Slow movie week

Batman the Dark Knight Rises
Just Saying the title you can here the intense music in the back of your head. I've been waiting anxiously to go see this one because I love Christian Bale movies and its Freakin Batman! Added bonus of Christopher Nolan Directed and wrote for the movie (Inception was awesome).
Overall I'm going to say go see this movie, its Freakin Batman! But overall I hated the movie and left calling lame sauce. I will go into some of the reason I disliked it and I will admit part of the dislike might have come from the fact that it is the end of the trilogy. But on to more concrete top 10 complaints, welcome to the Spoiler section..
** Spoiler Alert**
1) I didn't like the fact that our hero has been lying low and not seen for 8 years at the beginning of this film. Not only would it be suspicious that Batman and Bruce Wayne disappeared and were never seen again starting at the same time. But Bruce did keep up pretenses for his family name.
2) Catwoman was a secretary in the comic not a ... I'm pretty sure a Whore
3) Alfred's abandonment seemed.. out of place. It is possible to voice disapproval and not abandon a person.
4) Wayne enterprises went almost bust and Bruce didn't know anything about it?
5) Are you really telling me Miranda came to town at least 8 years ago plotting revenge but didn't really get going on any of it for 8 years while Bruce could quietly hide out
6) Bane said he was born into hell and never saw the sun until he was a grown man.. But the only child ever born in hell was the child of Ra's Al Ghul, whom is not Bane
7) Really Miranda is all evil seeking revenge but yet has sex with Bruce Wayne? The argument that she needed is trust to get access to the bomb doesn't work, she already had all that.
8) Really the Cop Orphan knew Bruce Wayne was batman when Bruce visited the children's home? How young is this cop suppose to be if he was still in the orphan home when batman showed up.
9) Speaking of the Cop Blake, Really his legal name is Robin? Well he was not in the circus and his parents died at different time.
10) So Batman fakes his own death, after blowing his secret identity to almost everyone in the film and runs off to have his happy life with catwoman the reformed whore? It just doesn't fit to me, nor leaving all his bat gear to Robin, who is what going to be the new batman? Blah
oh and here is number 11. Just for good measure, So Batman is off in the desert prison and City goes to crap and no one is allowed off or onto the city. Here is my question with all the Bat gear in the city and Batman out of the city How did he get back into the city to kill the bad guys??!!

To Rome with Love
Sunday we went to go see To Rome with Love. I have always been a Woody Allen fan. Unfortunately alot of his more recent films have been absolute rubbish (examples like Melinda and Melinda). Last years film Midnight in Paris was wonderful and I am happy to say I was not disappointed in this years.
To Rome with Love follows the story of several people in Rome. One is an American girl visiting Rome and her colorful parents. There is a common worker that wakes up and finds himself famous. (His story line was one of my favorites because of the meaning and the importance "famous" people in society). Another character is a Funeral director that has deeply hidden dreams of being an Opera star. The Final main character is an architect that is revisiting his past 30 years ago when he was a young student.
It was a great film and I can't wait to add it to my collection. Good Job Woody Allen

5 Year Engagement
So I saw a movie tonight. I like Jason Segal and i've really liked Emily Blunt ever since Young Victoria. I have to say, instead of the Five year engagement they should have called it feels like five years of your life you will never get back.
I think I was drawn in by the preview. The preview was all the best snippets of the movie, ok thats not quite true. I really liked the ending and not just because it you know, Ended. The entire middle of the movie was just long and pointless. Also not to be a prude, but all the constant sex was just not necessary. Or the language. I'm ok with the language, unless its constant and has no point. I really felt that it didn't fit and they were just saying it to say it.
In conclusion if you have urges to see it, just watch the preview and go rent a good movie

Welcome Back Movie Fans!
So long time see.. also my bad. I have not been watching as many movies lately. My very little free time has been being taken up by Walking Dead, Dr Who and Raising Hope. Also I recommend all of the above. I did FINALLY on Sunday watched a movie. I'll admit I have wanted to watch it for Alan Tudyk, whom many of you will know from FIREFLY. Anyways, here you go.Tucker & Dale vs Evil is not your typical horror movie, its more a gore movie but well its freakin Hilarious. Premise is that Tucker & Dale are big hillbillies that are a little misunderstood. College Kids (yes they refer to the whole group as college kids) believe that the hillbillies are trying to kill them. So the body count piles up, but not because of crazed hillbillies. Its very funny, some of it gets a little far fetched but still funny.
**Spoiler Alert that my fellow browncoats would agree with me on**
Towards the end when Tucker is all beat up leaning against a tree, I was dying to here him say "i am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar" and actually while i'm on spoiler alert here. I loved when the guys are talking to the sheriff and the sitting down to tea.
******
Anyways worth a laugh and its freakin Alan Tudyk!! Watch it, you know you want to

The Muppets!
For my Birthday this year I took my nephew to see The Muppets. I must admit that I don't remember alot about the muppets. I vaguely remember watching the muppet babies and I had this amazingly awesome Muppets Commadore 64 game, but I don't remember the movies.With that being said... I really liked it. All the cameo appearances were great and it was fun to pick the people out. I think that its a good movie for the whole family, Silly stuff for the kids while still having jokes for the adults. Mild spoiler here** I was very amused with the Jimmy Carter reference.
