I Want To Believe The Dark Knight...

two movies in two consecutive nights...
having read so much positive reviews about the movie, i went into the cinema with great expectations for The Dark Knight...
and came out disappointed...
was expecting lots of action since it is a summer blockbuster... but the movie was too long and too draggy...
the movie was saved by Heath Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker... and the dark soundtrack...
as well as the thought-provoking dialogues...

in contrast, i have no expectations for The X-Files...
partly because it has opened quietly without much fanfare and we ran out of choices at Downtown East Cathay...
the movie was simple and a little gory...
the familiar X-Files tune still intrigues me...
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny both looked aged...
but then again, The X-Files was first shown more than a decade ago...

i want to believe in the good of all human kind...
no matter how bad the situation is, there is always hope...
hope for the better...
hope for a miracle...
