Kung Fu Panda, The Dark Knight, and Canberra
Kung Fu Panda, and The Dark Knight. Neither could be farther from each other in terms of subject matter, but both I found to be incredibly enjoyable. Also, I have to go to Canberra for 4 days. Ugh. I hate Canberra. I'm taking Twilight and my DS to try and fend off the boredom, but this is Canberra we're talking about. The only people who can fend off boredom in Canberra are the people who actually live there and have protocols in place, and of course the Uni students, but ANU isn't on my list of destinations, so that's not an option. Maybe I should take New Moon as well... and Eclipse... Harry Potter?
Kung Fu Panda (yes I know it's a kids movie, but I'm not that mature, so I thought it justified :D ) I thought would just be another Disney flick that didn't quite meet the standards of the Disney movies of the days of old (namely the Lion King, Aladdin, 101 Dalmations... you get the drift :) ). I was pleasantly wrong, the characters were loveable, the story was amusing, and it was actually funny, something I didn't expect :P
The Dark Knight however, was something else entirely. I thought Batman Begins was dark, until that is, I saw the Dark Knight. Suddenly, it was as bright and shiny as Kung Fu Panda. But that doesn't mean it wasn't incredible. The performances were amazing, and I know everyone is saying this, but especially Heath Ledger. In my opinion, he actually stole the entire movie. He played the Joker, to steal the words of a very good friend of mine, very much like the Joker in the Batman animation series. I don't want to give too much away if anyone hasn't seen it, but it is definitely worth going to see :) Christian Bale, although slightly outshone, is amazing once again and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent surprised me. I'm usually not a massive fan of his (I don't know why. I'm just not. I can't really explain it. Meh.), but I thought he was fantastic. That's coming from someone who usually just uses 'meh' ;)
Anyway before I continue on a ramble and this post becomes spoiler-city, I'd just like to add that my resource post has been updated ;) and there's only 5 more days till Breaking Dawn! Yay! :D
