Weekend movie, DVD entertainment suggestions

STAR_TREK.JPGHere are a few entertainment ideas to help you beat the heat this weekend:

"Star Trek": A look at how the crew of the Enterprise came together. Chris Pine and Leonard Nimoy star. Director J.J. Abrams accomplished what many thought was impossible: He created a tribute to the past while bringing the franchise into the future.

The film boldly goes where so many fans have gone before while still giving them a film that explores great performances and seeks out head-spinning special effects.

And, the movie is at the UA Clovis Towne Center 8. So tickets are only $3.

"The Ugly Truth": At times, the new helium-light romantic comedy wants to be a broad, bawdy comedy. Then it tries to be the kind of romance story you want your parents to see. Too much indecision by director Robert Luketic has the film fighting itself from beginning to end.

But, this new feature film is a perfect date movie. That's because even during the boring parts you can either stare at Katherine Heigl or Gerard Butler.

"Watchmen": The film has just been released on DVD. It is worth your time because it is about superheroes who try to deal with their emotional, mental and social problems while stopping a mysterious killer.

Director Zack Snyder has made a visually stunning take on the much-heralded 12-edition graphic comic book novel.
