Movie "Night"

It was really this afternoon, after work, but "movie afternoon" just sounds kind of stupid.

At any rate, Monica and I went to see a matinee showing of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen today after we both got off work. It's an awesome movie, and excellent soundtrack, and a great movie score! I would definitely see that movie again, if anyone is interested in going to see it! :) It's another one I'll definitely be buying on Blue-Ray when it comes out in several months.

As far as the previews went, of the ones I saw, there are some very promising looking movies coming out over the next few months. The first is the latest installment of the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. They went all in with the effects on this one, and it looks like it's going to be an awesome continuation of the series. Then there is a movie starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, based on the true story John Dillinger (Depp). It's called Public Enemies. Finally there is another movie I've been waiting for. It sounds cheesy, but the live action G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra movie that's coming out in August looks awesome, and it has 2 of my favorite (read bad @ss) cartoon characters in it, namely Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe) and Storm Shadow (Cobra), both ninjas who trained together, but then became mortal enemies. They've definitely ramped the storyline up from the "nobody every dies" cartoon of the 1980s. This is a serious action flick, and looks to wow audiences looking for a high impact action thriller!

There was another movies, based on some Aime, that I missed the preview for because I was out getting popcorn and a drink for us, but if the title credits for it are any indication, it could also be another action movie hit. It's called The Last Airbender, and it's from M. Night Shyamalan. It will appeal to younger audiences for sure, because it's based on a cartoon.

Anyway, that's about it for now. Go see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen if you haven't seen it already. It's an awesome ride!

Have a great rest of the week. Peace.
