The Dark Knight

Just watched The Dark Knight, staring Christian Bail as Batman, Heath Ledger as The Joker and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent. I was completely blown away by the gravity of this film. the outstanding performance by Heath Ledger combined with intense action, drama and plenty of twists and surprises to keep you glued to the screen hoping to nature doesn't call.

This is by far one of the best comic book to movie film I have ever seen. The Joker's character was terrifying thanks to Heath Ledger. He created a genuinely creepy and realistic Joker we have yet to see on screen. Jack Nicholson's rendition of the Joker in Tim Burton's Batman filmed in the 1990's was in no doubt good... but however there is no comparison with the level of performance by Heath Ledger.

I can't say too much about the film since its filled with twists and surprises. You defiantly have to check it out for yourself!

Dark Knight Vehicles

The Dark Knight is finally out in theaters all over North America. The streets are packed and everyone is crowded the entrances in theaters all over in hopes of good seats. I hope to see the film sometime on opening . Its widely anticipated; but as for myself I really want to see the new rendition of the joker played by Heath Ledger. Just by looking at the trailer, I can tell this is going to be a good film.



I bet a million people are trying to find a torrent for this video. I say... shame on you! I think this is defiantly a theater worthy movie. I've been a fan of the Batman stories since I was quite young. I really enjoyed the Art Deco themed animated series of Batman back in the 1990s. It help keep me involved in story. Tim Burton's renditions of the Batman story to film was really well done. I enjoyed the first two films. The others following were okay but not as good as the first two.

I took some photos on my cell phone of the Dark Knight vehicles when they were in Toronto last week, before they were taken back to California the following day.

The Happening

This is one of the strangest films I've seen in a while. It was really creepy and odd. Some parts are hard to watch others will make you just laugh. The horrible acting is actually comical and the decent violence in it is pretty out-standing and realistic. This film paid pretty good homage to Hitchhock. The use of music and the feeling of the in escapable danger that you fear you cannot run away from.



This film was quite strange but alright. I think everyone should give it a chance once it hits DVD's for rentals.
