Detropia (2012)
Ruin Porn
May contain spoilers: It has some interesting images,anecdotes and stories but for the most part it is nothing but ruin porn. I didn't hate the movie but it really did not go too far in depth about the complex nature of the cities decline. These things include racial tensions, mismanagement, population declines, real estate practices, recessions,public schools, politics, crime and outsourcing. I know they covered some of these things but they barely scratched the surface on many of these issues. I think if you really would like to know some of these issues in a more intimate matter than your better off researching it and watching a show like The Wire. I think that show does a great job of examining many issues that the big cities face and to a lesser extent many cities.
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
The Re-Wrath of Khan
May contain Spoilers: I really didn't mind the 2009 version as much as some people did but I am not a Trekkie . The one thing that bothered me about the 2009 re-boot was future Spock and yes he appears again for whatever reason in this film as well. The Original Wrath of Khan is probably the best of all the Star Trek films and they decided to rip it off and in a bad way with slight twists and differences although not creative ones. Kirk and Spock are friends and have respect for each other, they are not supposed to want to have sex with each other or something. The Positive: Zoey Salandana, if the movie is going to suck then let me see more of her at least. Conclusion: It was a mildly entertaining, box office budget, mind numbing experience. We get about 10 of these movies every summer now.
