BANE OUTTAKES

Hello Youtubes!
"I'm Bane, yes, that's my name.
Bruce Wayne and the Batman are totally the same.
I broke his back mortal comBAT smack,
then I cracked my '28 Krug champagne."

I had my doubts about this video when it was linked to me on Facebook. It started out ok and I had some chuckles but, I totally lost it after minute 2:25. I highly recommend checking this out. The sound mixing and voice over is amazing.

The Dark Knight Rises

I don't want to review The Dark Knight Rises. There's a bunch of reviews out there already which are definitely more eloquent then what I can write up. With that said, if you're still sticking around and would like to know my opinion:

The Dark Knight Rises is a good movie but, it's not a good stand alone movie. Unlike Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, you'll have to know what went on in the previous two in order to understand The Dark Knight Rises.

If you are on the fence about watching The Dark Knight Rises and don't like Anne Hathaway, stay away from this one. Personally, I really enjoyed Anne Hathaway's portrayal of Catwoman. I like the street smart "Audrey Hepburn-esque" cat burglar portrayal much more than the seductress that recent stories had painted her out to be.


If you liked Batman Begins but hated The Dark Knight er... give The Dark Knight Rises a watch. This recent installment addresses certain issues from Batman Begins and provides resolutions. In fact, the consequences of the Joker's actions in The Dark Knight looms over The Dark Rises like a dark cloud. So, in a way the Joker is in this movie.

If you like Joseph Gordon-Levitt you will like The Dark Knight Rises. Why? Just trust me on this. But if you want to know more I'll discuss that after the "JUMP!"

If you don't care much for Chris Nolan's style of Gotham, definitely skip this. Other wise, it's a pretty good movie and it's uplifting. The Dark Knight Rises closed the series on a good note. For more, I have a list of spoiler-full observations and maybe a smidgen of a review after the "JUMP!"



RATING:
4/5

Happy 35th Star Wars! And Batman Narrates...

35 years ago today, back in May 25, 1977, Star Wars premiered for the first time in theaters. Let's celebrate with some silliness. Voice actors Kevin Conroy (Batman), Billy West (Fry), Tara Strong (Bubbles), Rob Paulsen (Pinky), Maurice LaMarche (The Brain), John DiMaggio (Bender) and Jess Harnell (Wakko) does a reading of the Star Wars: A New Hope radio play as different characters. Mostly characters throughout their voice acing careers. Tara Strong does Darth Vader as Bubbles, John DiMaggio does Princess Leia as Jake the Dog, Rob Paulsen does Han Solo as Christopher Walken... you get the picture. Kevin Conroy is the only person who stays in the same character: Batman! The Dark Knight narrates Star Wars! The video is about an hr and a half long. Initially, I thought about just listening to the opening (when Darth Vader boards the Ambassador's Cruiser) and save the rest for later but I couldn't stop. So here's your warning, make sure you have an hr and half to spare before clicking on the video. And you may experience extreme stomach cramps, snorting, and/or farting from laughing too hard.

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer 2

WB hunted down all the IMAX Dark Knight Rises 6min Prologue videos but, they did release an official version of the 2nd trailer which was attached to Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. You can find it on youtube and won't have to go watch Sherlock Holmes if you don't want to. Hearing from those who did watch it, they had a fun time. "Holmes for the Holidays" anyone?
