I saw four movies this weekend … two in theaters and two on DVD. Sunday evening I went with Brian and Carrie to see “Batman Begins”. It was very good, probably my favorite of all the Batman flicks. I read a profound review of it on John Chandler’s blog. Really made me think. I must say, though, it was hard to see Rachel Dawes played by Katie Holmes and not think of Tom Cruise. Kinda spoiled her character a little. On Monday, I went to see “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants”. It was a sweet chick flick, and I enjoyed it.
I rented “Ray” and “The Aviator”. I was actually choked up at the end of “Ray” when it showcased Ray Charles’ part in the civil rights movement in Georgia. I am still humming “Georgia, Georgia…”
You didn’t comment on The Aviator. Personally, I was disappointed by it.
That’s because I finished watching it after I wrote the blog. I liked it,(and Cate Blanchett was very convincing as Katherine Hepburn,) but it wasn’t my favorite of the four.
The thing that got me about The Aviator is Leonardo was actually pretty good. Pains me to say that.
