Batman: Gotham Knight

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Just about everywhere you look, you’ll see people comparing Batman: Gotham Knight to The Animatrix. Any why not, both were straight-to-DVD, animated films, made up of a number of short stories that rode on the back of a highly successful movie franchise.

While Gotham Knight offers more action than The Dark Knight, it really doesn’t offer much more than that. While the animation wasn’t bad, I’ve seen better on Saturday morning TV. If this was a few years ago, I might have been impressed.

Story wise, they all pretty much tie in together. Covering some events between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight… and even a bit of a Batman Beings prequel in the form of a flashback.

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…)

Batman: The Dark Knight (IMAX)

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

It’s 2:00 pm. In an hour and fourty minuites, the wife and I will be sitting in the theater watching The Dark Knight on an IMAX screen. Well, technically it’s not a “real” IMAX, more of a mini-IMAX. Regardless, this is something I’ve been looking forward to for a long, long time.

We would have seen it last weekend, but Sunday is the only day I don’t work, and everything but the last showing was sold out. Boo! I’ll not let that happen this time! I’ve Fandango’d my tickets to assure me a seat. ;)

I’ll let you know what I thought about the film when I get back.

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…)
