now anyone else out there that wants to join in. All you have to do is post one word that describes how you liked or disliked the Dark Knight. AND HERE WE….GO!

I know there will be midnight showings tonight and while I would love to go see it then I just don’t feel like being a zombie at work tomorrow. Plan on seeing it with a few friends so its going to be a very good night. I have heard some really good things about it. I have watched pretty much all the trailers there are out there and I just don’t see how this movie can be shitty. The one thing I am worried about is that they will rush things with Two-Face which I don’t really forsee happening but it is still in the back of my mind. We don’t want another Spider-Man 3 fiasco on our hands here!

Anyways I figured I would drop everyone a line because I am bloody excited about seeing this movie . Anyone else have their tickets ready for this movie?

The beginning of the movie was actually really good. I loved that they went back to the first one and brought up the Ark that was really cool. The action in the movie was awesome it definately had the whole Indian Jones feel to it which I loved. Then it got a little weird for me, when Indiana escaped the Russians he went to where they were testing a nuclear explosion and he climbed into a refridgerator and was able to survive. Now that may seem like ok well the fridge was made of lead(said on the box) but it shot him about 200ft in the air as well as about another 200-300 ft out and he got out un-scratched and un-harmed.

Now I have to say I was pretty impressed with Shia LaBeouf. Now I never really ever had a problem with him but they are putting this kid in every movie which has gotten rather annoying and I fear that he will burn out rather quickly if he doesn’t slow down a little. He did a good job in this movie, and I think they will be using him as a transistion into the Young Indiana Jones movies which should be interesting.

Now to talk about some of the stuff I didn’t like in this movie. First lets just say I like alien movies I always have I think they are cool, but in a Indian Jones movie they do not belong. The plot in this movie just seemed very bland and boring to me. If you were a huge fan of Temple of Doom you will probably love this movie. It was in my opinion on par with that one. But it doesn’t even come close to Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade. Harrison Ford did a good job but at the same time he wasn’t as quick witted and just seemed to of lost his step at being Indiana. I loved these movies and this one just didn’t do it for me. It was entertaining at best but was no where close to where it should of been being a Indian Jones movie.

I know I kind of rambled on a lot here but the bottom line is that for this being a Indian Jones movie it really didn’t live up to its name like the past ones have. Do I recommend this movie to anyone? Yes I do only because it is a Indiana Jones movie and it is worth the watch for any fan out there. I was just very dissappointed in how they went about this movie story/plot wise.

The only thing that I was a little iffy about was the on screen romance between Robert Downey Junior and Gweneth Paltrow it just seemed a little bland to me but that was just minor to the over all bad assness of this movie. There is no stop action through out the whole movie as well as great character development. I can’t say enough good things about this movie with out ruining it for people which I do not want to do.

I really love what marvel is doing now with their movies. If some of you are not aware Marvel has taken full control over all their movies meaning they are the ones putting up the cash for all the movies. This is just the beginning of many marvel movies to come. Tony Stark is suppose to be making an appearance in the new hulk movie as well. So from what I gather Marvel is working on trying to incoporate all these movies together and then come out with one big bad ass movie *cough* Avengers *cough* We can only hope right.

Be sure that you stay through all the credits to watch the final scene of the movie. Some will appreciate it while others will be like what the fuck was the point of that. Either way stay anyways.

This month is going to be a busy month for movies for me. We have the new Narnia movie coming out in a couple of weeks as well as Indiana Jones 4 at the end of the month which I could not be more excited about. So stay tuned you will get reviews for all of them to come.

For those that don’t know what the movie is about it is about young students at MIT that get put together to count cards in blackjack to always win. Ben(Jim Sturgess) is the newest member of the team and he soon becomes the most popular with Prof. Micky Rosa (Spacey). So as you can imagine they win big and Ben is having the time of his life and flying high. Nothing can go wrong for him until he has one bad night and loses a lot of money and then his life is thrown in a downward spiral that he must try and fix. The movie is rather long but honestly it didn’t feel that way. I walked away from this movie very entertained and satisfied… I would strong recommend this movie to anyone that like blackjack or and kind of gambling in general. Hell even if you don’t like gambling you will enjoy this movie.

I will try and get better about posting to try and keep you people entertained… I am also in the process of starting another site in the coming weeks and I will keep you all informed. I think Everyone will really enjoy the new site

Have a good rest of the day/week and don’t hesitate to post up comments on my review. Peace!

5. Better Off Dead

I saw this movie when I was in High School and couldn’t stop laughing. This is such a classic teen comedy about a guy who gets dumped by this girl that he is obsessed with. So he does everything he can to try and get her back only to find out that he is actually in love with the neighbor across the street. A movie anyone would enjoy no matter what their age may be.

4. Superbad

I just recently watched this movie about a month ago and holy hell it was freaking hilarious. This movie is not for young kids and I don’t recommend it to parents to watch with their young kids. If you like crude humor this movie is for you.

3. American Pie

The famous pie scene that will live forever in movie history. Poor Jason Biggs will never ever live that down and will always be known for being the guy that FUCKED THE PIE. Great movie about 4 friends trying to get laid before they leave highschool

2. Can’t Hardly Wait

“I CAN KICK EVERYONE ASS IN THIS ROOM!!” Have to love that line. This movie is not only funny but it is pretty serious in some parts and has a great story.

1. Dazed and Confused

This is one of those movies I have to watch at least once a month. It is so funny to see so many of the huge stars that are in Hollywood now back when they were that young. A real cool look at how it was back in the day in highschool and how much it has changed sense even I was there. I love this movie and it was a no contest at putting this one at number one.

Well I know I didn’t go into a super amount of detail as to why I like these movies but oh well what can you do? I know there are tons more but these are the ones that stuck out to me the most. If you have your own don’t hesitate to post them up.

Don’t get me wrong the action was awesome and the fight scene were really really cool. But the over all plot and dialog of the movie was rather disappointing. I will give credit to Hayden Christensen though he did impress me a little bit with his acting, cause lets face it after Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith everyone was thinking he was a pretty shitty actor. He did a pretty good job in this movie but you can tell he still needs some more practice. I read a interview with him a couple months ago about this movie and they had said they would like to make a series out of this movie(which by the way is based off of a book by Steven Gould). I can see this being a good story but they definitely need to do some more work on the over all story. I don’t know how the book is because I don’t like to read books.

Would I recommend this movie to someone? I would say wait till video if you really want to watch this movie. If you are looking for a mindless action movie this movie would fit the bill. But if you are looking for a story with some phenomenal acting this is not the movie for you. This is a full on entertainment only movie, maybe the next one will actually have some plot and story to it but this one was lacking it very much.

These are action movies I can watch on a weekly basis with out any trouble.

10. Bourne Identity

I am a sucker for spy/assassin style movies and this one definatly tops them all. I could of easily put all three of the bournes because I loved them all so much. I have to watch them at least once every couple of months.

9. Lethal Weapon

The Lethal Weapon series is just awesome I grew up watching all of these with my mom. I still can sit and watch all four of them in one day with out ever getting tired of them.

8. Transformers

This is movie is bad ass enough said there. It was the best action movie to come out last summer and I can seriously sit and watch it once a week. Starscream is a bad ass and the coolest transformer hands down.

7. Face Off

Great movie, tons of action and plenty of one liners that you can quote all the time… ” It’s like looking in a mirror. Only… not.”

6. Batman

This one was a tuffy to choose between this one and Batman Begins. But I had to go with the orginal that started it all(movie wise). I still think Michiel Keaton was the best Batman, not only did he pull off Bruce Wayne but he pulled of being Batman just amazingly. I still give my boy Christian Bale props though he is a close 2nd with Keaton. It will definately be interesting to see The Dark Knight.

5. Terminator

Terminator was just a classic and really opened up the doors into the future style movies. Even when I watch this movie now I get chills everytime I hear that music play that says the terminator is there. Freaking awesome

4. Tombstone

Just and awesome movie all around. Val Kilmer was the star of this movie I have never seen anyone play a better Doc Holliday he pulled it off perfectly. This is my favorite western of all time I can watch this over and over and never get tired of it.

3. Predator

This movie still scares the shit out of me sometimes. The predator is just so fucking ugly, have to love how Arnold gets thrown around. Great movie and it has The Body in it how could it not be good?

2. The Rock

All star cast, guns, hostages, marines, navy seals, THE ROCK… Non stop action, witty humor, and great story. I love this movie.

1. Die Hard

“Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker. ” What else is there to say about this movie?
