Usual Suspects - ***
Entertaining film noir, I don't think it's the masterpiece many say it is, if only because that twist ending, as awesome as it is, does kinda make you feel cheated, but I guess that was the point. Kevin Spacey is awesome, his performance may be considered hammy by some, but I kind of see it as a homage to old actors in the film noir genre like Cagney and Mitchum. Not a whole lot going on in the character development department, but it's such a compelling story and entertaining film that it's easy not to really care.
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home - ***
Leonard Nimoy. Can be described with many words. Vulcan, Starfleet Lieutenant, Filmmaker, Poet, Musician, Photographer... Comedian? Star Trek makes an unusual turn towards comedy and actually it's one of the best films in the series.
