Glad I wasn’t the only one having V flashbacks. 😉
Same here!
I never got the impression Sybok was nuts, just deluded and misled.
And yeah, the outfit they went to for the FX should never have been allowed near a Trek movie. Can’t recall if ILM was swamped or Paramount didn’t want to pony up.
Thankfully, TM2YC’s edit is well on it’s way to salvaging the movie. His new FX shots have impressed me.
Where can I find these FX shots, if I may be so bold?
Swiss Army Man (2016) 6/10
^ Good stuff, I’ll join you!
Re-watching “Star Trek V” and this film seems to be the first of the Star Trek movies where the villain has no motivation for his actions. The script seems to completely omit any exposition that explains that Sybok had been driven to his madness by repeated telepathic contacts since childhood from the God imposter. The shoehorned jokes are so cringe worthy. The effects are just horrible and cheap looking. Was that the same effects team that worked on “Superman IV”? 😉
Is Alfre Woodard playing the same character she had in CA:CW?
Hey, I have four songs from that album! And Imma gonna go listen to them right now.
What four songs are they?
The Fifth Estate (2013) 4/10
Good subject, good acting, terrible film making.
Album 5/10
This solo record by Paul Simon was recorded just a few months before Simon and Garfunkel would become a household name with the 45 rpm single releases of the re-produced version of “Sounds of Silence”. At the time (1965), this record was only released in the U.K. and later deleted in 1969 by the direct request of Paul Simon himself. I have to agree with Paul’s request. This could be considered nothing more then a novelty demo recording for some great future Simon and Garfunkel tunes. Simon’s voice often drifts out of tune and cracks in cringe inducing ways, while his guitar playing is very far from the standards we would come to expect. The song writing and studio version of “A Church Is Burning” (CD bonus track) are the only things that redeem this album.
What did you think of it?
Album - 7/10
The non-Simon compositions (the staple Dylan (and copy cat) folk songs of the time) were kind of bland and the only ones that stand out are “He Was My Brother” (written by Paul Kane) and “Peggy-O” (Traditional arr by. Paul Simon). The Simon songs on the other hand, while too few, are amazing. The simple tunes “Little Sparrow” and “Bleaker Street” are two of my favorite songs from the entire Paul Simon catalog. While “Sounds of Silence” is an amazing song as well, I tend to prefer the overdubbed Tom Wilson produced version made with The Wrecking Crew a year later in 1965.
I liked the score for “The Incredible Hulk” a lot. Liked it so much I got the limited 2-disc edition. Only soundtrack I own from the Marvel films. The rest seem to work well in the films. I never had to stop and think how the music did not fit the movie in the same way “Star Trek IV” had done to me.
