Mon, 21 Jul 2008 @ 21:39 || Weekend DVDs || Movies

Watched 3 DVDs this weekend. Not sure when we had the time, as I was in the office fighting with a windows server.

Flags of our Fathers

Shawn:
Shane:

This was the first of Clint Eastwood's Iwo Jima movies. We had watched "Letters from Iwo Jima" a while ago. Maybe watching them out of order warped our judgment, but we didn't care for this movie. It had no coherent story, it jumped around in time way too much and was pretty boring at times.


Batman: Gotham Knight

Shawn:
Shane:

This was a series of animated stories. Overall, not that exciting and the different graphic styles were interesting. It gets 3 treasures, because hey, it's Batman.


24: Season 6 - Disk 1

Shawn:
Shane:

Jack Bauer could almost be Batman. However Batman could kick his ass, but hey, he's Batman. So far this season looks good. Lots of new actors in CTU, most will probably die if seasons 1-5 taught us anything. The cliff hanger at the end of this DVD was very good and I can't wait for the next DVD.

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 @ 21:13 || New Feature || National

This has been bugging me for a while, probably a few years. Stupid National Days. It seems every day is National something day. Today was National Junk Food Day. Does Junk Food really need a day, and what does this really mean?

This Sunday was National Ice Cream Day and National Moon day. We did have Ice Cream on Sunday, but didn't do anything Moon related so I guess I feel bad for dissing the Moon.

Tomorrow is National Hammock day, and although I own a hammock, I need to go to work, I also lack two trees close (and strong enough) together to hang the hammock.

So from now on, and when I remember, or I think it's funny I'll be doing a public service and complain about which National day it is.

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 @ 17:23 || Batman || Movies

Saw Batman today. Went into work and nothing was happening, the weekend was very stressful, so I took the afternoon off.

The Dark Knight

Shawn:
Shane:

My only complaints; the movie was a little long, and some kid was kicking the back of my chair. This was a great movie, a must see for all normal people. For non-normals, who don't like Batman, go see that abba movie.
