    This was part 2 of seeing the whole trilogy in theaters in one day for Batman Day. I will once again defer more in-depth thoughts to previous reviews and want to reiterate how spoiled I am in terms of my previous imax experience being lightyears above this one yet still absolutely enjoying this one so so much. 

    It’s insane just how incredible this movie is. The ending gives me chills everytime. Heath Ledger gives arguably one of the best performances…

  • Batman Begins

    So for Batman Day on Saturday the AMC by me showed the entire trilogy with about 45 minutes in between each movie. So obviously I couldn’t pass this up. It also rained on my drive in which helped set the tone. 

    I’m not going to expound on this greatly because I’ve done that in previous reviews & my goal was to just sit back & enjoy this as much as possible. But I will say the dialogue & callbacks in this are funnier…

    So I have a feeling this is going to be contrary to a large majority of opinions once the wide release comes, but I fricken loved this. I’m not sure if seeing this on a big screen vs at home had anything to do with it, but this was just a bada** mindless action movie. Led by a strong trio of Gosling, Evans, & de Armas, solid action sequences, huge set designs & locations, & a bonus of a rollicking score to go…

    Barton Fink

    ★★★★½

    Hot damn I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. 

    My favorite part about this has to be the script. So brilliantly witty. I got such a big kick out of the whole “meta” self-obsessed writer thing. The scene where Fink is telling Mudnt about how most writers ignore the common people as Mudnt is desperately trying to interject with stories about the common people. I mean just gold. 
    And the dramatic turn this movie took seventy…
