The Dark Knight. Was great in some parts, so-so in others, but entertaining none the less. Sad to see Aaron's acting being overlooked by all the critics, his performance was amazing!

I just come back from seeing The Dark Knight. Bloody awesome, and I'm really sad that I won't have any time to see it again 'til it comes out on DVD. Best movie I have seen in a looooooong time. And best sequel I have ever seen, now that I think about it.

Several months back I was going through Blockbuster's 4 for $20 and found myself with just 3 I was sure of. For the fourth, I took a chance on All The King's Men, because with Sean Penn, Anthony Hopkins, whats-his-name who plays Tony Soprano, and still others, I thought the cast looked great.

I finally got around to watching it the other night.

Unfortunately the movie was boring, waaaaaaaaay too long (I shut it off after 2 hours because I just didn't care how it ended) and the worst part was "Tony Soprano" trying to pull off a creole accent. He still sounds like an Italian New Yorker.

Don't waste your time on this movie, folks. You'll never get those hours back.

I was a little worried that I wouldn't like it but, after seeing it I must say that I truly enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that it was so short and they didn't really develop the Furious Five that much as characters (with the exception of maybe Tigress and Crane) All in all it's a pretty great film.

Under Suspicion, it had Morgan Freeman and Monica Bellucci in it so of course it was enjoyable.

Saw Hellboy 2 again. This time I wasn't in awe the whole time and I could focus on how good the storytelling was. It held up quite well and I noticed some things I completely spaced the first time.

During the intro scene when Hellboy's father is reading him the tale of the Golden Army and everything is a CGi cartoon their all puppets because it's how he was imagining it.

I also got to pay closer attention to all the creatures in the Troll Market. Some of them are spoofs of other character. I saw one that looks like Megalon and another that looks like Chewbacca with a wooden mask on.


I thought some of that was neat. There's probably more I didn't catch but with movies like that there's always a lot of detail put into little things.

I don't think I will get to see Hellboy again but I would love to because I was thinking how much there was to take in visually.

Spoiler:
The Troll market especially and the beginning where they are walking through the research facility and all these things are happening in the background

The Dark Knight

My 3rd time seeing it.

I really wasn't expecting to like this movie nearly as much as I did. It's so friggin awesome.

Just re-watched Batman Begins. I never thought this movie was anything special. I thought it was overly long, poorly paced, and just an all around over-rated film. After seeing The Dark Knight for the third time, I decided to go back and re-watch Begins to see if I enjoyed it anymore - and I really did. It's like watching a whole new movie now, I really don't know what happened. It's awesome.

Recently, I watched the 1941 version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which featured great acting by Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman. I can't say I really had any problems with the movie, but the pacing could've been sped up a bit.

Also watched Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, which I liked. It was interesting to see how the two monsters interacted in the movie.

The Cinema Insomnia version of The Brain That Wouldn't Die, which may have not been as entertaining as the MST3K version, but I was able to sit though the movie -- just kinda thought of MST3K while watching it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be without the riffs.

And yesterday, I watched Bullitt, which was very good. I think the chase scene was the most exciting scene in the movie.

I saw Lady in the Water. I don't know why everyone hates that movie so much, I thought it was all right. Not exactly on my top 50, but it was better than a lot of films I've seen.

Watched Dirty Rotten Scounrels yesterday, which was a pretty funny movie that kept my attention. I liked how Steve Martin and Michael Caine played off of each other.

And later, I watched Pathfinder with my dad, which was OK. I think the visuals, in a way, made up for the weak plot.

I will probably go see it again as well. It was one of my favorite movies this summer, and it will probably not get the credit it deserves since it opened just a week before TDK.

I saw WALL*E yesterday and I've got to say that it's awsome!!
Spoiler:
I did cry near the end however during the scene when WALL*E 'dies'.
Still it was a great film and I highly recommend it.
