The Mummy and The Bat

Wow...yesterday was probably the best day of my life, watching 2 movies in one day! Nice....

The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Watched it on its opening day, how cool is that?! But alas, the movie wasn't that good. Just an average rate of 3/5....nice 3D effects though. My complaints: They shouldn't have replaced Rachel Weisz. Maria Bello looks older and pairing her up with Brendan Fraser isn't such a good idea. When you take away the original cast, it won't look good to me. No mummies here. The only mummy in sight is the Emperor (Jet Li), the rest...well, just terra cotta statues. But I liked the line," I hate mummies. They never play fair! "

The Dark Knight. Awesome! I have never seen the Joker this dark and heartless since Jack Nicholson played the role. The late Heath Ledger played the role much darker. Storyline a thumbs up, dialogues were realistic. Effects too! The new BatPod is cool, simple-looking, and incredibly fast! I wonder if exploding the building was real....didn't look like animation. 5/5 for this one. " Why so serious? Let's put a smile on that face! "

Note of the day: Met a new friend, a man in his 50s or 60s, in Borders bookstore. Was looking for someone to ask about learning musical instruments, and I happened to be there. Whoops! I'm not full-time musician, what am I doing there? Had quite a long chat about courses, music....even gave me his name card.
Hey, you will meet a new friend sometime, right?
