STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS
The movie is kick-ass fun, the script was so well written by Roberto Orci, who jam packs this espionage action film with so many of Gene Roddenberry's classic lines that alone will make Trekkie fans squeal with delight. J.J. Abrams directs the film with such relish that one is transported into this world of the Star Ship mission and the iconic crewmembers at the helm of this ongoing franchise.
The two things that may slightly disappoint die hard fans is that the film is a retelling of an already done story but it has so many twists and bends in the plot it's far from a remake but more of a device to establish future plot lines in what I personally hope is a long ongoing adventure for many years to come. The other thing (and mostly likely won't bother anyone except me) was the extremely over use of light flares on the film. True, light flares make scenes look more beautiful and hypnotic but like cross fades a little of both goes a long way. I'm just one of those film people who notices stuff like that so most likely the flares won't be an issue for anyone because Star Trek Into Darkness sheds light of how much more is to come as we begin our five year mission into the darkness of deep space and the crew of the Enterprise. Go out and see it in 3-D for the effects are terrific. If only I'd be able to transport Bones, the doctor on board the mighty vessel to tend to me, but fans of the series or even new to the phenomenon that is Star Trek should beam themselves into seeing Star Trek Into Darkness for this ship really sails.

THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES
Gosling plays Luke, a side show caged motorcyclist, down on his luck and in need to turn his life around. He tries to do this by his want and need to assist in the care for his young son spawned from a fling with a groupie Romina (Eva Mendes). The fact that Romina was pregnant and gave birth to Luke's child was withheld from him until his circus passes again Romina's way. A nuclear happy family does not this coupling make for Romina lives with her mother and her now present boyfriend in his home sending Luke furthermore into his destined abyss of a life. Luke falls prey to the rush of robbing banks to the point of self destruction of which finally sets his course to cross paths with Avery (Bradley Cooper) a rookie cop with wide eyed ideals in a department of corruption. Now, one would think this would be enough storyline to fill any movie but this is only the first third of Cianfrance's script, who along with fellow writers Ben Coccio and Darius Marder lead us further and farther down into the dark woods of society. The Place Beyond the Pines is like a relay race of a movie, the storyline following a runner for a while and then suddenly handing off the baton to the next set of characters in an ever twisting storyline of originality and ingenuity much like Hitchcock did with Psycho, keeping the viewer never knowing who the story will follow next. The trouble though is that in a relay race the runners run and in The Place Beyond the Pines the characters must not have heard the starting pistol go off for the story crawls along at a snails pace in what seemed a long 2h 20min running time. There are many reasons to go into these woods though, from the incredibly beefed up and shirtless Gosling as he walks though the fairgrounds in one continuous shot, channeling Orson Welles along the way but the pace of this trip into the forest is just a bit too slow leaving the viewer just victims lost in the dark woods.
