Film 239/365, Day 253/365 – Battle: Los Angeles

A very good action film.  It was like Independence Day hold the cheese, well, almost there is bound to be some cheese but it was more of a sprinkling.  There is plenty of action and tensions as they enter the battle field unaware of what they are up against and just how they are going to defeat them.  It was far better than some of the alien invasion films of late.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Synopsis:  Strange meteorites enter the Earth’s atmosphere and impact at sea of the coast of a number of large cities.  It very quickly becomes apparent that these are not meteors and it is an alien invasion.  A platoon of marines are dispatched to recover civilians but this unlike anything they’ve faced before.

Film 200/365, Day 212/365 – The Dark Knight

A fantastic way to follow on from Batman Begins.  The Dark Knight has everything that made the first film excellent but this time we have a villain worthy of the Batman.  Three years ago today I was sat in the Vue at 08:50 in the number one screen with a cup of tea and ten other people to watch The Dark Knight, that was the first film the last time I tried to watch 365 films in 365 days.  Heath Ledger was well worth his Oscar in my opinion.  Brilliant.

Synopsis:  Batman is starting to get to the criminals, they are getting nervous and turn to an unpredictable psychopath known as the Joker to help them get rid of the Batman.  And with a new District Attorney called Harvey Dent the criminals look like they have nowhere to hide.
