Summary: Not So Bad, Actually
Review: All right. I know practically no one likes this movie, but . . . I don't think it was that terrible. I know some parts of it were almost forced (Sybok was really over-done, and Scotty/Uhura? Ack.), but I really loved the acting of the major characters, McCoy in particular (especially the scene with his father). William Shatner may not get the best praise from the classic Trek supporting cast, but I liked his directing job. Overall, I can't say the movie was spectacular, but it made me laugh a lot. And it was better than some of the other movies as well (::cough-cough:: Insurrection ::cough-cough::). I really don't see why people hate this film so much. I think that the quest for God was an admirable endeavor on Shatner's part, and though I can see why that would make some people uneasy, I think it turned out great. Taking into account the limited budget allotted to make Star Trek V, the film was better than what you'd expect it to be.

Summary: A Sign Of The (Cinema) Times
Review: Don't you just LOVE the way EVERY mid-1980s film featured an MTV music-video interlude, absolutely regardless of whether it was appropriate -- and even if it had no place at all in the flick, as happened with this one? Heck, if they had filmed "Pearl Harbor" in 1985, it would have had a music video concoction of some sort.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is an under-rated film. Better then all the TNG movies
Review: Given the very cheap look and budgets that the Rick berman Star Trek movies have had, it's amazing that Paramount has not already pulled the plug on the freature movies when it seems that they have still so much to tell. The era of the TOS movies have seen the fair share of comparsions to how Harve Bennet, Ralph Winter, Nick Meyer, and the various production teams that they worked with, starting with Star Trek III and continueing to Star Trek VI, how they approached each movie and how they pulled it off given the budgets and time that they were allowed for. These new special DVDs have been very informative in how the movies were made, and showed what happened with they were treated as films (and not big budget TV episodes that Berman has foolishly done). Case in point is Star Trek V. An actually pretty good movie that made some valid points about friendship and loyality. In that way, it had more substance to it then most other big budget sci-fi movies had to offer (or not.) This movie was certainly better then Generations, First Contact, and Inserection. And I still stand by that.

Summary: That Was Then This Is Now
Review: I can't explain why the reviews for Star Trek keep coming up, but this a movie based on an S.E. Hinton novel. A very good novel that I'm afraid wasn't adapted well to the big screen. The parts of the book that were followed were good, but there was entirely way too much foul language that was NOT in the novel, plus I was disappointed that the music and setting were strictly 80's. The book took place in late 60's early 70's. If you've never read the novel, you'll be mislead. If you've read the novel???? Well, Emilio Estevez is in it. That helps.

Summary: M+M lover
Review: I read the book in 7th grade after I had to read "The Outsiders", and I thought it was just great, but I could never find the movie to rent, my "Video Watch" had it, and then it turned into "Hollywood Video", and they didn't carry it anymore, I was very upset. Then finally after waiting awhile, I went to another video store and rented it from "Video Update", and I loved it to death, I kept going back to rent it. I think that it's filled with romance/comedy/ and friendship. Mark and Bryon and Cathy and Terry T rule! I've seen it at least 15 times by now, and I became addicted to M+M's....M+M is the cutest :D so go out and rent it, and just see what i'm talkin about people! Peace out--- M+M #2

Summary: This movie is great!
Review: I rented this movie out of curiousity one day and thought it was great. It deals with many issues that face teens and the ending will leave you thinking.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Gritty coming-of-age drama...
Review: If you are familiar with poverty, isolation and loneliness you'll relate to this film, which deals with such issues as dealing with family, peer pressure and growing past one's friends and surroundings. Watch for Morgan Freeman in a few scenes, his role as bar owner Charlie Woods revealing a certain depth and intensity.

Unfortunately Emilio Estevez's irritating presence makes every scene he is in well nigh unwatchable. And the script seems uneven, stalling every time he and his co-star had time alone on the screen. I grew tired of watching these two hang out, waiting for something to happen. Frankly the book was better...
