175: Quick and Angry

Lin, Part 2:
Annapolis.

Running Time: 1 hour 27
seconds

After the success of Better
Luck Tomorrow, Justin Lin was given the opportunity to work on
big studio productions with substantially larger budgets. The first
of these was Annapolis in 2006. The film, starring
James Franco, Tyrese Gibson and Jordan Brewster, looks at a cadet's
first year at the U.S. Naval Academy.

In this episode
of Commentary: Trek Stars, Mike and John take a look
at Lin's second film. We discuss how it effectively uses cliches,
the similarities to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, and how
accurately it portrays the Academy. In news, we remember TNG and
DS9 visual effects supervisor Gary Hutzel, discuss the hiring of
Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth as executive producers on the new
Star Trek series, and touch on the order of Doug Jung's new
pilot, Scalped.
