This is a genuinely excellent analysis of the level Kevin. Thanks for it!

I think there’s only one solution here:

I just want it to be good because of my long-standing love for Brie Larson!

Where is the negativity in this post? It’s a series of facts.

My 135is had a lot of issues during my three year lease. A clutch burned out in six months (I know how to drive a stick, BMW even admitted it was a manufacturing issue and paid for it). A year and a half in the car went into limp-home mode and BMW ended up having to lift out the engine, replace all the spark plugs,…

Will Smith is a fun movie star, but Keanu Reeves’ reaction to the world of the Matrix and the way he played off of Laurence Fishburne really make the movie great.  It’s cool to see Smith have this sort of reaction to turning down the role as opposed to being bitter.

Ahhh, you beat me to the punch! Yeah, Begins is much better than TDK. TDK (rightfully) earns a lot of praise because of Heath Ledger’s Joker stealing the movie, but ultimately it’s focused more on Joker rather than any other character.

You know what? I’m gonna go there. I prefer Begins to The Dark Knight.
