Movie Reviews

So, the weekend of the 24th of July rocked because I finally got to see the new X-Files movie.

Jason and I took our niece Kala with us. To quote her words, "It was creepy and cool!" It was such a wonderful thing for all of the fans to see. The setting was six years after season 9 of the television series ended. What were Scully and Mulder up to? Was he still chasing little green men? Were they together? Were they tied up with the F.B.I. anymore? The movie will answer these questons and more. I thought it was fantabulous!!! It gets a 5/5 stars from me. There are all kinds of nods to the series like the ceiling in Mulder's home office, who comes to his rescue towards the end of the movie, sunflower seeds, etc.

I listened to an interview given my Chris Carter who said that a possible 3rd movie would most likley come out in 2012, when the Alien Invasion was said to have begun. This information can be grasped from the series.

Consequently, I now have season 1 & 2 on DVD thanks to Wal-Mart for having such a killer price on them. I hope to get the 7 seasons before the year is out. Then I can just give away everything I recorded on VHS. Any takers?

Batman: The Dark Knight 5/5

Jason and I went with our friend Joe last night to see the new Batman film. I had heard several reviews from friends and was very eager to see it. It did not disappoint. Wow, was the joker whacked!! I thought it was an interesting look at humanity from a lot of different angles. I can't wait to talk with my friend Susie about it.

I think Heath Ledger did an amazing job playing the joker. It was dark and scary and sad and funny all at the same time. I would not want to be in Batman's shoes. He sure has a lot to consider. I would suggest seeing it but it's not for children under 13. A lot of senseless violence but not nudity or language.
