Starting today Film Fresh has J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK reboot. This summer blockbuster is one of the highest rated films of the year. NPR film critic Bob Mondello called the film an “insanely satisfying ride”  and ROLLING STONE critic Peter Travers believes the film is “an irresistible invitation for fun.”

One of the few naysayers of the film was critic Roger Ebert. “The movie deals with narrative housekeeping. Perhaps the next one will engage these characters in a more challenging and devious story, one more about testing their personalities than re-establishing them.” (more)

Abrams recently responded to criticisms of the film in an exclusive interview on the STAR TREK blog TrekMovie by stating, “I agree with almost every criticism I read.” However, Abrams goes onto to say that he is “incredibly proud of the cast, really honored to be involved in this movie. It was an incredible experience.”  (more)

Finally, for all those Jason Statham fans out there, Film Fresh is happy to announce that CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE is finally available for DivX download. Jason Anderson of the TORONTO STAR says the film is, “Tasteless, trashy and totally over the top, CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE might also be one of the year's most inventive movies. Sometimes, nothing exceeds like excess.” (more)
