The Tim Burton version of Catwoman (Batman Returns) is brilliant cinema.
"Meooooooow." BOOM!

I just made a weird casting connection tonight.
The mob boss in Boondock Saints who is on trial at the end is Chloe's husband in 24. Weird.

I just watched Defiance and The International on DVD. Pretty decent flicks, worth a rental. And two of my favorite actors right now in the lead, with Daniel Craig and Clive Owen. Also a big fan of Naomi Watts (The International) in a Diane Lane sort of way.

You like Clive Owen? I mean he's OK, but all I can think about is that GOD AWFUL King Arthur movie. Is Children of Men any good? |

Very good, dystopian, P.C., but I have a soft heart for painstakingly choreographed set pieces, and this has some of the best since Apocalypse Now.
I won't spoil you by outlining them, suffice it to say there are a couple of extended scenes where you'll be completely immersed and scared to death, and not in a 'Nightmare on Elm Street' way but in a 'how the eff do they survive this' way. Very immediate and gripping, and very not-CGI [though there surely were some CGI touchups, it's as far from Transformers/Speed Racer as you can get].

The International sucked. Poor dialogue and silly storylines.

I think of Clive in both Inside Man and Children of Men, both pretty good flicks. |

If there ever was a movie that was purely mediocre - that defined the word, in fact - it would be Body of Lies.

I watched Taken tonight. Not bad. Not quite what I thought it would , but I'm not quite sure exactly what I was expecting anyway. I liked it.
