The American Film Institute have release the top 100 quotes. There’s a couple from my list that made it.

Been busy
My blogs have been a little light for the past week and a half. I’ve been busy with work and going out :-D. I got a line up of CSI that I recorded but haven’t watched yet. I should be catching up on the current events and comics. As for the remaining week I’ll probably watch Mr and Mrs Smith, and on Friday I’ll be catching Land of the Dead.
Batman Begins
After relentless annoying sequels of the Batman movies I thought the series would never come back as it did when Tim Burton directed the first two Batman movies. Now the Dark Knight is brought back to life with Batman Begins.
This movie is a prequel to all the previous Batman movies. You’ll see how Bruce Wayne transform himself from an ordinary man (an extremely wealthy one that is) to the Dark Knight. The story is decent and the setting isn’t too dark. The action scenes are exceptional. The nit-picky thing I would say about the movie is that you never get to see the whole batsuit. You definitely see his cape and cowl and the upper portion of the chest. Maybe it adds to the shadowy persona, but it would still be nice to see the entire suit.
This is the best Batman movie to date that many of the true comic fans will appreciate and enjoy.

Without Limits
Distance running was something I picked up after high school. I never really like running anything farther than 200 meters. Sprints was something I excelled at but continuing it beyond high school was difficult. The lack of a track program at the University I attended didn’t help much. Distance running is competitive and opportunities to compete are available year round.
Without Limits is about the life of Steve Prefontaine. His short-lived life of running and the obstacles he faced is summed up in this movie. Prefontaine is a legend and during his time he broke and held many American records. Whether you’re and avid runner or a couch potato you’ll enjoy this movie. There was another Prefontaine movie which appropriately named “Prefontaine” that was released a year before. It shares the same story.

The Day After Tomorrow
Global warming, pollution, and forest conservation are some of the environmental issues the world is facing. It seems like environmental issues are never a high priority for many world leaders to discuss. Maybe it will have to take something drastic to happen to make them realize the environment is not something that can be put off.
The Day After Tomorrow brings that drastic scenario to the big screen. Dennis Quaid and Jake Gylenhaal play Jack and Sam Hall, father and son. Jack is a environmental scientist that discovers that the Earth is going through some serious changes that is negatively affecting the weather around the world. The attention is brought up to the Vice President of the United States, who played by Kenneth Welsh which eerily resembles our current Vice President, Dick Cheney. The Vice President takes Jack’s claims lightly and ignores the issues. Hail the size of bowling balls rains in China, tornados ripping up Hollywood, and massive floods that takes out major cities all happen all at once. Sam, miles away from his father, trapped in a library with a few other survivors is hoping his father can reach them in time.
This is a really big movie based on global warming, but Roland Emmerich pulled it off pretty well. Like most tragic-event movies they tend to have a slow start until the disaster comes. The special effects and the possibility of it really happening is intriguing. This movie is fun to watch if you’re into destruction or meteorology. Besides that this is a mediocre disaster movie that could have been better.
