I love what Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto did in this instalment. Quinto menage to capture emotionless face fasade of Spock and Chris put all his charm into his very intelligent, but cocky character of James T. Kirk.
Karl Urban's character, Bones was hilarious, I loved him in this one. Eric Bana and Leonard Nimoy showed true professional quality in the arts of acting. I was supprised when I saw Winona Ryder, she was good. I haven't saw her movies in a while.
Special effects were awesome...make-up was great, costumes even better, sountrack is coo. Overall, one very good movie.

Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Dammit, man! I'm a doctor, not a physicist!
*********************************************************************************************
Spock: [sits in the cockpit of his future self's ship] Fascinating!
*********************************************************************************************
Kirk: You know, traveling through time, changing history... that's cheating.
Spock: A trick I learned from an old friend.
[With an uncharacterisitc smile, he gives the Vulcan salute to Kirk]
Spock: Live long and prosper.
*********************************************************************************************
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Permission to speak freely, sir?
Spock: I welcome it.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: Do you? OK, then. Are you out of your Vulcan mind? Are you making a logical choice, sending Kirk away? Probably. But, the right one? You know, back home we have a saying: "If you wanna ride in the Kentucky Derby, you don't leave your prized stallion in the stable."
Spock: A curious metaphor, doctor, as a stallion must first be broken before it can reach its potential.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: My God, man, you could at least *act* like it was a hard decision...
Spock: I intend to assist in the effort to reestablish communication with Starfleet. However, if crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise. Excuse me.
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: [as Spock leaves] Green-blooded hobgoblin...
*********************************************************************************************
Spock: [after Kirk offers surrender terms to Nero] Captain, what are you doing?
Kirk: Showing them compassion. It may be the only way to earn peace with Romulus. It's logic, Spock, I thought you'd like that.
Spock: No, not really. Not this time.
*********************************************************************************************
Kirk: Uhura! Uhura!
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Kirk? What are you doing here?
Kirk: The message you intercepted from the Klingon prison planet...
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Oh my God, what's wrong with your hands!
Kirk: [waves off the question] Who was responsible for the attack and was the ship walullaa?
Lt. Nyota Uhura: What?
Kirk: [to McCoy] Whass... whas happening with my mouth?
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: You've got numb-tongue?
Kirk: *Nuhtung?*
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy: I can fix that!
[hurries off to find another hypospray]
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Was the ship what?
Kirk: Wallala!
Lt. Nyota Uhura: What?
Kirk: *Womulan!*
Lt. Nyota Uhura: Romulan? Yes!
[Bones injects him with another hypospray]
Kirk: ACK!
[trying to say 'dammit']
Kirk: DAHHIT!
*********************************************************************************************
Spock: [after Kirk has assumed official command of Enterprise] Captain? As you have no First Officer I respectfully submit my candidacy. I can provide character references if you wish.
Kirk: It would be an honour, First Officer.
*********************************************************************************************
Simulator techie: How did that guy beat your test?
Spock: I do not know.

Audrey Tautou best known role and she done it so beautifully. Entire movie is weirdly sweet, full of colors and little interesting things from the beginning to the very end. A quite magnificent story, beautifully told by sweet and amusing Amelie. She is one unique character with amazing personality. I would like to hang out with her, she would menage to surprise me anytime whatever she do. Actors were amazing, every character unique in his difference. I remember watching it for the first time, I was amazed. This movie is very dear to me, maybe because its sweet and weird. Music from the movie is divine, written and composed by Yann Tiersen. Happy, sad, interesting and sweet at the same time.
******************************************************************************************* Amélie: [whispering in theater] I like to look for things no one else catches. I hate the way drivers never look at the road in old American movies. ******************************************************************************************* Amélie: [to her father, who is not paying attention] I had two heart attacks, an abortion, did crack... while I was pregnant. Other than that, I'm fine. ******************************************************************************************* [first lines] Narrator: On September 3rd 1973, at 6:28pm and 32 seconds, a bluebottle fly capable of 14,670 wing beats a minute landed on Rue St Vincent, Montmartre. At the same moment, on a restaurant terrace nearby, the wind magically made two glasses dance unseen on a tablecloth. Meanwhile, in a 5th-floor flat, 28 Avenue Trudaine, Paris 9, returning from his best friend's funeral, Eugène Colère erased his name from his address book. At the same moment, a sperm with one X chromosome, belonging to Raphaël Poulain, made a dash for an egg in his wife Amandine. Nine months later, Amélie Poulain was born. ******************************************************************************************* Amélie: [to blind man] Let me help you. Step down. Here we go! The drum major's widow! She's worn his coat since the day he died. The horse's head has lost an ear! That's the florist laughing. He has crinkly eyes. In the bakery window, lollipops. Smell that! They're giving out melon slices! Sugarplum, ice cream! We're passing the park butcher. Ham, 79 francs. Spareribs, 45! Now the cheese shop. Picadors are 12.90. Cabecaus 23.50. A baby's watching a dog that's watching the chickens. Now we're at the kiosk by the metro. I'll leave you here. Bye! ******************************************************************************************* Magnificent. Enjoy.
Beautiful. Excellent. Perfect.
Since the first time I saw this movie it became one of my top favorite and it stayed there for all this time. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, amazingly talented pair, made characters of Andy Dufresne and Ellis Boyd 'Red' Redding unforgettable.
Set in the 1940's, the film shows how Andy, who was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife and her lover, menage to survive 19 yrs in Shawshank Prison, with a help of Red, who he meet there and became best friend with. Andy's spirit and determination show us how hope can bring u light in most hardest times if u believe in it.
Rememberal quotes:
........................................................................................................................
Red: The man likes to play chess; let's get him some rocks.
........................................................................................................................
Andy Dufresne: If they ever try to trace any of those accounts, they're gonna end up chasing a figment of my imagination.
Red: Well, I'll be damned. Did I say you were good? Shit, you're a Rembrandt!
Andy Dufresne: Yeah. The funny thing is - on the outside, I was an honest man, straight as an arrow. I had to come to prison to be a crook.
........................................................................................................................
Andy Dufresne: What about you? What are you in here for?
Red: Murder, same as you.
Andy Dufresne: Innocent?
Red: [shakes his head] Only guilty man in Shawshank.
........................................................................................................................
Red: I could see why some of the boys took him for snobby. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He strolled, like a man in a park without a care or a worry in the world, like he had on an invisible coat that would shield him from this place. Yeah, I think it would be fair to say... I liked Andy from the start.
........................................................................................................................
Red: [narrating] Tommy Williams came to Shawshank in 1965 on a two-year stretch for B&E. That's breaking & entering to you. Cops caught him sneaking TV sets out the back door of a JC Penney. Young punk. Mr. Rock and Roll. Cocky as hell.
Tommy Williams: Hey, c'mon, old boys! You're movin' like molasses! Makin' me look bad!
Red: [narrating] We liked him immediately.
........................................................................................................................
Tommy Williams: So I'm backing out the door, right, and I got the TV, like this; it was a big old thing, I couldn't see shit; suddenly I hear this voice, "Police, kid, hands in the air." You know, I was standing there, holdin' on to that TV, so finally the voice says, "You hear what I said, boy?" And I say, "Yes sir, I sure did, but if I drop this fucking thing you got me on destruction of property too."
........................................................................................................................
Heywood: The Count of Monte Crisco...
Floyd: That's "Cristo" you dumb shit.
Heywood: ...by Alexandree Dumb-ass. Dumb-ass.
Andy Dufresne: Dumb-ass? "Dumas". You know what it's about? You'll like it, it's about a prison break.
Red: We oughta file that under "Educational" too, oughten we?

Awesome. Crew, cars, music... everything is great. Ive seen this one over 50 times if not more. I know almost every line. Trevor Rabin done excellent job on soundtrack. I totally adore 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500.
My favorite character is Sphinx played by Vinnie Jones. The man doesn't say a word until the last 2 minutes in the end when he pulls out magnificent philosophical quote on everyone surprise:
The Sphinx: "If his unpleasant wounding has in some way enlightened the rest of you as to the grim finish beneath the glossy veneer of criminal life and inspired you to change your ways, then his injuries carry with it an inherent nobility, and a supreme glory. We should all be so fortunate. You say poor Toby? I say poor us."
Angelina Jolie, Nicholas Cage, Robert Duvall, Will Patton, Giovanni Ribisi, Delroy Lindo, Timothy Olyphant, Christopher Eccleston and many more awesome actors made this movie even better. Not the mention 50 gorgeous ladies they have to boost and some great driving skills.
Car lovers will have great time, cos not only they have to see great cars and driving, but to hear nice cool side info too.
The movie keeps attention all the time till the end.

Here's some of mine favorite quotes from this one:
Freb: Hey, man, that was as easy as pie!
Donny: I'm a veteran, son.
[a carjacker jams a gun through the window]
Punk: [shouting] Get outta the car, bitch, or I'm gonna blow your brains out!
Donny: You gotta be shittin' me...
Punk: Do I have shoot you, dammn it?
[Donny takes his gun and knocks him out]
Freb: Damn!
Donny: [gets out of the car and kicks the punk] You lazy, half-ass bully! Any asshole can pull a gun on somebody! You don't know the first thing about stealing a car! Boy! You need a role model!

[the crew enters the Ferrari garage]
Sway: Hello, ladies. I always was a sucker for a redhead.
..........................................................................................................................
Donny: Hello, and welcome to "TV Car Trivia!" First question, who was the driver of a '73 Firebird? Uh, Otto?
Otto Halliwell: Uh, Jim Rockford, "Rockford Files".
Sara "Sway" Wayland: Gimme "Columbo".

Sara "Sway" Wayland: Drove a Corvette in "The Magician", a Ford pickup truck in "The Incredible Hulk", and in "The Courtship of Eddie's Father", he walked.

[in a Ferrari dealership]
Roger the Car Salesman: My name's Roger, Sir. May I be of some help?
Memphis: That's funny, my name's Roger... Two Rogers don't make a right.
[laughs]
Memphis: Roger, I have a problem...
Roger the Car Salesman: Yes?
Memphis: I've been in L.A. for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me.
Roger the Car Salesman: Well, a Ferrari would certainly change that.
Memphis: Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this is the one. Yes, yes yes... I saw three of these parked outside the local Starbucks this morning, which tells me only one thing. There's too many self-Indulgent wieners in this city with too much bloody money! Now, if I was driving a 1967 275 GTB four-cam...
Roger the Car Salesman: You would not be a self-indulgent wiener, sir... You'd be a connoisseur.
Memphis: Precisely. Champagne would fall from the heavens. Doors would open. Velvet ropes would part.

[when Calitri turns on the car crusher, Memphis points a gun at him]
Memphis: Shut it off!
Raymond Calitri: You got 30 seconds to consider your options.
Memphis: [screaming] SHUT IT OFF!
Raymond Calitri: One, you kill me, they kill you, your brother dies anyway.
Raymond Calitri: Two, you lie, you accept the job, you run, I hunt you down, I kill you, I kill your brother, and I kill your mother for the aggravation you cause me. Three, you accept the job, you steal some cars, you make some money, and you be a big brother.
[Memphis surrenders; One of Calitri's goon turns off the crusher]
Raymond Calitri: 8 a.m. Friday Morning. The cars are on the boat, or your brother's in the coffin.
..........................................................................................................................
Police chopper pilot: [after Memphis got away from the helicopter driving Eleanor] He's gone.
Det. Roland Castlebeck: GOD!
Drycoff: Man this guy can drive!
Det. Roland Castlebeck: What? WHAT?
Drycoff: It's probably mostly the car...
..........................................................................................................................
Donny: Hey, did you see a box of rubber gloves around here?
Mirror Man: Gloves? Man, you don't need gloves! This is the new age! Check it out.
Donny: What is this?
Mirror Man: Just let me see that big claw you call a hand.
[He spreads adhesive onto Donny's fingertip]
Mirror Man: That ain't donut jelly, so don't eat it.
[He applies the false fingerprint]
Mirror Man: Your new fingerprints. Elvis is back.
Donny: Damn...
Mirror Man: Boy got skills, right?
Donny: Yeah, you do.
[They bump fists]
Donny: You're like a little ghetto Smurf!
