REVIEW UPDATE: Russell Crowe Week # 2 and STAR TREK....

Evening, all...

Hope everyone is doing well and reveling in the coming of Christmas. It truly is a wonderful time of the year.

At any rate, please note a couple of changes:

1. I've pulled MASTER AND COMMANDER from last week's schedule to save it for another Russell Crowe Week later on. And I pulled TOMORROW NEVER DIES from this week's schedule to take its place.

2. To replace TOMORROW NEVER DIES's spot this week, please expect Jeffrey Abram's excellent STAR TREK to take its place...

Below is STAR TREK's trailer. It's the best trailer I've ever seen. Ever. My # 1 Favorite Trailer of All Time. Perfectly scored, perfectly cut, perfectly told. Terrific preview that promises a soaring adventure. That awesome music has a lot to do with the dynamic effect. And I'm not even a Trekkie.

It's exactly the kind of trailer and music I would want for THE ITALIAN STRIKER's trailer if it ever gets turned into a movie, only instead of space crews, starship battles, and aliens, we'll have epic World Cup soccer battles, a wily and swaggering Italian-American striker, a legendary British team captain, and the passionate photojournalist caught between them.

We can only hope, right?



Have a great rest of the week, folks. Please expect the reviews for STAR TREK, LARRY CROWNE, MIAMI VICE, and ON THE EDGE to post by Sunday...

Buona serrata...
