Mr. and Mrs Smith

Two of the hottest looking stars acting together in the same movie is bound to be interesting. This movie got mixed reviews from critics, so I put it off watching it right away. Pitt and Jolie play secret assasins who happen to marry each other and neither is aware of the other’s double life. They soon find out, and they go out to kill each other. This is a decent chick flick movie with with a spy/assassin story behind it. I would have to say Angelina Jolie is gorgeous in the movie and Brad Pitt plays his usual self. If you’re not into the action type movie you can at least watch it for the eye-candy.

Been busy

My blogs have been a little light for the past week and a half. I’ve been busy with work and going out :-D. I got a line up of CSI that I recorded but haven’t watched yet. I should be catching up on the current events and comics. As for the remaining week I’ll probably watch Mr and Mrs Smith, and on Friday I’ll be catching Land of the Dead.

Batman Begins

After relentless annoying sequels of the Batman movies I thought the series would never come back as it did when Tim Burton directed the first two Batman movies. Now the Dark Knight is brought back to life with Batman Begins.

This movie is a prequel to all the previous Batman movies. You’ll see how Bruce Wayne transform himself from an ordinary man (an extremely wealthy one that is) to the Dark Knight. The story is decent and the setting isn’t too dark. The action scenes are exceptional. The nit-picky thing I would say about the movie is that you never get to see the whole batsuit. You definitely see his cape and cowl and the upper portion of the chest. Maybe it adds to the shadowy persona, but it would still be nice to see the entire suit.

This is the best Batman movie to date that many of the true comic fans will appreciate and enjoy.

Without Limits

Distance running was something I picked up after high school. I never really like running anything farther than 200 meters. Sprints was something I excelled at but continuing it beyond high school was difficult. The lack of a track program at the University I attended didn’t help much. Distance running is competitive and opportunities to compete are available year round.

Without Limits is about the life of Steve Prefontaine. His short-lived life of running and the obstacles he faced is summed up in this movie. Prefontaine is a legend and during his time he broke and held many American records. Whether you’re and avid runner or a couch potato you’ll enjoy this movie. There was another Prefontaine movie which appropriately named “Prefontaine” that was released a year before. It shares the same story.
