A Real Cut-up

Jimmy shows up and the audience is gasping as he produces bone claws from between his knuckles. They're not the antiseptic, gleaming "adamantium" we were expecting. Then we are all asking, 'So how did Wolverine get his name and that wonderful metal skeleton?' "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" answers those questions and lends a few other mutants to the scene to round out a popcorn popping summer movie. Lots of cameos and glib "one-liners" lead up to a fairly interesting final confrontation. Grab a few friends, a couple of hours to spare, and see "Wolverine."
Yes, I recommend this movie.

"The Dark Knight" rips your eyes open even when you think it might be over. The pacing and "hand-held camera" look of this movie lets a viewer be less of a spectator and more of a wartime journalist. Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger excel at recreating one of the most dynamic hero-villain foils in comic books. They disappear into their roles and bring out the frustration and sheer madness of being self-made larger than life individuals. The combat, chase, and interrogation scenes look and sound more like a gritty crime drama than a slick superhero movie. This that allows a viewer to watch "The Dark Knight" without the pressure of knowing the comic book history and instead focus on the immediate danger that permeates the whole movie. Fans of thrillers, action, superhero, and ensemble movies will not be disappointed. Watch "The Dark Knight" and see what it is like to live in a world where madness and idealism are not so far apart.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
