Movies I Want To See This Year

There are a lot of movies scheduled to come out this year, some are sure to be great and others are sure to suck. Most likely a majority of the movies will fall into the 2nd column, but I’ll still go see them anyway. I’ve started the year off good, Sweeney Todd was an amazing movie, and if I had written this list 2 weeks ago, it would have topped it. But I’ve already seen it, so there is no point in adding it to a list of movies that I want to see this year, now is there?

So, here are the movies I’m waiting for… Continue reading

Batman Begins Still Number One

While it hasn’t exactly reached “blockbuster” status, Batman Begins held the number one box office spot for the second week.

Though, from the looks of things it didn’t have much competition. Being that coming up we have the July 4th holiday weekend, I’d say Batman’s days are numbered.

  1. “Batman Begins,” $26.8 million.
  2. “Bewitched,” $20.2 million.
  3. “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” $16.75 million.
  4. “Herbie: Fully Loaded,” $12.75 million.
  5. “George Romero’s Land of the Dead,” $10.2 million.
  6. “Madagascar,” $7.3 million.
  7. “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith,” $6.25 million.
  8. “The Longest Yard,” $5.5 million.
  9. “The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D,” $3.4 million.
  10. “Cinderella Man,” $3.3 million.

War of the Worlds opens this Wednesday with Fantastic Four and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory comming in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully all of them will be good. ;)

Batman Begins

Yesterday was pretty fun. I ended up dragging the wife out of the house by her hair and to the movie theater to see the newest reincarnation of Gothem City’s Dark Knight. Batman of course.

I was kind of worried about seeing some lesser known actor playing Batman, but considering how bad of a job people like Val Kilmer and George Clooney did, it couldn’t possibly get any worse.

I must say, I was extremely impressed with Christian Bale’s performance. Batman Begins is the best Batman movie yet, and I’d like to see Bale back as Batman again. ;)

They did alter the “history” of the previous Batman movies, but at this point, I’m ready to forget the others even happened. :p Batman Begins is absolutely a must see movie for any Batman fan, but it’s also one of the better movies so far this year.
