Movies Reviews
Review for The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience - Must Go! - New Levels of Entertainment
Being an avid moviegoer, I have grow accustomed to the different genres and how they affect me each in their own respect. You go see an action film and know going in that the key sequences are designed to stir your visuals with crisply edited transitions and movements. The problem is that over time the average viewer will adapt to these formulas and thus the movie loses some of its desired effect. I have to start off saying that I could not wait to see The Dark Knight in the IMAX theater. I honestly try to lower my expectations so I can enjoy the film even if it is just fair. I had no choice on this occasion. On its own, the film is highly entertaining and engaging, but the added IMAX experience takes the viewer to a completely different viewpoint. The visuals create a ride experience that disorients the moviegoer in an incredibly positive way. It does not allow you to set yourself in a groove while watching the film and adjust. The ebb and flow is felt and not just watched. Awesome August 21, 2008
Review for Tropic Thunder - Go - Funny

Review for The Dark Knight - Must Go! - Is a Review needed?
I saw this movie, the second weekend it was out. I figured all of the reviews would be the same...Blah, Blah, Blah. So why write a review right away, or at all? (To up my review count) Go see the movie. It's a really good movie. I dont think its the best movie EVER (like some were saying), but probably one of the best movies to come out this year by far. My biggest pet peeve about the movie, was Batman's voice. It was too over the edge, and comical at times. I dont remember it being that bad in the first one. It will be interesting to see how they will try to top this movie. And how DC handles the rest of their up coming films..... August 20, 2008  Quotes of the Day
