A Sunday Two-Play

This Sunday myself and quite a few others made a trek to the Starlite Drive-In. And while this was no Reo Drive-In, it was a pretty good trip to the drive-in. The two movies showing were Night At The Museum 2 and Star Trek.

Now I had seen the first Night At The Museum and was not too impressed to be honest. Ben Stiller wa
s good but overall it just wasn't that great. The second edition however was much, much better. A better cast and storyline made this movie an overall good view. I won't spoil the movie sinc
e it came out recently and maybe someone reading thi
s will see the movie. I would recommend it if you were going to the drive-in, a toss-up in theater, and a definite rent when out.


The other movie was Star Trek. By no means would I consider myself a Trekkie. In fact, I've never seen any of the previous movies or shows. And I'm not a huge sci-fi guy in general. I was lost for a good bit of the movie. That did change towards the end where a lot of things were explained, other things continued to fly over my head however. Baylor did his best to inform us what was going on but to be honest our cuddle group was a little more concerned about being warm as it had gotten quite cold outside. With cuddling aside, the movie was excellent in special effects and I have no doubt that Star Trek fans were happy with the result. I however found it to be just another action movie that was sci-fi which isn't my forte. So I would recommend this movie to Star Trek fans and anyone else who enjoys a good action flick. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone who likes to know what is going on during a movie because you will end up being obnoxious and trying to figure out what's going on.

So there's my best Ebert and Roeper attempt. Take it and leave it as you please. The only thing I think you should do: see a movie at a drive-in. It's the best.
