Gotham isn't beyond saving.

Date: Friday 7th December
Film: Batman Begins (2005)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian BaleMichael CaineLiam Neeson and Katie Holmes
Running Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Rating: 9/10

It's no secret, I love Superhero movies, and Batman Begins is no exception.

The first in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy and, whilst it is not the best of the tree, Batman Begins is a brilliant re-imagining of the Batman universe. Christian Bale plays the brooding titular character wonderfully, with a great supporting cast including Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Katie Holmes.

Nolan has 'gone dark' in the best way possible; unlike more traditional superhero movies, this isn't all slick, bright and glossy. You get the feeling that these criminals really could be working underground around the city.

I only have one issue with Batman Begins, the vapouriser. If this machine turns water into vapour just by driving above the pipes containing liquids, how are people safe to be around it - surely it would vapourise the water in their bodies?

I think I've thought too much about this. I really should get out more.

Let's think about this logically. She's either alive, or she's dead.

Date: Sunday 28th October
Film: Go (1999)
Director: Doug Liman
Starring: Katie Holmes, Sarah Polley and Timothy Olyphant
Running Time: 1 hour 42 minutes
Rating: 8.5/10

One of my favourite parts of the week, Sunday Night Movie Club and this week, after a lot of deliberating, we decided to watch Go (or I was told we were watching Go as soon as I mentioned that I hadn't seen it before!).

It was a great choice, with a cast of many a familiar face from the 90s, and Katie Holmes before it all went a bit wrong (the period we refer to as 'the Tom Cruise years'). Go tells the story of one night from a few different perspectives; drugs, parties, relationships, and everything going a little bit wrong.
