Batman

I didn’t really like this movie.  It was way over-hyped.  I especially didn’t like the scene with the prince songs in the museum.  The whole movie seemed a bit “crammed together”.  They really didn’t spend the time developing the villain’s character (a problem with all the Batman movies).  I don’t think people realize that comic book characters can be really complex – that’s what’s appealing about them.  They’re not appealing if they’re just presented to us with no real background other than “this is a good guy” or “this is a bad guy”.   the other Batman movies had this same problem – especially Batman III.  Yes, they did make an effort to develop the characters in all these movies, but I don’t know, it just seemed like it wasn’t enough.

Multiplicity

This was a fun movie, it’s comedy where a person has himself cloned to help with his busy life. Of course, his life just gets busier and it doesn’t work. I was wondering… would this work as something other than a comedy? Perhaps a murder/drama/mystery? There are a lot of possibilities here, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until someone makes another similar movie. (see the sixth day – and it sucked).

 

Johnny Dangerously

Definitive mobster spoof.  But not a spoof of mobster movies, or even real mobsters, a spoof of the “cartoon image” mobsters.  The glorified Al Capone type, who doesn’t really kill anyone… except a few other bad guys.  There’s enough material here to keep anyone entertained from start to finish.  When is Joe Piscipo gonna make a comeback?  He is cancer-free last I heard…?
