OT: Movies You Have Seen Lately

Batman Begins - 8 out of 10

Pro's - Really good Batman moive with top end supporting actors and a semi-solid story. Great action and finally we get a batmobile that is worthy of the name.

Con's - The Scare Crow is bioutched the back seat and is more of a pawn than a major player. The story line leaves decimates the story established in Batman (The Tim Burton movie) regarding the death of Bruce Waynes parents.

Over all it is a good movie to rent and watch. The DVD sucks as far as features go.

As to buying the DVD, wait, they are obviously going to come out with a special edition. (There are no features on the current DVD. The CDROM stuff is just junk spam.)

Do not put it into your PC DVD player. You have been warned. (Spam)

Pretty much every version of the DOBWP is different. The Joker angle was used in the original Batman #1 movie and I believe in the Batman cartoon (The older, better one, not the new The Batman. Mr. Cobblepot, aka, The Penguin, Is Not A Ninja!).

House of Flying Daggers

It was pretty good. Nice elaborate kung fu-type fight scenes, and a rather tragic story, in a similar style as movies like Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Some of the moves the people use in the fights are seem kind of unrealistic in that they would require such an incredible level of skill to do them. Not a bad movie, though.

Michael Moore Hates America - 8 out of 10

Pro's - This movie does a far better job of telling the truth than any of Mr. Moores movies. It is very informative, fun to watch, and invokes a sense of faith in America that none of Mr. Moores films do.

Con's, - Pro NRA message. (Albeit the message is truthful and not watered down by politics) Pro-American (Almost to the point that it makes you feel good about being an American again.)

All in all the DVD is a really good bargin that does a very fair job of telling the truth about the subject material its based upon. A very good movie for any one.

The Island

Quite an interesting premise; clones for the purpose of organ transplantation. I thought the movie was quite well done, and did a good job of illustrating the hazards of human cloning. The scary thing is, I can see exactly what happened in the movie happening in the future... Some people will do anything to live.

9/10

I saw "Munich". This is the kind of movie that I would normally not go see. A friend talked me into it, saying that it got super reviews and it's based on history and it's really well done and so on.

Well, it's by Steven Spielberg so I thought it can't be bad. Well, I went with my friend and saw the movie and I didn't like it at all. Not because the story or acting was bad, but because it was so dark and depressing.

I like happy or exciting movies that make me feel good, not these gloomy tales about misery and revenge. Next time, I'm going to pick the movie.

The Transport 2

Man I don't know about this movie at all. It had a really bad story line, very cheezy stunts, and some really bad acting. But some of the elements of the film were enjoyable to watch.

I would have to say that this one is one that you might consider renting or buying after it goes into the $0.99 cent bin.

I just bought "Serenity", and LOVE that flick.

Bought "Batman Begins,too. Nicely done.

[Atrocities]

I have to agree with both of your comments about Serenity and Batman Begins.

The Constant Gardener - Very very boring. Rent at own risk.

The Four Brothers - Better than it looks and sounds. Has a few cool shoot outs and the plot is weak but ok. Nice movie to spend an evening with when you have nothing better to do but clip your toe nails and eat pop corn.

Just rented "Spanglish", and was actually VERY surprised that I liked it ( it was a "Date" movie, what can I say ? )!?!?!? Good performances by Adam Sandler and Cloris Leachman.

And I hate Tea Leoni even more than I did before.....
