Movie Review: Public Enemies

Boring.

Movie Review: Dark Knight

Definitely the best movie in the past... 3 years? IMAX didn't add much to the experience though.

A little bit more: most people I've talked to about it (ummm... 2 grad students and 1 blog?) thought the movie was overhyped and didn't live up to the hype. I liked it a lot, and I never saw a single preview. Lesson? Don't see previews.

Movie Review: Hancock

Saw Hancock on Tuesday. Basically, as hinted at by friends, didn't live up to expectations. The funny quit early, and they tried to insert some 'dark superhero movie' into it in the second half. From the ads, and the presence of Jason Bateman & his character, this was inappropriate. Not a great movie, stick to the Dark Knight.

Movie Review: The Namesake

The Namesake was pretty damned boring. The rich white girl might have been flaky and a touch rich-bitchy, but she was attractive, she loved him, and she did nothing wrong except perhaps out of ignorance. Coming of age stories like this one are dumb and take away my respect for ultraconservative, traditional cultures.

The one thing I can really say for the movie, though, is that it had awesome music. Federico Aubele's Postales showed up at one point, and there was another techno/ambient style song I couldn't pin down.
