I resaw The Princess Bride (1987) which I quite like, but I don't rate it as highly as IMDB. I've seen it twice and both times noticed that some of the dialogue is muffled making it difficult to hear what was being said - main culprits being Andre the Giant as Fezzik and Mandy Patinkin as Inigo Montoya.

 

The film was filmed mainly in England which would explain the presence of cameo roles from Mel Smith and Peter Cook.

I saw X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) which was in essence a revenge movie with lots of CGI effects.

 

Right at the end of the credits was an extra scene where Wolverine is drinking at a bar in Japan. When the bartender asks if he is drinking to forget, he replies that he is drinking to remember.

 

There is an alternative post credits scene where the final ultimate fighter Weapon XI having been decapitated is seen in the rubble stretching out his hand to retrieve his head.

 

Both post credits scenes are supposed to herald 2 separate future films.

I saw Star Trek (2009) last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors who played the younger versions of Kirk, Spock and Bones were very convincing. Simon Pegg as Scotty was a delight. The actors who played the younger versions of Uhura and Sulu were reasonably good, but the actor who played Chekov did not convince me - sounded rather like Chris Tucker rather than Chekov.
