Review: STAR TREK (2009)





I myself dislike knee-jerk reactions to any thing. But in today's internet, email, blogger-sphere and and message board era, i find myself drawn to peck at an anonymous keyboard from some undisclosed site typing these words:

Star Trek (2009) is AMAZING. There are simply not enough adjectives to describe it. The level of craft taken from pre-production to the hype is well worth it. The franchise is in very good hands, as exemplified with this installment. A big thank you to all those who made this film for giving us what may be the best film. The actors, writers, producers ( i almost never do that), etc... and the Director. You owe it to yourself to see this movie. And if possible See it in IMAX. It is time and money well spent.

Without a doubt it deserves a 5 out of 5 rating!

Last year, The USA held there most historic elections, living up to their deceleration of equality between all men.


Hooray for Obama! Good on you, and i hope you bring your country back from where it was when you got it.

For now im doing a retrospective of those who did not make history in last years campaign. Mainly because most of them you don't know, and because most of the people that have done art of the winner now have a pending lawsuit.
