At least 3 of us will be seeing The Dark Knight together Weds 13th August 8.45pm showing. Leave a comment or send a mail if you are wanting to join us and be in on the final arrangements.This summer sees some cracking films come out. Batman is already receiving good reviews on many levels, and is billed as 'one of the best bloke movies ever'.
Prince Caspian is less dark, but has a lot of theological meat in it for those who have ears to hear.
Now, there's the X-Files film, "I Want To Believe". Storyline is unknown, but the series had this whole tag line concerning evidence and the choice of belief, and the desire to believe even if the evidence is not entirely compelling.
If you want to see these films, or others not mentioned ,with SofaChurch bods, give a shout here. I'm tired of going to the cinema by myself and having no one to talk to the films about!
Wednesdays are good priced in Crewe, and if you wait a couple weeks after release and go to a later showing, the cinema is quite quiet too.

Dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner BATMAN! Kapow!
Err, Sorry for that random outburst.
Definately up for seeing the new film and any others that happen to take our film fan interests. Lights, cameras, ACTION!!!
Went to see The Dark Knight last night. Superb film. Action. Morals. Effects. Sustained peril and threat, twist after twist.
Characters were excellent; I'd never heard of Heath Ledger until he died, and can see what a loss that now is. As the joker he is fantastic. Disturbing exploration of the criminally insane.
I'd say should be 15 certificate too; lots of knife threats, gut wrenching moral dilemmas.
A good film to see and very memorable.
Spotted this last week, and has made me laugh much:
Why so Serious?

Batman: Why do you want to kill me?
The Joker: [laughs] Kill you? I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, you... you complete me.
One of the ideas I found interesting in the film was that gratuitous evil is somehow a necessary opposite and (perhaps)equal force to good. One gives the prerequisite for the other to exist. Comes up in science fiction, and occasionally in theological discussion.
I can tell I enjoyed it (even if there was a communal deep breath of release at the end!) as it's switched my brain into deep analysis during today and in the background...
Articles commenting on Batman and the X-Files films here - I haven't read them so cannot vouch for them, but may be of interest.
That's a good write up on Batman, Andy.
Won't touch X-Files until I've seen it; I pride myself on staying ignorant of film details until I see them. Makes the story so much more compelling. Even High School Musical ;o)
Anyone for The Day The Earth Stood Still remake - released tomorrow?
