Tagline: The hype was correct.

So I took myself out for an early holiday present. I went to go see Avatar before the holiday season. I had the night off, for once, and I just had to take the chance to see the movie before the New Year. I will be seeing this movie again to take in more of the subtle digital effects. This movie can be summed up to this:

Avatar ranks (IMDb) right up there; maybe better than The Dark Knight.

I went to the movies tonight with mom and sister to see The Blind Side and I left feeling that this movie might be the time Sandra Bullock is going to get her Oscar in her career. I know it’s a little early to talk about the Oscar’s since most of the other big movies from early this year and the holiday season aren’t out yet, she sure does have a chance to do some heavy hitting with this performance.

Movie is highly recommended.

Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

After now watching this DC comic movie right after the last one I saw, I was not as impressed as I was when I finished the movie. The story line again is right from the comic, but I don’t think it had the same strength as Wonder Women and Green Lateran had.

The animation style was completely different from the previous two and I think that made me disgust through out the movie, but the story line and the voice acting was good bringing back the original Batman/Superman Animated Series cast members.

The movie was still go overall, however it wasn’t the best one of the series. With the movie you get a small Batman figurine with the movie and the large amount of bonus features on the disc include four Batman/Superman episodes from Justice League Unlimited vs. Lex Luthor and two episodes from the Superman Animated Series that both have Batman crossover stories.

I saw Surrogates at the movies a few nights ago and this movie theme is very much like Battlestar Galactica where robots are the principal focus and that the human race now depends on their survival to be able to operate. There is a faction that is against the ‘robots’ and the movie centers around a weapon that can defeat the surrogate machines.

I recently got and saw this movie. It’s an animated movie featuring around of course the Green Lantern, Hal Jordon. Just like it’s two counterparts, Batman: Gotham Knights and Wonder Women two other animated features by DC comics, this one was just as good as the other two.

All three movies have the ‘real’ cartoon look with many of the cartoon enhancements that Justice League Unlimited had in the ending of the series. The character animation was superb. Without realizing that I never posted a review on the Wonder Women animated film, going to do them both right now.

I watched G.I. Joe last night. I liked it a lot, but the film could have used better acting. A lot of the lines were cookie cut from the comics which are good for comics. Not movies since they are supposed to be free-following dialog between the characters.

Dennis Quad, who plays General Hawk, lines where very “stale” and had no “meaning” to them. Other than that the movie was good. The cinematography seems like it was also not fluid. Now like every comic movie, the movie did set it self up for more squeals, but the overall film could have been done better.

Oh yeah. The women in this movie were just HOT! Rachel Nichols and Sienna Miller can come haunt me anytime.

Benjamin Button is another movie I just watched. After bashing the movie on the Battlestar Forum and since my sister had to watch it for a class, I watched it at the same time. The first movie that I thought of that compares to this is Big Fish. Where the son of a dying old man tells his story of his adventures as the movies flashes back to his life on his adventures.

So what compares with this on is that Brad Pitt character goes from older in a young mans body to and old person in a young body while the girl he met is on her death bed with her grand daughter. The girl in the death bed is played by her “younger” self in the flashbacks. The movie explorers the dynamics between how people view people at an old age vs. young age.

I truly doubted the movies characteristics. This movie was really good. Very moving.
