Top 3 Films: Jude Law
Happy 38th Jude!
Enemy at the Gates (2001)
This WW2-era film was based on a novel by the same name written by William Craig and also partially based on the novel War of the Rats written by David Robbins.
Overall, it is about the Battle of Stalingrad but it focuses on a battle between a German sniper and a Russian sniper who are, for all intents and purposes, chasing each other.
Jude Law plays the Russian sniper, Vassili Zaitsev. Ed Harris plays his German counterpart, Erwin Konig.
It also stars Joseph Fiennes, Ron Perlman, and Bob Hoskins, who plays future Soviet premier Nikita Krushchev.
Road to Perdition (2002)
This Great Depression-era film is based on a graphic novel by the same name written by Max Allan Collins.
Jude stars as Harlen Maguire, a mob assassin who is hunting the main character, Michael Sullivan, who is played by Tom Hanks.
Also starring in the film are Paul Newman, Daniel Craig, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
This film, which was directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch, RocknRolla, etc..), is obviously based on the British fictional detective written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Jude Law plays Dr Watson to Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes.
I am looking forward to the sequel which is predicted to be released sometime in 2011.

Top 3 Films: Denzel Washington
Happy 56th Denzel!
Malcolm X (1992)
This biopic of the black Muslim leader from the 60s was directed by Spike Lee. It was based on the autobiography The Autobiography of Malcolm X written by Alex Haley, the same guy that wrote Roots.
Amazing film and one of my favorite biopics.
Washington was nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Actor for the film but lost both to Al Pacino for his role in Scent of a Woman.
Remember the Titans (2000)
Denzel played Coach Herman Boone in this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced football film.
One of the best high school football films ever made.
It also stars Will Patton, Ryan Hurst and Hayden Panettiere.
The Book of Eli (2010)
Also starring Gary Oldman, Jennifer Beals, and Ray Stevenson, Denzel plays Eli in this post-apocalyptic Hughes Brothers film.
This is actually one of my all-time favorite films. Of course it received no nominations from the Academy or Golden Globe whatsoever. Typical.

Currently Reading: Flash - Born to Run
TITLE: Flash: Born to RunAUTHOR: Mark Waid and Tom Peyer
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1999
PUBLISHER: DC Comics
This graphic novel should have been sub-titled Wally West: Year One because that is essentially what it is. It shows the origin of Wally West. How he gets his powers and tells the story of him becoming Kid Flash.
For those that are not aware, Wally West is the person that became The Flash after the death of Barry Allen, who, by the way, is Wally West's uncle.
Good read. Mark Waid does some pretty good stuff. He wrote Kingdom Come, which is probably one of the best graphic novels out there.

Movie Review: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
Last night I was surfing through the movies in the instant play section of Netflix and found this one.
This one was originally released in February 2010.
It is about an alternate earth in the DC universe where Lex Luthor is the leader and lone survivor of his Earth's Justice League and a bunch of superhuman beings that are similar to some of our DC universe's heroes but are evil.
It stars (voice-wise) Mark Harmon as Superman, William Baldwin as Batman, Nolan North as Green Lantern, Jonathan Adams as Martian Manhunter, Josh Keaton as The Flash, James Woods as Owlman (similiar to Batman), Gina Torres as Superwoman (I'm guessing she is supposed to be based on Superman but I'm not exactly sure) and Brian Bloom as Ultraman (who seems more likely to be based on Superman).
One thing I found interesting about the film was the cameos by Aquaman, Black Canary, Firestorm and Red Tornado, because these are heroes in the DC Universe that you almost never hear about.
While the movie wasn't terrible, it did lack something. I can't quite place my finger on it. The story was decent enough. Perhaps it was the fact that this particular story in the DC Universe, in a way, has been done to death. The whole idea of alternate Earths and the inhabitants of those alternate Earths.
The movie did get me to thinking and got me to start do some refresher reading (so to speak) about the DC Multiverse. Personally, I think the DC Universe should have stayed the way it was after Crisis on Infinite Earths got rid of all the alternate versions of Earth instead of turning it into one giant multiverse again.
Could just be me.
Anyway, I guess the movie is worth at least one viewing for you comic book geeks out there.
Other animated features in the DC Animated Universe that are worth checking out are Superman: Doomsday (based on the Death of Superman storyline), Green Lantern: First Flight, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, and Batman: Under the Red Hood. Another one was released in September 2010 called Superman/Batman: Apocalypse but I have not seen it yet. I'm looking forward to watching it because it includes the villain Darkseid. Next year, 2 more highly anticipated DC animated movies will be released (well, highly anticipated by me anyway). The first, which will be released in June is Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, which I'm sure will somehow tie into the live action movie being released about the same time. The second, however, which I am really excited about, it an animated version of Frank Miller's Batman: Year One, which is scheduled for release in September.
