Not the best baseball movie I have ever seen. That honor belongs to "The Sandlot", however this one is a fascinating look at scouting, drafting, and general baseball management. Acting is good. Not sure that Jonah's performance was that awesome - he simply wasn't smoking a bong or getting stabbed at a kegger, which I think surprised some people. The tension of work and family does show up and adds a nice human element to the film. Mixed in with some baseball highlights of the actual events can add more power for the A's fans out there. Worth a watch if you like baseball or play sports video games and love building the teams up more than actually playing the games. If you don't know what I am talking about this movie may not be for you.

If you can get over the fact that Batman is essentially Iron man then you can enjoy a decent super hero flick. Ben is a solid leading Batman, disgruntled with life and the appearance of all these dang alien hero people tearing his city up. I hate that too! So Ben ponies up for one more ride, but he is going to need a medal suite and of course kryptonite baby! So he does and the battle ensues to epic proportions. But little does Batman know the Superman is actually a legit nice guy that we see kissing and loving Lois Lane. Snap. Totally torn! Fun action, decent story lines, mostly logical, if you are into the heroes or not this is a good one to go see.

Led by the dark vision of Burton, Batman appears on the big screen true to the comic book feel, but painted with shades of gray. Jack Nicholson plays a fantastic Joker, maybe the best maniac/mad hatter style ever done. Jack's performance is trying to achieve something much different than Heath's in the newest rendering. Heath did the demonic twisted Joker, Jack Nicholson turns in a performance more like the original TV show with added darkness. I really liked this 89 Joker after seeing it again for the first time in years. Keaton and Kim have a nice believable romance that is fun to watch when the action subsides. Definitely worthy of a re-watch for all the grown up kids.
