn you can afford.. Ignore the occasional continuity glitches and just have a good time. Whichever team carries on once J.J. Abrams goes off to run Star Wars now has a lot of clean characters to play with, all carrying with much less continuity baggage.

geat gatsby

The Great Gatsby stars Leonardo DiCaprio and other stars . . .really??, does it matter??   <vbg> It's been so long since we read the book, we don't have to worry about comparing to Source Material. Good or Bad, no review can kill the notion of "classic book" and Leo in it. That being said, it's a good sit. Cranky's movie review

iron man 3

Iron Man 3 picks up where The Avengers left off. Tony Stark's ego is in tatters, after hanging with literal gods on earth. Life with partner Pepper Potts is good until a figure from the past returns to make life rather unpleasant for Stark & Co. Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow return to the lead roles and, oh yeah, Ben Kingsley plays villain The Mandarin. How that character is brought into the 21st century is ... interesting. Cranky's movie review

Love Is All  You Need

Love Is All You Need stars Pierce Brosnan and Trine Dyrholm in an adult romance that we saw on Monday and forgot about on Tuesday. It's an average romance pairing a widower (Brosnan) with a cancer stricken woman who probably wishes she were widowed -- her husband dumped her for a younger woman while she was in the middle of chemotherapy. The idea reads better than it plays. Rent

42

42, telling the Jackie Robinson story which kidlets should learn in American History classes is, well, a story you should know. Period. Cranky's movie review

The Sapphires

Seen and enjoyed is The Sapphires, in which four sisters from Down Under team as a singing group that entertains American GI's in Vietnam. An alcoholic manager swaps out the plain Jane leader for a better looking sister and this "based on a true story"  makes a family drama all the more interesting. See it.

Incredible Burt Wonderstone

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone stars Steve Carrell and Steve Buscemi as past-their-prime Vegas magicians with Jim Carrey as the new star in town, stealing every scene he's in. Alan Arkin and Olivia Wilde get screen time and all of 'em put together don't serve up anything interesting to watch. Cranky's movie review

Oz the Great and Powerful

Oz the Great and Powerful, from Spider-Man director Sam Raimi and star James Franco, is colorful and has amazing 3D. Aside from keeping your littlest kidlets occupied for two hours, it isn't any kind of a film that you're going to look forward to watching over and over again on the DVD release -- which will come faster than you think.

The film is awful. You'll walk in thinking "how bad could it be?" and you'll walk out knowing I told you the truth. Those with little kidlets, who may like the pretty pictures, can download wallpapers

Admission

Admission stars Tina Fey and Paul Rudd. Does it say much when a publicist says she got more laughs out of our review than in the whole film? Said film is about college admissions and love. Said film is dull. Cranky's movie review

Mud

Mud stars Matthew McConaughey as an accused murderer on the run, hiding on an island in the middle of the Mississippi river. There he is found and befriended by two boys, each around ten years old. That's about it, folks. The film had major buzz behind it, coming out of the earlier film festivals and . . . well . . . you know what we've written about the ravers that come out of the festivals. That'd be the films are beyond boring. So is Mud. Pass it by.

Jack the Giant Slayer

Jack the Giant Slayer, in glorious 3D, is based on the fable that once was standard storytelling material for little kids has lots of killing with very little bloodshed -- meaning it is perfectly fine for the little ones sitting up front while the parental units enjoy the film from the back row.(3D/2D theaters and IMAX 3D) Cranky's movie review
