Movies.

Within the past 2 weeks, we (the girlf and i) have caught 3 movies. Date Night, Kick-ass and Clash of the Titans. I'll give a review on each of them from memory.

Date Night:

This is a typical romance comedy, which isnt a bad thing. Why ruin a formula that works? The premise is a married couple whose lives have gotten boring and they steal a table from a couple only to get chased around the city by a gang and making the audience laugh. The show wasn't exactly laugh till you cry, but it was good humour.

There is one notable scene, which was the boat scene, which was hilarious!

And why should you catch the show? Because, there's James Franco, and there's an R8 that gets wrecked. Those 2 points are more than enough. So go catch it if you haven't.

Kick-ass:

The show is about this dude who isn't really anybody in school try and be a superhero without any real skills or powers. He's slightly successful until he gets noticed by 2 other masked vigilantes and subsequently by the city gang boss.

The show's really dark, but with great performances by Nicholas Cage and that 12 year old girl. Its as awesome as it can get. The fights are nicely choreographed and i'd watch it again when it comes out on dvd.

Clash of the Titans:

Centres around a greek demigod dude called Perseus and the usual greek god suspects, Zeus and friends with fiends like medusa and the kraken.

So this dude goes on a journey to avenge his foster family, falls in love with a rather hot greek chick, kills monsters and then finally banishing Hades back into the underworld.

Doesn't seem like much, but the whole show is a visual feast! Everything moves so fluidly. And compared to "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief", its less of a butcher fest by Hollywood.

Why you should catch it if you haven't? The pegasus' (pegasi for plural?) make it seem like the main character is on shrooms the entire time, with references to Harold and Kumar.

I'm looking forward to Iron Man so much, only 9 more days left!
