okidoki...first update in a while

Three cool movies this year:

Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy:
Sooo cool - nicely done and all those concerns about Mos Def turned out to be nothing. Pretty awesome film probably going to make a cool DVD. A bit disappointed though at the lack of any more showtune soundtracking other than the open but c'est la vie. 7/10

Batman Begins:
Nice. Looking good. Christopher Nolan as a dark, gritty, nasty Batman and the Batmobile with Hummer tyres...the way it should be. Bit disturbed though by the Tibetan training bit...possible crapness...but the quote from Bale that when he put on the batsuit he was more animal than man restores my faith.

and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory:
of course - this had to be in here sooner or later - f**king spectacular - finally the magical trio (Depp, Burton and Elfman) are together again and it looks sooo cool. Apparently Depp used Marilyn Manson as his inspiration for the role of Willy Wonka..sounds like Freaking Genius!

anyway - that's another post for now - see you when I'm bored again
