French romantic comedy
9 December 2013
This is a French romantic comedy, I enjoyed watching it but it also has some problems. The good parts: The best part about the movie is the nice set design and the costumes. It's great to see a movie that is not set in a contemporary US city like most other comedy movies. I liked the female lead actor.

What I didn't like: The two actors don't seem to have real chemistry. Both main leads are supposed to have certain features. She is supposed to be a klutz, he is supposed to appear a bit mean but should be a good man on the inside. This characteristics are used to explain why they act the way they do. Unfortunately the director spends about one and a half minute on these characteristics and that's it.

Star Trek (2009)
5/10
Nice fast-paced action movie - but not Star Trek
26 August 2009
This movie is an acceptable action Sci-Fi flick, good to watch but soon to be forgotten. Thus it is a lot better than the last Star Trek movies.

However, be warned that is is not Star Trek.

My boyfriend called it a zombie movie. Everything looks quite good if you give it only a short look, the costumes are nice and stylish, the acting is fine, the design of the Enterprise is very good and the special effects are entertaining. What is missing is the soul - like a zombie who still looks and speaks like the person he once was, but has lost its soul. That what made him himself is missing, it's a hull filled with something else. In this case it is filled with the fast-paced plot. Very easy to understand for people who don't watch Sci-Fi on television, fast-paced so that even people with a low attention span can enjoy it, but all in all a bit brain dead.

There is nothing of the utopian Federation world the series featured in the past, nothing of the deep humanism I came to love.
