With me what made Batman Begins so good was that how he became Batman was so believable. I've never bought into radioactive spiders mutating someone (though I like the Spiderman movies just fine).

Battling superevil bad guys in superhero movies is never very realistic, so I don't really think about what's happening too much.

There was virtually no way I could dislike this movie. It involved my 2 favorite Batman storylines/villains: R'as Al Gul and The Scarecrow. And the implication that the Scarecrow will figure prominantly in at least the next installment makes me happy. It was an added bonus that it was a relatively well put together movie.

I didn't have a problem with the voodoo technology, but the chick making it into the quarantined area so easily kinda bugged.

As opposed to all of those other movies where she is horrendously ugly. ;)

Just watched Bend it like Beckham. (Vacation = catching up on my movie watching.)

It was great. Or, perhaps I should say brilliant.

I wish I could be more descriptive and analytical but right now I'm still basking in this "that was such an excellent movie" glow and I can't really manage that.

I love that movie! Isn't the Indian music great?

The soundtrack is wonderful! It features a couple of songs by the great Indian (but lives in London) DJ, Bally Sagoo as well as Packstani artist Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Punjabi singer Malkit Singh. Good stuff all around. I recommend all of the artists on the soundtrak with the exception of Victoria Beckham. I especally LOVE Bally Sagoo.

I like 'Jaan Pehechaan Ho' from 'Ghost World'. It's groovy.

A friend also got me hooked on 'Maahi Vei' from the film 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'.

:)

I LOVE Ghost World! Great soundtrack to that film.

I really do like Devil Got My Woman.

We watched the Last Wave tonight- hadn't seen it in years, but wow it was an interesting reminder of what Peter Wier was doing before he came to Hollywood. Seeing it again I see where David Lynch picked up some of his ability to make the ordinary distrubing.

Yes, Alfred did have a thing for blond bombshells!
