The Dark Knight

Wanda and I finally went to see The Dark Knight tonight. The Batman films aren’t usually Wanda’s favorite kind of movies, but she wanted to see it because of Heath Ledger. As everyone said, he did an amazing performance. I liked the movie a lot – it was different from the other Batman movies, which was cool. I thought Christian Bale played a decent Batman, although I’m not sure about the raspy “in-suit” voice – perhaps that was part of his clever disguise. The movie was a little violent for kids, but I guess that’s why it’s PG-13.

I also saw a preview for the next Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. It looks like it should be good.

Juno II

Wanda and I watched the movie Juno awhile back, and we thought it was decent. It seems that you either love it or hate it. Digg linked to this MadTV parody on YouTube. I thought it was funny.

Note: This won’t be funny if you didn’t see ther movie, and even then it may not be funny. I laughed out loud.

Spanglish

Wanda and I saw Spanglish this weekend. It was pretty good. It didn’t have the ending the audience expected and wanted, but that could be good or bad based on your preference I suppose. The casting was good, although you wanted to strangle T?a Leoni by the end of the movie. I think it’s a movie that couples can enjoy together. It may not have been the movie of the century, but it’s a great date movie.

Fahrenheit 9/11

Well, we saw the movie Friday night. It was quite entertaining. I’m not entireley sure what to think of it since Moore’s mocumentaries have been notoriously full of half-truths, which makes sense given that it is a mocumentary. However, the movie does bring up some good points and adds fuel to the fire of those who already dislike Bush. I probably won’t vote for him, not necessarily because of his actions before and after 9/11 so much (although my verdict is still out on those events), but more likely because of the poor economy and hemorrhaging of jobs we have seen since he was elected. I recommend anyone see the movie, liberal, conservative, or otherwise.
