So, I've written about this film before, but this time was a little different. We found ourselves at The PCC, with mince pies and mulled wine in hand and ready to fill ourselves to the brim with festive joy.

Just what we needed to prepare ourselves for the festive week approaching.

Did I mention how much I love Christmas?

This film is terrible but I love it. There is nothing that makes me feel more Christmassy than Andrew Lincoln being slightly stalky before declaring his love with cards (still would though).

It wouldn't be Christmas without watching this. It's not the best Christmas film (it's missing Kermit), it's not even the best Richard Curtis film, but it does still make me laugh in places, and not just because of Hugh Grant's dancing.

Gotham isn't beyond saving.

Date: Friday 7th December
Film: Batman Begins (2005)
Director: Christopher Nolan
Starring: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Liam 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.
