With the informal kick-off of summer we started ours off with an official visit to the Sunshine Drive-In to catch up on some commercial cinema. First up, Star Trek. This "prequel" mega-movie seems to strike the right balance between satisfying hardcore fans and creating enough dark Batman-like moodiness to attract a new audience. Everyone turns up on cue and young Spock even gets to pontificate with his older, future self (played by the original Spock, Leonard Nimoy, with a set of dentures you can't take your eyes off of). Large, loud and digitally enhanced, we found a lot of the action/fight scenes blurry and unfocused. But when Uhuru is such a hottie who cares! Ah-woo-woo-woo!!
As for the 2nd feature, "I Love You Man" pity poor Paul Rudd! A talented guy who has been in many a Rogen/Aptow production, he is finally given a chance to star in this sad comedy about a heterosexual man with no male friends. A good cast is lost in this pathetic chick-flick disguised as a buddy movie. Avoid at all costs!!
