I'm a big Bale fan too... He's a hell of an actor. That said, I can see where you're coming from. The stoic brooding and the pursed lips did wear a little thin. The writing and the darker tone helped a LOT, IMO. Honestly... I think Bale is a good Batman (passable, at the least)... and Ledger will knock it out of the park. |

I liked Batman Begins better than any other Batman movie and I thought Val Kilmer was the best Batman (even if the movie he was in wasn't very good). I thought Bale was good too.

I've never seen any of the previous Batman movies or Superman movies, in fact I usually steer clear of any comic book superhero type movies. In the past, whenever I attempted to watch one of these films I could never make it all the way through.
When "Batman Begins" came out on DVD I rented it because I liked Bale. As it turns out, I ended up buying the rental from Blockbuster which I've never done with any other movie. "Batman Begins" was exactly the opposite of all the reasons of why I couldn't stand any of the other comic book movies. As a sidenote, one of my business clients from about 1995 until I retired in 2004 was Paul Pelletier. He had told me one time he was a comic book artist but we never talked about it very much, mostly just music, he was a hard rock fan like myself. The other day I did a search about Paul to see what he was up to and found out he's one of the main artist at Marvel Comics. |

I just got done watching Vantage Point. Pretty solid flick. I thought they rushed the ending.
Oh, and Quaid's apparently Robocop. |

Vantage Point sucked. Too predictable. Quaid is a hell of a stunt driver though. And too short.

I don't think Vantage Point necessarily sucked. It just seemed jumbled together, then hurried at the ending.
It was better than I thought it was going to be. Last edited by Ceej; 07-06-2008 at 01:37 AM.. |

I saw Lars and the Real Girl tonight. I was impressed. Very touching and pretty powerful. Highly recommended.

Just watched Requiem for a Dream - edited version. Intense movie, interesting visually, but really disturbing. I understand the unedited is even worse (yes, I've heard about the Jennifer Connolly scene). I've read quite a few people commenting about this movie the last couple of years, so I wanted to see it to form my own opinion. Problem is, I'm going to have to chew on it for a day or two to really come to terms with how good or bad it is.
