Film 229/365, Day 243/365 – Batman and Robin

Completely and utterly rubbish!  The script is crap, the acting is terrible, in fact there isn’t a single redeeming feature in the whole film.  And when you consider the budget and the actors involved it is inexcusable.  It’s as if they tried to merge Tim Burton’s Gothic Batman with the Batman from the TV series from the ‘60s.  Appalling!!!

Synopsis:  Batman and Robin continue to protect Gotham City.  Now they are facing with Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy, but maybe the real problem is the friction between Batman and Robin.  Will they be able to stick together long enough to save the day?

Film 186/365, Day 197/365 – The Men Who Stare at Goats

Funny, sarcastic and incredibly strange.  The Men Who Stare at Goats has an excellent cast who were all ideally suited for their roles, George Clooney and Jeff Bridges really stood out for me.  It is what I hope the military are really investing their money on although I'm sure they aren't.  I also enjoyed all of the in jokes about Jedi warriors with Ewan McGregor.  Good fun. 

Synopsis: A small town reporter interviews a man who claims to have psychic powers only to end up half the way around the world in Iraq with a former member of the New World Army, a secret team of Jedi warriors funded by the American government.
