Updates: Danger!

Well, I was reading, and I finished a lot of books, and while I was reviewing them, I got lost.
So there are two book log posts.
One on reviews.
One on . . . lots of else.

Enjoy.

BTW- saw Batman Begins last night, and all in all, I think it rocked. Bale didn't mess up the role as far as I'm concerned, and Katie did her job without trying to steal the show, like a certain Mary Jane actor... >:o
Lots of action, lots of awesome special effects (no overbearing CG touch to it- very nice!), presence of storyline and continuity, Scarecrow was great when he had his mask on. I really have no complaints. I'm no purist though. I have to agree with Aerie-

I'm just going to forget about those movies done by that guy that wasn't Burton, okay? They don't exist. Burton can have his own little funky dark and unusual corner of the Batman universe because what he did worked to a degree, but this, this, this was MAGIC, this was everything a Batman movie should be, it wasn't about the special effects or the wow and the dazzle it was dark and gritty and absolutely sheerly perfectly perfect why are you still reading this GO SEE THE MOVIE NOW.

Hehehe.

On the trailers before the movie-
Why no new Harry Potter trailer? It IS A WB film. The present trailer is almost three months old.
What crack head at Disney let the idea that City of Heroes crossed with Spy Kids was a good idea? Sky High is a middle schooler flick if they don't mind the heavy cheez-wiz factor. I question the sanity of putting a Disney channel movie on the big screen.

Second. I don't understand Serenity. From all looks I have given it- it looks like a cross between Battle Angel Alita and the Fifth Element with maybe a touch of Starship Troopers. Also it seemed to have some extreme bad acting kicking on the hero role. The last time I saw acting delivered with such cheezy lack of passion was when one of the later episodes of Angel was on TV. When did being a strong and grizzled character equate with don't try to act, just deliver your lines and look tough. And the silent creepy girl semi-heroine thing is kinda played out. In all countries of origin. My husband tells me this is a sacred movie to those who followed the tv show that was abruptly canceled. He calls it a thank-you to the fans. Very sweet, but I didn't see it, and I'm not interested or understanding the huge following behind it. Very very odd.
