I have seen 4 movies in the last week. All pretty decent so here we go.
Cinderella Man – saw on Friday and I have to say that Ron Howard did a great job on this film, it will win a lot of film maker awards. Suprisingly, Russell Crowe didn’t annoy me like I thought he would. He has now, in my book become a good actor. 7 out of 10
Mr. and Mrs. Smith – Saw it on Saturday and Wow… great action in this film. Kind of reminded me of True Lies a bit and I really liked the chemistry that Pitt and Jolie had on screen. Funny, action-packed good time. 7 out of 10
The Longest Yard – Typical MTV offering. Funny, yes. Uneccessary (questionable) scenes, not really maybe three. A film to go see if you like Adam Sandler and Chris Rock films, yes. A film to see just because… NO go see see Mr. and Mrs. Smith instead. Let’s get real, it’s a remake of an old film. No originality so 5 out of 10 and that’s low for me, I like to watch movies.
Batman Begins – Saw yesterday, and I have to say that I saved the best for last. Christian Bale didn’t disappoint me in this film. I loved his portral of Batman. Liam Nieson was great as well as Morgan Freeman, Katie Holmes, and Cillian Murphy who plays the Scarecrow. This is the best Batman movie I have seen and that’s tough to say cause Michael Keaton, Batman was the best of all the ones I had ever seen. Critics like this film and so do I. 8 out of 10: Great action, good plot line and the best thing, no real sappy love interest, just action and plot development.
Well that’s all for now. I am now in waiting for War of the Worlds on the 29th so I hope to get a few more viewings of Star Wars in this week. I am up to 6 and I need to see it at least once more to tie my personal record for watching Star Wars: Attack of the Clones in theatres.
