STAR TREK

It's also funny how DeForest Kelly was always a skinny guy with a slight stoop, not even a little bit imposing.  On the other hand, the new McCoy could tear the rest of the cast limb from limb like they were a bunch of Uruk-hai.

Well he does have practice at it.

And then there was that time he beat up the Rock.

Yet he couldn't beat Matt Damon

Because it's untrustworthy.  It gave King Kong an 84%, for heaven's sake.

Movie critics are scum.

How dare they give it such a low score!

the top critics - the ones who know something about film - gave it 76%.

which for 8th graders, in case anyone happens to teach them, is a B.

the movie about Donkey Kong (The King of Kong) got 96%.

AND I am still waiting for my 600 word review. since it's been a few years since you have promised us that Tim, it better have some good writing, fresh insight,  serious mythological exploration supported by a thorough bibiliography as well as correct footnote style.

Amazingly this movie is starting to rack up very high scores in the major papers over here.

Rotten Tomatoes has it 94% positive, with 93% of the cream of the crop!

its now 90. if it continues to drop at this rate, we should be in King Kong B territory in about a week.

Audio review on All Things Considered was entirely positive, beyond noting that the plot disappears halfway through the movie (but noting that nobody will miss it, as the rest is just so much fun).
