The weekend was pretty hectic. Helped out at a Youth Camp on Saturday and Sunday morning. Rushed back to Pee Jay for Star Trek (picked up some Baskin Robbins along the way too) and celebrated my aunt's 70th birthday with my cousins.
Now back to the real purpose of this post. For the first time in a long time I watched 2 movies twice. Caught Terminator: Salvation on Thursday and Friday last week; Star Trek during its opening week and one more time yesterday with my cell members.
Star Trek was so much more AWESOME the 2nd time round and yes Zachary Quinto is great as Spock. Funnily enough in both movies I've found that I liked the supporting characters more. Sure, one might argue that Spock is a central character in his own right but technically Kirk is the hero of Star Trek as is the case in most stories. Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright is a favourite of mine too as opposed to Christian Bale's John Connor in Terminator: Salvation. Supporting characters play a great part in a movie and it's rare these days that the strength of a movie can be placed on just one character. Point to note: one doesn't always have to be the main character to be great in a movie.
Ah life is good in movie land this summer. Star Trek & Terminator: Salvation were both great and I "wonder" just what's Up next?
