Two For Tuesday

Well the two being I saw two movies yesterday. Those two being The Dark Knight Rises (on IMAX) and The Watch. I won't share any thoughts on the Dark Knight Rises, as I've done that already, but I will just say that if you can see it on IMAX while it's still showing on an IMAX screen, I recommend anyone to go do it. Another thing I noticed is that there were no trailers shown prior to the movie (as on other showings of the Dark Knight Rises, you do get trailers), so if you do go and see it, get there early so you don't miss any of the film. I went with my brother (which normally I'd have gone by myself), and we went before noon, so the price was $12.50 ($18.50 passed noon). However, being that it was $12.50, I only paid $2.50, as I won a movie ticket before I left yesterday, and wisely used it to buy my ticket for the Dark Knight Rises.

Up second was The Watch. The movie was a somewhat fresh and hilarious take on Aliens, starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill, and Richard Ayodae. If you go in expecting anything more of the film, you will be disappointed. For the most part, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill are what made the movie hilarious. Ben Stiller came across as being (for a lack of a better word) a dork, and was extremely hit or miss with his comedic timing, and Richard Ayodae seemed to deliver more than I thought he did, although after seeing this movie, I still don't see how he fit in with the three. That pretty much sums up my take on the film. Would I recommend it? Yes, if your a fan of any of the four, however being that it's a comedy, I'd still recommend the movie Ted over this (if you haven't seen it yet).
