My Thoughts On Batman: The Dark Knight

Monday, July 28th, 2008

The Dark Knight has been out for a couple of weeks now and has already grossed over $300,000,000. It’s pulled in more money in 10 days than any other film. It stand a good chance at becoming one of the top grossing domestic blockbusters of all time. There’s no denying that it’s doing good. In fact, yesterday when the wife and I saw it at the IMAX, the showing we were at was sold out. There were several people there that were seeing the film for the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time. Some people and blogs have called The Dark Knight as “the best film ever made”. Is it really that good?

I didn’t think so. (more…)

Iron Man

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Yesterday I saw Iron Man at the Regal Pinnacle Stadium 18. The movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time, not only was it one of the best Superhero origin movies, it was probably one of Robert Downey Jr.’s best performances. While I was thrilled with the movie, I’ve also got to say that this also happened to be one of the worst movie experiances ever.

I saw the digital showing of Iron Man. Who would pass that up, right? Well, the theater experienced issues with their digital projector causing the movie to skip and studder every couple of minutes. It studdered more than Max Hedroom… though Max was cool. Thankfully, the theater did give everyone a free pass, so I’ll probably go back and see it again later.

For me, this ranked right up there with Batman Begins. RDJ was an awesome Tony Stark, and I’ll love to see Iron Man 2.

I wasn’t the only one there who loved the movie. Despite the studdering, there was a scene that actually caused people to clap while the movie was still playing. I’d wager that they would have clapped afterwards as well if we hadn’t been ready to mob the box office.

Go see it. It’s fracking awesome!

Movies I Want To See This Year

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

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… (more…)
