"I'm Batman"

Friday night after work was supposed to be a big party night, go out dancing at the clubs and all that…BUT…it was pouring rain from 3 pm on, just making everyone depressed and miserable. So the party night fell through, and turned into a low key movie night. I headed over to Wes’s apartment and Diana picked us up in her pickup truck shortly thereafter. We drove up to Escazu, a neighborhood of San Jose that has a lot of malls, clubs, restaurants etc. My first time being in a mall in Costa Rica and it felt like I was pulled out of “Tico Time” and thrust into the late 90’s mallrat scene…pretty amusing. Anyway – we went and saw “Batman Begins”…which was exactly what I needed…a no thinking, piece of Hollywood eye-candy...and thank goodness it wasn't overdubbed in Spanish...just spanish subtitles. I really liked the intro to it all, giving us the background on Bruce Wayne, and his parents deaths, and the ninja training in the Himalayas…and of course Morgan Freeman had the juicy role as Bruce Waynes technoexpert – showering him with the Batmobile, and the Batman armor and wings among other things. All in all it was a better movie then I expected, and I hope they continue along the same path when the make the next one…cause what would Hollywood be without a sequel?
