Movies

When I first heard about The Dark Knight I did not think anything of it. The last Batman movie in my eyes was horrible. I could not stand it and figured this new movie would not be any different. I am woman enough to say that I was so wrong! So horribly wrong! I watched this movie and loved it! They did a really good job with this movie and I have to say that I was so surprised. Of course I definitely want The Dark Knight on DVD to add to my small collection of films that strike my fancy!

It is under twenty dollars and that isn't even on sale or anything. I believe for this movie it is a great deal! I could buy it as a gift for my husband and just take it! Why not? He enjoyed the movie just as much as I did. He has probably gotten me gifts like that! Nah, I will just get it for myself. I know this was a huge hit when it came out in the theaters though. It is an awesome movie. Who agrees?

Yesterday we downloaded and watched The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Well, okay I watched it and Jamie tolerated it. I liked the first movie and figured this one would have been just as good. I liked it, don't get me wrong but it wasn't that great. It isn't a movie that I would love to watch again or run out and buy it on DVD. It did pass the time while I worked and the HDMI in it was well done. I just don't think it was as good as the first one.

Yesterday when I woke up at 3 in the morning with indigestion for the millionth time this month I decided to just stay up. I dropped my cards for Entrecard and updated some of my websites. By the time six in the morning rolled around I had most of the stuff I needed to get done, done. So I decided to watch a movie. After trying to decide between The Other Boleyn Girl and Baby Mama I choose to watch The Other Boleyn Girl. This is a movie that is set back when Henry VIII was King of England. It starred Natalie Portamn, Scarlett Johansson, and Eric Bana. The three of them had such great chemistry that it brought a lot to the movie.

The movie moved along wonderfully and never was dull. During it you always wondered what was going to happen and who was going to screw over who and how. If you know the story of Anne Boleyn then you know how that aspect of it ends. I actually have books in a series about King Henry VIII but I stopped reading the first one. I actually want to find those books, dust them off and continue reading them. This movie peaked my interest in those stories once more. In fact this movie is really good and I would love to own it. I am glad I woke up with indigestion yesterday because if I hadn't I would not have watched that movie.
