Thanksgiving and James Bond

One of my favorite holidays has come again and I am enjoying it. I really like the 4 day weekend, along with lots of turkey to eat. We were with my family on Thanksgiving day and with Jen's family on the Saturday after. Both days were enjoyable with turkey and games shared at both. Our kids are now at an age where they do not need constant supervision and so we let them play and were able to enjoy ourselves with our family members.

On Friday went to see the new James Bond movie with my family. I was looking forward to it as I thought Casino Royal was a very good movie and wanted to see how it continued. But I was kind of disappointed. The movie was not bad, just not as good as Casino. We had to sit in the second row of the theater and so had difficulty in watching the full screen of action. The action was like the action in the Transformer movie. Difficult to see with the shaky camera and constant cuts between scenes. I don't like those kinds of movies. I was also disappointed with the ending as it did not seem to conclude the whole quantum plot point. This unknown organization was a large plot point, but they seemed to forget about it by the end of the movie. I know that they will most likely continue that plot point in future movies, but they should not ignore it either.

If you are a James Bond fan I certainly recommend seeing the movie, but it may be worth waiting until DVD.

Tomorrow concludes our relaxing holiday weekend. We put up Christmas decorations and now look forward to the Christmas festivities.

Those Gremilns are at it again.

If your like me, and I know I am. Then you really enjoyed the Gremlins movies of the 80s. Well a fan created his own Gremlins made movie where the Gremlins jump into other movies on your DVR. I loved it and so wanted to share it. I recommend that no one under 13 watch the first movie they jump into as it is the exorcist. Click the below URL to see the show.

The Batman movie is enthralling! (Spoiler free)

Wow. I had the chance to see an advance showing of the new Batman movie "The Dark Knight" tonight. I had to endure a sales pitch for some IT products, but it was totally worth it. I had very much enjoyed the last Batman movie and this one improved from the first. From the very beginning we see how this joker character works, and keeping with the theme of the movie, he is dark. He truly portrays how a dark, insane criminal master mind would think and act. It is too bad that Heath Ledger passed away and could not reprise the role in any future works.

All the other actors also performed very well in an extremely well written movie full of great visual effects. There were times in the movie when I was wowed by the well done graphics and computer images. I think what happened to each character was appropriate and look forward to seeing what happens in the next installment.

If you enjoy suspenseful movies, with great effects and are not turned off by scenes of extremely dramatic and adult themes. Then you must see this movie. I predict that it will be one of the top movies of the year, if not the top.

Have fun at the movies
