Guess what? I got to watch The Dark Knight yesterday! I watched it at an iMax theather in downtown Des Moines! Hey hey, some part of the film is specially filmed for iMax, so it's of course worth it watching at an iMax theather, don't think so? =p
Anyway, there won't be any spoiler here. It is a very good movie, and it surely lived up to its hype. Hey, the queue to enter the theather started building an hour before the show! Another thing, tickets are sold out in almost all cinema here! That's how many people watching it. Amazing. And I must say this iMax experience is way better than the first one I had in Omaha. Lol!!
I must say this movie deserve 4.5 stars, or maybe 4.8 stars, out of a 5 stars scale. Yes, it is truly a good movie, one worth watching. Heck, the whole theather clapped once the movie ended. Everyone was in awe how good the movie is!! Go watch it for yourself, don't wait till they stop screening it! Dig up your piggy banks and look under your couch for money if you have to, just make sure you watch it at the cinema, or a surround sound home theather system! =p
Truly a good movie. And now let us all remember the person who gave his all for this movie, Heath Ledger.

Ironman
I think I missed out a movie review on this show. I happened to watch Ironman on the day it was released. I guess too much of assignments and finals coming up, that's why I didn't write a review on this movie. Well, since it is so late, this post will contain spoiler. Don't read if you intent to watch the movie! =p
This movie set out by showing this successful guy making high-tech weapons for the US government. Then he went over to the Middle-East to showcase his latest and most powerful bomb, or superweapon I should say, the Jericho. It was broadcasted live on TV, and the whole world knew about it. It was a successful broadcast, and its main purpose is to cast fear to enemies.
While on his way back, his convoy was delibrately ambushed. Admist all the chaos, he found himself staring at his very own company's bomb before it served its purposed in front of him. Fortunately, he was saved by another specialist. But, due to the nature of that bomb, his body is contaminated with metal shrapnels. In order to save him, this specialist created a 'heart' for him, a 'heart' that will hold the metal shrapnels in place in order for him to survive.
When he woke up, the heart was already planted in him. After some explanation, he and the specialist became allies. Forced by the commander who bought his company's weapons, he agreed to make the Jericho. Yes, it is a disguise. He secretly made himself a suit of armor, armed with a flame thrower, and able to fly with booster on the armor's feet.
Sadly, to escape, the specialist sacrificed himself. With all the sound effects and screen effects, Ironman was born. He destroyed the whole hideout of the terrorist group, and started to fly out of the area. Well, it wasn't tested before, so I should say it didn't flew very well, which was quite a funny sight.
After he got back to US, he decided to stop making weapons. Of course, his company's board was not happy. He went on with his decision, and secretly in his underground lab, he continue to refine his suit, his Ironman.
Able to get whatever technology he needed, he successfully created Ironman. He flew back to the Middle East, destroyed the whole terrorist camp, and met two Raptors on his way back. Needless to say, he came home safely, and that is when Ironman is near perfection.
Well, guess who is selling the weapons to the terrorist? Yeap, definitely the company's partner. Profit. Which wide-eyed monster don't go after profit? After he found out this truth, he was angered and he continued to add power to Ironman. Meanwhile, the suit which he made during his escape was found by the terrorist leader and later made its way to the traitor. Making that junk more powerful, making it a more sophisticated weapon, and making it stand against Ironman was what the traitor did.
The fight was nice, though as usual, good guys win in the movies. Well, being overpowered, Ironman can only outwit his opponent. With a little help from his beloved secretary, evil is being destroyed by a burst of technology itself.
With all the fight going on in the city and a crescendo finale to the fight, it's to no suprise that the press, also known as paparazzi, was interested. Headlines of the fight came out, with the name Ironman splash over the newspapers. After reading the papers, he thought the name Ironman was perfect. Being told to hide the truth and given alibis, he stood facing the press. He was asked: "Can you tell me what happened in your power plant last night? Are you involved in the fight? Are you Ironman?" After a little thought, he said:
"As a matter of fact, I AM Ironman!"
What a way to end the show. A line to remember, a line which enables a sequel if they consider making one, and a line which I call killer line. =p I had say this movie is worth 4 stars out of 5 stars as well. Considering the fact that I just wrote another movie review about 45 minutes ago, these two movies stand out for itself, and certainly have its own moment. A great movie, and a movie worth watching another time.
Now, if only I have the chance to catch the next most anticipate movie... The Dark Knight anyone? =p

Wanted!
Time for some movie review again! Finally, after so long, I managed to get myself a chance to the cinema again. Sigh, the trouble of not having a car! Anyway, this time around I watched Wanted.
The movie tells about a guy, just like me and you and everyone else, pathetic (quoted from the movie!), who have a chance to change his life. A group of people who are born-to-be-assassins found this guy, whom his father happens to be one of them. This group of people call themselves the Fraternity. They go by a code of fate, killing whoever the code tells them to.
Well, I can't and won't tell the whole story here. It is well worth the money for you to head over to the cinema to watch this movie. But, as the trailer did show, people of the Fraternity do know how to curve a bullet and hit the bull's eye! That is just a simple imagination of the producer, yet it managed to produce a huge effect on screen.
This movie also have a lot of - what I call - killer line. And most definitely, they saved the best to the last! Haha... I give this movie 4 stars out of 5 stars, and trust my word, head over to the cinema near you and feast your eyes with this movie. Lol. Adioz! =)
Six weeks ago I was a normal guy, stupid and pathetic, just like you....... I have taken control of my life. So, what the fuck have you done lately?
