Just saw the new Harry Potter movie. I have to say that I have been very impressed with these movies. I love watching them. The characters are fun and the action is always so intense. Why is everything in the magic world always about life and death anyway?! Even there sporting events are potentially lethal and not just to the players! The people in the stands are just as susceptible to mortal danger as the contestants. I shall not write about any part of the movie so as not to spoil it for anyone reading this who will be seeing the film, just suffice to say it was great.
I must admit that my urge to see a noon showing of this film on it's opening day was not, however, because I love the series. Several sources reported that a very special teaser trailer would be attached to this movie and I wasn't disappointed. Superman Returns!!!! Obviously this is a big deal for me. To those of you whom I have shared my doubts and misgivings as to the potential disaster that this movie could be, after seeing even this smallest of previews I am feeling much more confident that DC Comics will at least do the character justice. Don't misunderstand, the potential for yet another bad translation of this character is still a very, and all too real, possibility. But having seen what little this clip reveals, I am finally able to put aside some of my fears. It will be an almost impossible task, in my opinion, to equal and/or top the wonderful piece of cinema that is Batman Begins. DC Comics has raised the bar for what superhero movies should be. Let's hope that this trend continues in the newest film starring the greatest hero of them all.
For those of you who haven't yet seen the preview, here is the link:

Congrats to Justin for winning tickets to the advanced screening of RENT. If anyone else won as well, congrats to you too. If anyone would like to see it again later in the week, let me know and we can try to set something up. I am really hoping to see it by the end of next week.
I've been playing the new Matrix game, Path of Neo. Really a fun game if you don't mind terrible cameral views half of the time. The controls are kinda hard to get used to, but once you get the general hang of it, it's a very entertaining game. You play through all three films as Neo and the story sidetracks at times to show things that didn't happen in the movies, but are still quite fun and they don't take away from they main story. I would like it even more if my Xbox wasn't a complete piece of crap and would actually let me get to the end of levels so the game would auto save before it locks up with it's damned "The disk you are using is dirty or damaged" message when I know there is NOTHING WRONG WITH MY DISK BECAUSE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY DISK I PLAY FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES!!!! YOU JUST SUCK XBOX!!!!
Sorry.... That just kinda slipped....
That's all for now. Up, up, and away! |
