"No Country for Old Men"

Did any one like this movie? I watched it and though I am not usually turned off by violence I do insist on a plot & some kind of ending... What the heck was that?

The Dark Knight

The better halve and I went to see The Dark Knight today. It was a good movie; however, it did not live up to the hype. The story is better than most Batman movies and Heath Ledger did a good job, but he is not Jack.

I would recommend the movie but don't by into the hype - On it's on it is a good movie, but will be a disappointment if you believe the hype.

Lot of Disappointed people

See what I had to say about the movie

The Angelina Jolie action thriller Wanted scored the best opening ever for an R-rated film released in June and the 6th best opening of all time for any R-rated pic, according to Variety.

Wanted - The Movie (really they need one)

I went to see what I thought would be a good movie - Wanted. I was wrong! It could have been a good movie - It has all the expected twist, but still it could have been good... Here is a hint, when you introduce something extremely "far fetched" you need to spend a little time making it somewhat believable (i.e. The Force, Krypton, Radioactive Spider Bite, etc.), a loom deciding who dies(?).

The actors/acting made it watchable - If you care what I think I would suggest you wait on the DVD...actually they may have been better served going directly to DVD.

Casino Royale - Review - Recommend

As promised I went to see 'Casino Royale' and enjoyed it. Can I say it is the best 'Bond' movie I have ever seen-NO; however, it was good. If you consider that the movie is about the 'beginning of the legend' it will make the movie better. Basically, you need to forget all you know about Bond--forget you know he got married and that wife was killed immediately after the wedding, forget what he evolved into a dapper killing machine, forget that every women he runs into is ready to melt into his bed, and forget he very rarely ever gets dirty or bloody while saving the world--REMEMBER that he is just staring out. That starting out role and remembering it is what will make it work--he has a long fight scene with two men in a staircase that would have taken the older Bond less then a minute not to mention it took over half the movie to win the women who ends up being the reason he trust no one! All in all, though not the best 007 movie the ‘rough around the edges Bond’ was good and bore a striking similarity to Jason Bourne… I recommend it, if you care in the slightest.

Casino Royale

Since I have been a Bond fan forever I guess I will taking in the newest movie this weekend... I have my reservation since it is the "beginning" in the present--something just doesn't sound right about that!
