OnDemand

12:15 am

Charter’s OnDemand service was recently enabled at my apartment, and I love it. I already had all the movie channels but I rarely watch the movies because I don’t catch them when they start. That’s why I love OnDemand so much. I can watch tons of movies whenver I want, for free! (Well, for the price of my subscription to all the movie channels.) I was just about to cancel my movie channels because I never took advantage of them. Now because of OnDemand, I don’t mind paying for them. I’ve especially been into the Band of Brothers series from HBO. Good stuff!!

Batman Begins

8:50 pm

Batman BeginsWow, what a great movie. I’ve never been a huge fan of the Batman movies. Don’t get me wrong, they were good, just not great. Batman Begins beats them all by a mile. I think the big reason is that everything is portrayed so realistically. Every character seems like a real person, the events seem believable, and you can see everyone’s motives. You understand where Bruce Wayne is coming from, and you see why the villains believe in what they are trying to do. This movie does a great job getting you sucked into the storyline.

It looks like a sequel to Batman Begins is in the works. Read about it here or here. I am looking forward to it already!

Equilibrium

9:08 pm

EquilibriumI never heard of Equilibruim until I watched it on Showtime… and I was impressed! In order to eliminate all wars, a futuristic government forces people to take a medicine that supresses all emotions. Anyone who “feels” must be put to death. A good movie to make you think. The action scenes in the movie reminded me of The Matrix. The only problem I have with this movie is that sometimes the so-called “emotionless” people actually seem to show some emotions.

Grade: A-
