. . .of a demon in my view.

Tonight I took in Angels and Demons, I was satisfied. As with the novels themselves, I thought this movie was better than DaVinci Code. As for all the other little nitpicky things people seem to get all worked up about. . .blah, whatever. Hanks portrays a decent Langdon, not how I saw him, but what's so special about that? Changing aspects of the story to fit it all in the movie was fine with me too. And of course I always enjoy watching Ewan McGregor. ever since Trainspotting, the dude's just a fun actor. My only gripe with this movie was my main group with DaVinci Code, not enough of the back story on the art. (sigh) However, I felt they put a little more of that in this movie, but still. . .give me a two hour art history lesson, I'm game. Either way go see this one.
As for other recent movies, I've seen them but can't think of anything good or bad to say about them. Wolverine was alright. Star Trek was alright. Not much more I can say about them than that.

To watch or not to watch.

This evening I sat in on the Watchmen film and I feel a little drained. This movie had so much going on, that I think I must have missed half of it. While it might not have been your typical family friendly superhero movie, and Dr. Manhattan really needed to put on a pair of drawls for most of his time spent in the movie, I wasn't disappointed. However, I don't think it was out of the park spectacular either. I think I'll agree with others I've talked too it about, and say that Rorschach and his story was the most enjoyable part of the movie.

Pull

A few nights back I took in the movie Push, which all in all wasn't too bad. I have to admit that the story kind of lost me after a while though, but that might have been because I was tired . . .or stupid. Favorite parts were the gun battles, I know it's not too original, but a telekinetic gun fight could get all sorts of cool if done right. In this movie it was a little low key, but still kind of fun and it stirred the imagination. Always a good thing.

Inky

A few nights back I took up my sister's invitation to go see the film Inkheart. I thought it was a nice little movie that stirred up the imagination. The end, however, had a couple of problems for me. I won't go into what they all were, it just seemed like a little too much formula and not enough punch. Of course I'm sure the book was better than the movie, but as movies go it worked for me.

Blood and bones.

Yesterday I caught latest in Vampire and Werewolf wackiness, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. These movies have been entertaining, if nothing else, but the story in the other two seemed a bit too . . .rushed maybe, I don't know. "Oh lookie lookie the most dangerous vampire in the world. KILL IT!!!" Five minutes later. "Oh lookie the most dangerous Vampire and Werewolf in the world, quick turn into a cross-breed proto vamp-wolf chick and chop them up with helicopters." Yeah, little silly, but hey I enjoyed them. With this third instalment we go back to beginning of the war between the vamps and the wolves. It explained all of this in the first movie, but I guess it just didn't explain it enough. And when it comes right down too it, I think I prefer the story of this prequel movie over the other two. Things were a little simpler back then.

Egg all over the place.

Last night I sat in on The Spirit, or as I like to think of it, The Sam Jackson as a Nazi movie. Awesome flick, I liked it a lot more than I thought I would, and I thought I was going to like it a lot. On a whole it kind of felt like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow crossed over with Sin City, with Sam Jackson and other people. Yeah cool show, I can't say much more about it. . .OK maybe that it was "damn weird."

Robuts.

Last week I finally got to see Wall-E. Now while I might have thought this movie was some kind of Wal-Mart propaganda film, I was pleasantly surprised that it was about a cuddly little robot instead. Like most of the the Pixar movies I've seen, I enjoyed this one too. My favorite parts were the wackos and okay, when he finally holds her hand. Maybe I'm just a closet sucker for romance.
