Saw The Dark Knight Rises over the weekend. Really enjoyed it although there were some pretty far-reaching scenes (as to be expected with a superhero movie). Can't wait to see the sequel...

I watched it recently too. Loved it, although I can't imagine being a police officer trapped underground for months only to emerge fully hydrated and nourished and ready to beat down an army of convicts with the Bat Man.

^ Oh plus I had a hard time taking Bane seriously at first because to me he sounded like Will Ferrell imitating Sean Connery on Celebrity Jeopardy. But he turned out to be quite the badass villain.

^^^ The annoying aspect of Bane was that he obviously was not talking and was voiced-over for the production. It would have been nice to see his body movements actually match up with his talking...

^^ I felt the same way about Darth Vader.

As a side note, Bane was played by Tom Hardy. A good one to watch that he was in is "Warrior"...just watched it again the other night. It's based on MMA so it's got some good action but it's also got some life/family issues in there as well.

Darrell Hammond was the guy that did Connery.

wife and i went and saw This is 40 last night, for anyone with a kid 12 or over I think this movie is for you.

What was odd is that I think the wife and I were the only people in the theater actually any where closely to being actually 40.... I think we were the only people laughing through the whole thing..

I do have to say I think this movie was a pretty close reflection on my marriage, family life, relationship with parents, etc.. we laughed our asses off but thought on the way home that either someone made a movie about just our life, or maybe the RG family isnt as fucked up as we thought we were! and the rest of the world has similar issues...

Wife and I saw this over the break and while we aren't 40 (or even 30) we still related. We kept looking at each other and laughing since we could see ourselves in most of those situations.

took minisnick yesterday to see Monsters Inc in 3D...it was his first movie theater experience. He actually kept the glasses on the entire time. It was cool in 3D, the door warehouse scene was crazy with the glasses, you could actually feel the depth of scence

Saw Rosewood Lane...kind of a sleeper thriller, I'd never heard of that turned out to be pretty good.

Moneyball turned out to be pretty darn good, too.

Saw Bridesmaids over the holiday break. Holy hell that's a funny movie.

Saw that one over the break as well. I really enjoyed it.

You don't have to be a baseball fan either (I'm not) to enjoy it.

Saw the preview for the new wizard of oz movie...basically the back story on the wizard. Looked interesting.

I've seen Wicked twice. Once in Chicago and once in London...the adlib humor was better in the london production, but the Actress for wicked witch was better in the chicago production.

 

[Judowolf PE]

Snick, I'm not sure if you've been to the Fox in STL, but we absolutely love it. Bought the wife season tickets last year for our anniversary, makes for a nice 'date" night about once a month

Argh, right. It didn't sit right after I typed it.

I saw the play in Minneapolis. I'm typically not interested in plays but I thought the production was excellent. If the new movie matches the the content of the play with some Hollywood special effects, it will be great. The play was the backstory of the witch though. As written above in snick's post, is it the backstory of the actual wizard in the wizard of oz?
