Me being a big Batman fan, I just took at look at the Batman Begins trailer. It wasn’t great, you don’t get much of a look at the Caped Crusader, but it does give you a taste for the story I suppose! Nice Batman logo! Oh and wget this link if you want to download the trailer in QuickTime format. That at least is friendlier than the wmv format to Mplayer but don’t forget to download the QuickTime codecs to play it!

Myself and Mel went to see Shaun of the Dead last night. What a blast! hehe. It’s a completely off the wall zombie movie, and much better than 28 Days later (OK, I’m possibly in the small minority who thinks that movie was crap!)
I absoluately loved the jokes and the dark humour! Early in the film, we burst out laughing as the two main characters, Shaun and Ed, bashed in the heads and mutilated 2 zombies that were in their back garden! I don’t remember hearing anyone else laugh (the rest of the audience was possibly shocked!) but it didn’t take them long to realise this was a spoof horror taking the mickey out of the genre!
There’s the small touches, like the supermarket-clerk zombie with her name tag on (Mary?), or the groom from the shop who’s lost an arm, or the zombie-boy who still kicks the ball..
And I love the ending. 🙂
Go see it, it’s a good ‘un!

This is a really nice animation! Relax for the 9 minutes this lasts and enjoy a feel-good movie.

Lars Keagan is an ordinary farmer who paints the most important moments of his life. We witness his artistic progress from infancy to old age as he reflects the dearest moments of his life.

Well, despite my expectations, or maybe because of them, I really enjoyed Matrix Revolutions this afternoon! Further proof that others in the theatre enjoyed it was the lack of cat calls, hissing and general hubub from the assorted kids seated around us.
It’s an action movie, through and through. The story gets in the way occasionally, but not for long (unlike Morpheus’ long speech in the second movie, most of the dialog scenes were thankfully short.)
Keanu still can’t act, and he’s comical in his “portrayal” of grave emotions. He did kick ass “doing his Superman thing” this time, which I found annoying and pointless in the previous movie.
I don’t need to tell you to go see it, you know you will anyway, but expect more of the same of movie 2 and you’ll be pleasantly surprised!
(Thank you Lou for correcting my spelling of Mr. Reeves’ first name!)

I’m going to see it on Saturday!

Just watched the trailer for the latest Matrix movie and I’m impressed! Then again, I was probably impressed by the previous trailer, but the film was a disappointment. I still can’t wait for November though! Go download the trailer now! (Warning! 48MB file!)
I just noticed – The Matrix must be partly set in Chicago – the subway train had the word “LOOP” on it! *grin*
