One Fine Day

This past weekend we watched One Fine Day. Megan had been wanting to watch it for a some time, so we finally got around to it.

It had some cute parts, and I didn’t get bored watching it, but it didn’t really do much for me. Just an average sort of film. That has some cheesiness to it.

Batman Begins

Let’s see… it’s been two and a half weeks since we watched this film. Don’t know why it took so long for me to write about it.

I enjoyed it, and it’s worth watching. I agree with what just about everyone has said… it is the best Batman movie (with second place being the first). It rewrites the story, so there’s no continuity with the rest of the films (only the general Batman story), which is fine with me. Thinking back on the whole ‘have you ever danced with the devil on a pale moon night’ thing is pretty lame.

I was slightly disappointed when we watched the movie, though. From what I had read, I was expecting it to be a real movie, as opposed to a comicbook movie. But it isn’t. It is definitely comic book status. Which isn’t a bad thing… it’s a really good comicbook movie. I just was expecting it to be different. So I was a little disappointed that it didn’t turn out how I was expecting it, but it didn’t last long.

I didn’t find the movie to have anything objectionable for a mature viewer. There are a few scary scenes that you might want to keep the kids away from, but that’s all that I can remember as far as a warning goes.

Spoiler here: I don’t think Batman made the right decision in the end. I don’t think not saving whatshisface was any different from killing him in that situation. So Batman wanted to avoid murdering people, but I don’t think he was successful. So he lost some moral integrity there (that the film portrays him as hanging on to).

Derek Webb interview

Tim Challies is going to interview Derek Webb. Should be interesting. And hopefully fresh.
