Dinner For Schmucks

I really had low expectations for this one, I was sure that a dinner where you bring your candidate for worst loser sounded like a horrible idea and a horrible premise for a movie. Several of the characters in the movie felt the same way.

But you know sometimes in the opening moments of a movie that you've stumbled on something with promise, like the opening of Ghostbusters. The music of this was from the beginning, funny, or promised to be and it delivered.

I was surprised, there was a lot of story before the dinner and it was not just bearable, it was down right charming. But the dinner just promised to be a train wreck and the set up is part of the comedy genius of this flick.

This was a great comedy! Thinking people will enjoy the life lessons, the rest of us will just laugh at it!

Star Trek - 2009 on DVD

We got our copy of Star Trek on DVD this week and it's just great! I've played it several times through, it's been company in the background while I work. It's just got so many layers to the story that it's worth seeing or hearing again and again. For me, it just doesn't get old.

I really never cared for the original hokey episodes of Star Trek and those movies weren't all that good, but this new encarnation is so well done, that I'm officialy a fan of this new franchise.
