The Dark Knight Rises

Fours year ago today I wandered over to my local cinema at 8:50 in the morning grabbed a cup of tea and sat down to watch The Dark Knight, which was excellent.  Well this is the exact same team that made that, so... should you expect anything different?  No, not really this is yet another excellent film from Christopher Nolan, it's dark, edgy and ultimately very satisfying.

My only criticism would be that I saw the ending coming a mile off and it would be nice to have another motive for the villain other than destroying Gotham City, but it was still a very good way to end the trilogy.  Who will pick it up from here?

Film 321/365, Day 340/365 – Get Smart

Very silly and very funny.  Steve Carell is simply excellent as Maxwell Smart and whilst this is a very silly film it is also very funny.  There are plenty of gags and slapstick humour all the way through.  The story is quite good without being brilliant.  Dwayne Johnson and Anne Hathaway are also good.

Synopsis:  Maxwell Smart dreams of only one thing, becoming a secret agent but he is not going to get his break because he is the best analyst the secret services have ever had.  That is until someone breaks into the headquarters and all of the agents are suspected of being a double agent so Maxwell is made up to agent status to find out who did it.
