Movies I’ve Seen #1
July 30, 2008
Some movies I’ve seen recently:
The Dark Knight – It’s not just fluff – Heath Ledger really IS an amazing Joker. The movie was epic, which means it was long. Batman sort of felt like an afterthought in the flick, but I’m okay with that – I couldn’t handle his deep voice whenever he was suited up. I understood the logic behind it, but it still made me laugh. But the Joker… that was just creepy. Creepy enough to make me want to see it again.
The Ruins – Rented this. It’s really bad. Don’t watch it. But it IS a prime example of the depravity of the human spirit that chooses to rear its ugly head every now and then. The “sense of life,” to borrow from Ayn Rand, of this film is nothing but death and chaos. No redemptive value at all.
The Music Within – Amazing movie about a deaf guy who works to help disabled people get jobs. Loved it.
The Last Legion – I love Arthurian lore. I did not love this movie. In fact, I didn’t even finish it. Come on, Colin Firth. What were you thinking?
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford - LOVED this movie. The cinematography was great. It’s long, but it’s worth it.
There Will Be Blood – Loved this as well. Just a good film.
