"The Dark Knight Rises"

So, I watched the Dark Knight Rises by myself this morning and lemme tell you, Bane, seriously gave me the creeps!!!! Like legit from the moment he came on the screen, I was totally freaked out. I also think that the whole shooting incident and the paranoia played a role but overall, he was thoroughly creepy... What I like about Christopher Nolan is that even though us as the audience don't necessary agree with (I was kinda hesitate on Anne Hathaway being cat woman...I love her and all, but come on, Michelle Pfiffier is the shit when it came to Catwoman...am I right or am I right?? ...) he cast Anne very well and she somehow became Catwoman and I have to say, wow, I was very pleasantly surprised...it wasn't like I was watching Anne Hathaway, which is generally a good sign...she was good...I must say... The fight scene on the bridge, I thought that was really good and really intense. I was so rooting for batman (weren't we all ;)) The ending really made me literally go "oh my god!!" I absolutely did not see it coming.... at all!! I can't believe Marion Cotillard turned out to be a baddy...she's just so lovely, I was like "WHHHHHHHAT???" What I liked its that Christopher Nolan sorta changed his style...like with the whole Hans Zimmer music and intenseness all were totally toned down...I enjoyed that he changed but I like the old Nolan like with inception and the dark knight... Overall, it wasn't as good as the dark knight. I'm very glad I finally got to see it...

The Bourne Legacy

The Bourne Legacy

Okay, I have a secret. I am majorly in love with Jeremy Renner. After seeing him in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and the Avengers, my god I got it bad...and for the that reason, I saw the new Bourne movie; Bourne Legacy. Everytime he did something even remotely sexy, I gasped! And Yazmin rolled her eyes hahah he's always been in my mind but not it's ALL IN MY FACE hotness

I'm a huge fan of the franchise and was extremely apprehensive about a movie with no Matt Damon and no Jason Bourne. I like this movie franchise. I like the quick moments of intelligent thinking (I didn't like Rachel Weisz macking on my man...but got over it as I remembered she's married to Bond so it's not legit and serious ;)) but like I said, it's just not the same without Jason Bourne, and sad to say, I loved the fighting (rather sexy ;)) and it was cleverly tied and done but it was just good. And he wasn't naked....that I did not like ;) haha AND I was too distracted to eat anything, which is weird esp since thats one of my fave parts about going to the movies...

Since I've been watching the press, I watched interviews with Tony Gilroy (writer/director) and he said something really smart: any actor other actor that could have played Aaron Cross like Gosling or Gyllenhaal for example but he wanted someone not really know so they would forget Bourne is not in it...and let me tell you, it's PURE genius because it worked...

That's my opinion anyways :)
