Free Enterprise

Pros: Humor, Camp

Cons: Unbelievability, Condescending

Review: I wouldn't call Free Enterprise high art, but I'm going to give it a 5 anyway. Its, kind of a geek fantasy movie. Two long time fanboys meet William Shatner only to discover that he is an absolute doofus. They're worlds are shattered. Its easily...

Pros: The Artist Formerly Known As Shatner

Cons: "She Stole the Enterprise!"

Review: Hey, I absolutely loved this film - it appeals to me and my sense of humor (which is categorized as 'bad' by most people). It's a (although I hate using the word) hip, hilarious and wonderful comedy about the world of two avid Star Trek fanatics and...

Pros: very funny, great script, great cast

Cons: a little slow at times

Review: Captain James Tiberius Kirk. A leader of men. A ladies' man. To Mark and Robert, he's been more. He's been an inspiration, a hero, a guide, a father figure, the list goes on and on. Now, upon the nearing of Mark's 30th birthday, they actually run...

Pros: Original Series Trek fans will delight in this intergalactic romp

Cons: None if you're a Trek Fan. Plenty if you're not.

The Bottom Line: For the true die-hard Trekker(ie) and/or Sci Fi fans. But even if you're not, you'll find something to appreciate in this entertaining flick.

Review: Let's make this simple and quick.

If you're not a Trek fan or a Sci Fi fan, this movie will likely disappoint you. It's well acted and humorous, but quite frankly if you don't enjoy or even understand the context of the humor, then you're...

Pros: Hilariously funny as well entertaining especially for those of us trek-geeks :)

Cons: Not high on the film classics list.

The Bottom Line: Laughter packed cheese in a can ...if you can't laugh at this one then you have broken your funny bone!

Review: I caught this one late one night by accident and I have to say that I am glad I am a night owl. I have to say that even though the plot is not the best and the characters and storyline are extremely cheesy I about fell off the couch laughing. It...

Pros: Funny, filled with great references, great performance by Shatner

Cons: The plot is secondary to the pop culture

Review: I must admit that I was worried about Free Enterprise when I rented it. The back-cover blurb invoked, Clerks, which immediately put me on the alert for a Kevin Smith wannabe movie. And there are some similarities. The movie, like mosts of Smith's work,...

Pros: Funny, relevant to certain social groups, unique

Cons: Obscure references to science fiction and comic books

Review: Not many people have heard of this movie, except perhaps die-hard fans of Star Trek: The Original Series and/or William Shatner. There's a lot more to this movie, however, than obscure Star Trek references and stuff about Shatner, although those aspects...

Pros: A ton of pop culture allusions, good acting by England and McCormack

Cons: shady editing, a bit preachy at times. Shatner is Shatner (need I say more?)

The Bottom Line: Fun for SF and pop culture fans - don't be fooled by Shatner's name on the credits.

Review: I am not sure whether it's a mark of being out of touch or one of having a life that caused me not to have heard of this grade-B comedy featuring (but definitely not starring), William Shatner. An alert reader of my previous reviews recommended it to...

Pros: Sci-Fi references, believable, clever satire

Cons: Confusing for non-scifi watchers, drags at times

The Bottom Line: Sci-Fi finatics will cherish Free Enterprise, others will miss half the fun...

Review: The independent film, Free Enterprise, was sold as a movie about two film makes who meet their idol, William Shatner of Captain Kirk fame, and are shocked when he is not who they expect him to be. The fact that this is a film about the reality of movies...

Pros: Funny if you're an SF fan, or married to one

Cons: Scrambled story, overlong

Review: Yes, it's pretty funny if you're a Science Fiction fan. The DVD special edition is excellent, and the movie's cinematography and production values look way beyond its indie budget.

I have to mention a few negatives, though. Firstly, it's...
