Movie Mini-Reviews
In this edition, the Factor is reviewing two french movies: La Cage Aux Folles I and II.
For those not familiar, the movie Birdcage starting Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Ally McBeal was a US version of La Cage Aux Folles.
There are 20+ year old movies, so don't expect many bonus features on the DVDs.
If you've already seen the Birdcage, you will notice many similarities between that and I. The sequel is a totally different story, but with the same couple.
Factor Rating
La Cage Aux Folles I: B+
La Cage Aux Folles II: B-

Exclusive preview of the new Star Trek XI movie!
Here at the Factor we have been able to get a sneak preview of the new Star Trek movie!
This is ___exclusive___!!!!
Here is what happens: Young Kirk and Spock serve on Starship Oceanic on a scientific mission to a remote planet. While in orbit the starship has technical difficulties and crashes into the planet. The majority of the crew survives and ends up on an isolated island. Soon after the crash the survivors discover that they are not alone on the island. They discover polar bears, black smoke dragons and another strange group of people they call "Oders". They also run into the sole survivor of a Romulan science mission, her name is "Delenn" played by Mira Furlan. A few weeks later the survivors discover an underground facility, and after digging a bit deeper they discover the facility is part of an obscure Star Fleet program called "The Durman Initiative".
I hope you enjoyed this exclusive preview of the new Star Trek movie :-)
