Just saw Night at the Museum, Smithsonian. Predictable and mindless, but pretty funny. Especially the Egyptian bad guy with the lisp. For a "Pt. 2" gig, it was pretty good.
Saw the new Terminator too. It was a let-down. But only because the first three Terminators centered around THE CHASE. The whole plot in the first three were the same..............bad Terminator chasing good guys, and that led to a lot of fun. This movie is more about the story line of man vs. machine, how it started, how it's being played out, the drama of mankind trying to survive against the machines in the BIG picture of our fate. It was good, but it lacked all that chasing around that the first three had.
With regard to The Dark Knight, I got a tattoo of Batman on my leg, so here goes.............
Somebody FINALLY got it right. Anything and everything else BEFORE these last two movies were garbage and stupid. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are the REAL DEAL according to the original intent of Batman. Christian Bale is, BY FAR, the BEST Batman ever! The reason his voice changes is the same reason ANY super-hero disguises himself. It's part of his cover-up. I know it grates on people, and it's been the object of a lot of critical commentary about the movie. But it's a part of Bruce Wayne remaining incognito behind that mask.
The numbers, the Oscars, and the hype all give it a 10 out of 10. I, of course, give it a 20 out of 10, buy I have a personal agenda.................
