Old News: Cat Woman Revealed
Anne Hathaway
I don't know really what to think, kind of a Julie Nemar look?
I'm still partial to Michelle Pfeiffer myself. Her performance in Batman Returns is on par with Heath Ledger's Joker when you take the respective films in context.
.
Miss Anne Hathaway has some pretty big shoes to fill, but I have no doubt that it can be done.
I don't want this mess:
Hmmmm? But it's a Dark Knight movie so I'll reserve judgement until I've seen the movie.

thunder...Thunder...THUNDER CAT.... Errr I mean Thor
OK, lets get it out of the way, I went to see Thor mostly because Thor is smoke'in hot...and I was not disappointed in this respect at all. :)
That being said, I was happy to find that the movie turned out to be pretty good...Really good in fact. Well acted and with the silliness being kept to the min. And I must say hat's off to whoever decided that Thor should actually use his hammer in the same manner he uses it in the comics. It made me smile and really isn't that all we ask?
To be honest, I really didn't have high hopes and so it is always nice when something exceeds your expectations. This wasn't a game changer kind of movie...it's not "The Matrix" or "The Dark Knight" but it is a good romp. Loki (my crush on James Avery holding firm) looks great with his giant horns. And Asgard is just amazing. Bad sets can kill a movie and good sets can create a classic (Just look at the original Dune; terrible script but awesome sets).
As for the 3D, well you really didn't need it. The Movie would have held up without it and only the scenes in Asgard were worth the effort.

X-Men - A First Class Movie
I've got a thing for James McAvory. I'll watch just about anything that he is in and when he is in something I really want to see, then all the better. And this was a better movie than any that have come before.
This felt like the X-Men had finally settled into the movies and so we don't need a lot of background on new characters, they are just there...they have powers...let's move on. And so, we get a good story, if somewhat predictable (that's not always a bad thing especially when it's fun).
I found layers here. You got the good mutant against the not so good mutants and the good and not so good against the really bad mutants while all the young mutants are having to deal with their teenage angst. Now isn't that what the X-Men have always been about?
Plus there were some sweet unexpected if brief cameos...
Worth the price of admission... HOWEVER!!!
Don't expect comic book continuity here. Think of it as an Exiles version of X-Men history and you'll be fine. The best part of the movie is that it's set in the 60's so Emma doesn't look out of place walking around in her underwear the whole time. Not to mention that Beast (pre-transformation), Havoc and Banshee are all pretty good eye candy as well.
