Movie Night Pick - The Dark Knight

source

As you can see, I'm more a fan of the Joker than Batman in this movie. Actually he is the main reason I bought the DVD, but the reason The Dark Knight was listed as a Movie Night Pick is the first scene. Don't remember the scene? Well this should give you a reminder:

It's sad that Heath Ledger died, he was a great actor as he was able to pull this character off so well that you saw pass the fact that it was Heath Ledger, you saw the Joker and the Joker drove this movie.

What I'm loving:

• The action, they went all out with the action;
• The Joker
• Morgan Freeman, cool with strong moral ethics; I loved how he handled the worker who was going to snitch
• The vehicles were sexy;
• The Joker's humour;

Movie Night Pick - Fast Five

Out of all the Fast & the Furious films, I have only seen two from start to finish, The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift and Fast Five. I will be honest, I did like both movies but I liked Fast Five more. Actually the only thing I liked about Tokyo Drift was the Asian guy who was in the original movies. I know I should be hating on these movies because the portray women as eye candy with the shortest and tightest of clothing, but then the male eye candy makes of for it.

What I find funny is the way that these characters come back to life, the Asian guy died in Tokyo Drift, but there he was healthy and cool in Fast Five. Then in the new movie the Girl Fight chica comes back to life after dying in the Fast and the Furious 4. I can't wait to see what spin they put on her death because in this movie they acknowledged that she was dead.

Anyhoo, back to this movie night pick:

What I'm loving:

• The action, they went all out with the action;
• The actors, partly for their acting, partly for their je ne sait quoi;
• The cars, I won't even go into them because I would need a whole post;
• The twist in the story line, it kept the movie going;
• The scenes of Brazil, which was both gritty and beautiful;

Movie Night Pick - Speed

Hi all, let me start off by saying I am a huge movie buff and I was thinking to myself:

"Self, why don't we have a movie night pick based on transportation? And why don't we start it off with the 1994 blockbuster Speed?"

 I am not going to lie, I am a Sandra Bullock fan and when this movie came out I was loving it. But you know what? You know when you remember something from your child fondly and then you watch it now only to feel old or wonder what you were thinking. I almost feel the same about this movie, check out the trailer:



What I'm loving:

• The action sequences,
• The actors: Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels (Dumb and Dumber)
• The cheesy lines, especially the last line 
• The fact that this was a great example of what a 90's action was

 I can appreciate action movies now because this shows what it was like back then and they have come a long way. Just imagine almost 20 years ago this was a big budget movie, now compare it to Fast Five or the Avengers. I'm just saying. For more info on Speed, click here.

P.S.
If Keanu Reeves was such a bad actor, why come he gets the big movies, i.e. Speed, The Matrix. I'm just saying. Have a great weekend.
