Big Screen Dreams

Yesterday I watched Batman Begins and 40 year old virgin. I know they've both been out for ages but I don't really go to the cinemas all that often.

Batman begins was pretty good. Decent writing, good costumes and settings and stuff. There weren't many corny superhero jokes or nods which is probably a good thing since I'm not sure if they would have worked with the mood. There were the prerequisite unnecessary action spectacles that defied common sense but I tried as best I could to let it go. It just seems to me that if you look at a scene that doesn't make any sense how hard is it to come up with something else that does make sense? For me I can't enjoy the sweetness of the scene as much because I'm too busy grumbling. (I just thought I'd also say that I picked the bad guy from the beginning because I rule).

I had fairly high expectations of 40 year old virgin (which in hindsight seems ridiculous). I don't think it really met those expectations, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Overall it was reasonably funny but fairly cliched at the same time.
