J Abrams 2009 feature film was billed as not your fathers em Star Trek / em but your father will probably love it anyway And whats not to love It has enough action emotional impact humor and sheer fun for any moviegoer and Trekkers will enjoy plenty of insider references and a cast that seems ideally suited to portray the characters we know theyll become later Both a prequel and a reboot em Star Trek / em introduces us to James T Kirk Chris Pine of em The Princess Diaries 2 / em a sharp but aimless young man whos prodded by a Starfleet captain Christopher Pike Bruce Greenwood to enlist and make a difference At the Academy Kirk runs afoul of a Vulcan commander named Spock Zachary Quinto of em Heroes / em but their conflict has to take a back seat when Starfleet including its new ship the em Enterprise / em has to answer an emergency call from Vulcan What follows is a stirring tale of genocide and revenge launched by a Romulan Eric Bana with a particular interest in Spock and we get to see the familiar crew come together including McCoy Karl Urban Uhura Zoe Saldana Sulu John Cho Chekhov Anton Yelchin and Scottie Simon Pegg The action and visuals make for a spectacular Big-Screen Movie though the plot by Abrams and his writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman who worked together on em Transformers / em and with Abrams on em Alias / em and em Mission Impossible III / em and his producers fellow em Lost / em ies Damon Lindeloff and Bryan Burk can be a bit of a mind-bender no surprise there for em Lost / em fans Hardcore fans with a bone to pick may find faults but resistance is futile when you can watch Kirk take on the em Kobayashi Maru / em scenario or hear McCoy bark Damnit man Im a doctor not a physicist An appearance by Leonard Nimoy and hearing the late Majel Barrett Roddenberry as the voice of the computer simply sweeten the pot Now comes the hard part waiting for some sequels to this terrific prequel em --David Horiuchi / em / r / r / span class h1

THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE DVD MOVIE The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series begins right where The Order of the Phoenix left off The wizarding world is rocked by the news that He Who Must Not Be Named has truly returned and the audience finally knows that Harry is the Chosen One --the only wizard who can defeat Lord Voldemort in the end Dark forces loom around every corner and now regularly attempt to penetrate the protected walls of Hogwarts School This is no longer the fun and fascinating world of magic from the first few books its dark dangerous and scary Harry Daniel Radcliffe suspects Draco Malfoy Tom Felton to be a new Death Eater recruit on a special mission for the Dark Lord In the meantime Professor Dumbledore Michael Gambon seems to have finally removed the shroud of secrecy from Harry about the dark path that lies ahead and instead provides private lessons to get him prepared Its in these intriguing scenes that the dark past of Tom Riddle a k a Voldemort is finally revealed The actors cast as the different young versions of Riddle Hero Fiennes-Tiffin and Frank Dillane do an eerily fantastic job of portraying the villain as a child While the previous movies many new characters could be slightly overwhelming only one new key character is introduced this time Professor Horace Slughorn with a spot-on performance by Jim Broadbent Within his mind he holds a key secret in the battle to defeat the Dark Lord and Harry is tasked by Dumbledore to uncover a memory about Voldemorts darkest weapon--the Horcrux Despite the long list of distractions Harry Ron Rupert Grint and Hermione Emma Watson still try to focus on being teenagers and audiences will enjoy the budding awkward romances All of the actors have developed nicely giving their most convincing performances to date More dramatic and significant things go down in this movie than any of its predecessors and the stakes are higher than ever The creators have been tasked with a practically impossible challenge as fans of the beloved J K Rowling book series desperately want the movies to capture the magic of the books as closely as possible Alas the point at which one accepts that these two mediums are very different is the point at which one can truly enjoy these brilliant adaptations Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is no exception it may be the best film yet For those who have not read the book nail-biting Angels & Demons (Single-Disc Theatrical Edition) Sony Pictures In Ron Howards thrilling follow-up to The Da Vinci Code expert symbologist Robert Langdon Tom Hanks follows ancient clues on a heart-racing hunt through Rome to find the four Cardinals kidnapped by the deadly secret society the Illuminati With the Cardinals lives on the line and the Camerlengo Ewan McGregor desperate for help Langdon embarks on a nonstop action-packed race through sealed crypts dangerous catacombs and the most secretive vault on Earth If the devil is in the details theres a lot of wicked fun in em Angels Demons / em the sequel originally a prequel to em The Da Vinci Code / em Director Ron Howard delivers edge-of-your-pew thrills all over the Vatican the City of Rome and the deepest dankest catacombs Tom Hanks is dependably watchable in his reprised role as Professor Robert Langdon summoned urgently to Rome on a matter of utmost urgency--which happens to coincide with the death of the Pope meaning the Vatican is teeming with cardinals and Rome is teeming with the faithful A religious offshoot group calling themselves the Illuminati which protested the Catholic Churchs prosecution of scientists 400 years ago has resurfaced and is making extreme and gruesome terrorist demands The film zooms around the city as Langdon follows clues embedded in art architecture and the very bone structure of the Vatican The cast is terrific including Ewan McGregor who is memorable as a young prot g of the late pontiff and who seems to challenge the common wisdom of the Conclave just by being 40 years younger than his fellows when he lectures for church reform Stellan Skarsgard is excellent as a gruff commander of the Swiss Guard who may or may not have thrown in with the Illuminati But the real star of the film is Rome and its High Church gorgeousness with lush cinematography by Salvatore Totino who renders the real sky above the Vatican in a cataclysmic event with the detail and majesty of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel -- em A T Hurley / em r / r / span class h1 Stills from em Angels Demons / em click for larger image / / span r border 0

Rise of Cobra is not your grandfathers G I Joe Its more like C G I Joe with explosive special-effects action sequences that provide the film with a surplus of Boom Boom Pow to quote the Black Eyed

the Baroness not to mention killer cleavage-enhancing latex outfits This being the first in a budding franchise there is much backstory to cover Flashbacks date back to 1641 But the order of the day is underground military command centers underwater evil lairs gleaming high-tech weaponry breakneck chases and cool gadgets such as a speed-accelerating hydraulic suit Its enough to make you want to
