Well on sunday I went and saw City of Ember with my bro (and his GF). Simply put, it’s a pretty good movie. To be true, there are parts that drag on a little bit, and you never really get answers to some questions that pop up. Really though, the movie does have a set focus and keeps to it admirably more than most movies in recent memory).
If you haven’t heard what it’s all about, City of Ember is about–naturally enough–Ember, a city that was built underground to save humanity from a never expounded terrible fate. A box was passed down from one governor to the next, eventually getting lost and forgotten. 200 years later the box pops open and the adventure begins. The box contains the way out of Ember, So our intrepid youth find the map and go from there.
Anywho, see it.

So I got The Kingdom through Netflix the other night. It’s a great little action movie with some CSI-like extras thrown in for good measure. The Kingdom is about an FBI Evidentiary team that gets sent to Saudi Arabia to investigate a terrorist attack on the American housing complex. Needless to say they get there and all hell breaks loose. What follows are some great chase scenes and crazy firefights. As much as they try not to let it, the story does feel secondary to the action in the movie. Throughout the movie you definitely get the feeling that this is a real team that has worked together for a long time, and see how they befriend their Saudi-cohorts to save the day. Definitely worth a check out if you haven’t seen it already.
