A Wonderful Review

It's not often you see a movie reviewed with 4 out of 4 stars, it made me think it might be worth seeing 'The Dark Knight', the new Batman movie!
According to the reviewer, this movie 'incorporates human frailty and realistic threats of nuclear and economic destruction into the densely layered saga'.  He describes the movie as a 'brainy blockbuster' where all the actors have done wonderful jobs with the characters, it's described as one of the year's best movies. Apparently 50 % of the film contains IMAX images.  'The Dark Knight Rises is soul-deep. It prompts us look at our most private fears and how we cope with them. It questions what happens if we give into those fears.  It’s a demanding movie, one that could leave you exhausted as well as exhilarated'

Well at the very least, it's a wonderful review!   Do you think you might go see it?

In other news this article describes new hope in the Alzheimer's fight.
'The treatment in this case was IVIG, which is a mixture of antibodies collected from the blood of healthy human individuals.

...the treatment uses the strategy of immunotherapy, a generic approach which introduces an antibody into a patient to try to neutralize a factor that is important for the disease’s progression.'

The research results have been so promising they are expanding the trials with results expected in 2013.

We so rarely go to see movies, but this one is tempting. Spiderman sounds good too. However, what I really want to see is The Exotic Marigold Hotel.

David will probably see it, but I don't watch movies anymore as I lack the patience to sit through it.

That Alzheimer's drug does look promising, and I am glad they are expanding the study to include more patients.

Superman sounds good, but I probably won't go to see it, cinemas are very expensive, and mostly a luxury I don't allow myself. Good to hear about the Alzheimer drug, though! Valerie

The Alzheimer's drug will help so many people, and I am glad!

I will probably go see it when it comes to second run theater around here.

--what does that mean exactly, I wonder? As it is, yes, I plan to go see it this weekend at an IMAX no less. Never seen a real movie there before but the old documentaries. So, does that mean it will bbe grainy and smaller half of the movie? LOL! I never go to movies at the opening w/e but my sons really wanted to.

I'll tell you a movie I saw recently, that I absolutely adored--Exotic Marigold hotel. Wonderful in every way.

Kay, you won;t be disappoined. It was beautiful and hey, I just love Judi Dench. Such wonderful acting where an expression alone can say so much.

MMm, for IMAX I just picture these sweeping panoramic views, will look all the better in an IMAX theatre I imagine. Have fun with your sons!
