GI Joe- Rise of the Cobra

I enjoyed this better than I thought I would. For an over the top action movie it's not bad.

However, it did feature some of the most unconvincing Scottish accents I have ever heard.

I'd expect such from a Sommers film. I'm still waiting to see it sometime, since I loved the Mummy movies so much (minus the third-- ick...).

Just finished watching The Dark Knight. Pretty entertaining movie. Kept me awake despite there being a lot of dialogue and not much action. I had high expectations for this film, though the film didn't exactly reach them. Not something I'd jump at the chance to watch again, though, still, I found it to be a very, very good movie. Perhaps I would have found it more interesting if I was a bigger fan of Batman.

I watched Terminator Salvation on TV earlier, (really only because I remembered that Sam Worthington was in it.)

I think I see the Dark Knight in the same way as many critics see Avatar. I recognise it as a good movie but am a bit bemused by why it was so popular comapred other movies that went before.

Of course part of my problem is that I am a very lukewarm fan of batman at best.

I didn't really like the movie. However, not because the movie was bad, but because the post-apocalyptic word represented in the movie did not coincide with my perception of how that word would look when i watched T1 and T2.

The world was all wrong from my pov, and thus didn't appeal to me.

I suppose The Dark Knight did so well because of the large fanbase. To me, it was just another Batman movie; a very well made one, though not something spectacular or mind-blowing like Avatar. It may have been a more enjoyable movie if my expectations weren't so high.

Nah, The Dark Knight is up there in my top 10. I thought it was fantastically good... But then, I'm a Batman fan. I hated "Batman & Robin", though. Ick.

Last movie: Robin Hood. Not bad. Very different; very accurate with the history; not all about the ole' hero we know to "take from the rich and give to the poor"; more like "Robin Begins" (in reference to "Batman Begins" ). I liked it.

If you like reeaally historically accurate stuff, that's the movie to see. Don't expect it to be the normal story you usually think of when you think of Robin Hood.

Although I've been thinking about seeing "The Losers" as well.

I want to see both films. The last movie I saw (which was last night) was The Black Stallion. One of my favorite films as a kid (lol, typical girl in a horse phase), and seeing it again at 23, it's still good .

"[Caroll] Ballard's film, tautly edited by Robert Dalva and lushly photographed by Caleb Deschanel, has become one of the pinnacle achievements of family entertainment. Intelligent, simplistic, moving, and inspiring, it is a brilliant example of cinema's ability to be effective without relying on dialogue to tell the story" -rottentomatoes.com

^Well that's something I gotta see, then!

Last was "Lady in the Water"... cried at the end; it just gets to me, I don't care how many people hated it. I loved it.

EDIT: Last was "Lady in the Water"... again; finished just now. Cried even more this time; still got tears in my eyes.
