Batman begins. Probably the best movie of all time.

10 times? Bootleg viewings shouldn't count, Jenny. Ha! The scene where he is on the Bat Pod (motorcycle), right after he crashes through the glass, that's my train station he drives through.

It really is very good. The one time a movie with big hype lived up to expectations.

A movie is still a movie.

"How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" (a title that describes me pretty well) with Simon Pegg (from Run Fatboy Run; he will be Scotty in the next Star Trek). Had some good funny moments but maybe not as much as I'd hoped for.

I saw "Step Brothers."

It had its funny moments, but not something I'd likely watch again.

Batman the Dark Knight

Did you see the chase scene through Lower Wacker Drive in this one? Awesome! If you didn't see it, go check it out! Not only is it a good quality chase scene, but it's right in our hometown!

A lot of location shooting was done here including some footage shot in true IMAX. Batman Begins shot here as well.

An American Crime. For those of you who haven't heard of it, because I didn't before my sister brought it home, heres a little plot line for you.

An American Crime is a 2007 crime-drama film based on the true story of the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens by Indianapolis housewife Gertrude Baniszewski.

For more info on the movie... An American Crime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm still waiting to see "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Gurr.

Last night the bf put on the deleted "Click" scenes I missed, haha. Tonight I'm going to pop in "Ocean's 12" in honor of the Vegas trip we just booked!

Flash of Genius
With Greg Kinnear. True story of the guy who invented and patented the intermittent windshield wiper, demo'd it for Ford only to have them build essentially the same thing without paying. He spent years suing them before finally winning a big settlement from Ford and other makes. Good movie.

One funny error: He realizes his invention has been stolen when he sees cars on the road with wipers going intermittently. But the scene is shot in pouring rain. In pouring rain you don't use the intermittent feature!

Frankly, IMHO Ford was right and he was wrong. I haven't looked it up but I believe his invention was not for intermittent wipers in general (probably an obvious enough idea) but how to implement them electronically. From what I gather from the movie he created a circuit with a capacitor, resistor, and transistor. Um...there is nothing original about that. R/C networks are how pretty much anyone would create a timing delay in the analog (non digital) realm. So I don't really think that patent should have been granted. But I've seen USPTO grant other patents that made little sense to me either.

The new Coen Brothers film. Very good and very funny and not as dumb as you might think from commercials and trailers.
