Christian Bale Makes Everything Better

While watching some of the latest internet videos that have been getting tons of attention, I, Dante, figured that they would be better with a little Christian Bale sprinkled in. Because, honestly, who doesn't need a little Bale in their lives?

JUDGEMENT!: Limitless

I wasn’t super excited to see this movie. I had seen the trailer and it had me hooked until it looked like it was becoming this kinda chase film. Oh, don’t you love bad marketing? The trailer actually misleads you but not in a good way. Lots of movies the past few years either feature scenes that aren’t in the movie or flat out show you the entire film. This one says “This is what happens!” and makes me not want to see it.

The movie stars Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Alias, A-Team) as Eddie Morra, a lazy writer who gets dumped by his girlfriend played by Abbie Cornish (Sucker Punch, Bright Star). She knows he can be better but he just cant. Eddie bumps into his ex wife’s brother Vernon played by Johnny Whitworth (3:10 To Yuma, Empire Records, Gamer). Vernon offers him a clear little pill to take that will change his life.

JUDGEMENT!: Sucker Punch

“If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.”

Holy shit. I swear. I was excited about this movie months ago after Alex told me about the trailer. I watched it, wiped my pants off, and patiently waited until this came out. Some people said it looked silly. Some said it looked like it wouldn’t be good. I said “I don’t care what this movie is like. If there are hot chicks wearing almost nothing and shooting robots and shit, I’ll see it.”

I got what I wanted! I got what I wanted and more. I will try not to spoil this too much because I want people to see this movie and still have some surprises if they see it. Before I get started allow me to state how amazing the soundtrack for this film was. I will be buying it this week because I haven’t gotten this many goose bumps from music in a film since Goodfellas and Snatch.

JUDGEMENT!: Battle: Los Angeles

“I’d rather be in Afghanistan.”

So would I after watching this film. Who are you people that like this film and keep it in the top ten? I love films full of explosions. I love films full of violence. Aliens? Yes, please! But this film, though having all of the above, lacks one thing I need no matter what the film is. No, not a story (seeing as how Hudson Hawk is one of my favorite films).

People I care about.

JUDGEMENT!: I Am Number 4

Its hard to blend in when you look like a supermodel. So I finally watched I Am Number 4 aka Smallville Marathon. That’s not a knock on the film or Smallville because truth be told I used to be a huge fan of Smallville. But this seriously was like watching a CW television show which shouldn’t be surprising since it was written by a CW writer.

The film stars Alex Pettyfer (Beastly, Wild Child) as John Smith. He is one of the last of his race of super powered beings who now live on Earth. Timothy Olyphant (The Crazies, Hitman, Deadwood) is Henri, his guardian.

This will be full of spoilers.

JUDGEMENT!: The Adjustment Bureau

I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect when me and my friend Q. went to see The Adjustment Bureau. We originally were supposed to see Biutiful but ended up missing the start of the film and not being allowed inside. The Arclight in Hollywood don’t play! I wasn’t too excited about seeing this film because the trailer showed far too much about the film and I had a feeling that there was no way possible that the ending would please me. I was right.

The film stars Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, Dogma, The Bourne Series) as David Norris, a politician running for Senate. One day he meets a woman played by Emily Blunt (The Wolfman, The Devil Wears Prada, Dan In Real Life) named Elise Sallas, a dancer. The two of them meet and immediately fall in love.
