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.

Film 152/365, Day 162/365 – The Expendables

Lots and lots of action.  Other than that however there isn’t too much to The Expendables and unfortunately that is why it won’t be remembered as one of the great action films.  The script was pretty awful and acting just as bad; the action was good but not brilliant.  I expected more if I’m honest.

Synopsis:  They are an expert military team available to hire.  They have no government affiliation.  They answer to nobody.  Ultimately however they are expendable.  Now they have been hired by the CIA to remove a former operative who has taken over an island and is running it as a base for his drugs operation.

Film 141/365, Day 152/365 – Sharktopus

Complete and utter shite.  The acting is bad, the direction is bad, the CGI is bad, the script is bad but the most shocking thing about Sharktopus is that someone actually put up the money to make it.  Almost the worst film I’ve ever seen!

Synopsis:  The military in it’s infinite wisdom creates a Shark-Octopus hybrid which it soon loses control of and it goes on it’s inevitable killing spree.
