dark knight



i have been slacking off in the blog department by not blogging about "Dark Knight." i honestly don't know what i can say. the movie speaks for itself. if you haven't gotten a chance to see it, GET IN YOUR CAR RIGHT NOW AND DRIVE TO YOUR NEAREST THEATRE!!!
i loved this movie. i loved the first "Batman" with Michael Keaton, directed by Tim Burton. it was my favorite Batman movie....not anymore.

Heath Ledger was amazing. There are no words. There were so many moments of "Oh My God!" in that movie related to what he did in this role. He could not have played the part better. He redefined the Joker by being as insane as the character is in the comic book. I am truly sad that I will only be able to see him play that role again. I honestly got upset when he said he could do the dance forever. Legendary.

Christian Bale. Aaron Eckhart. Gary Oldman. Michael Caine. Morgan Freeman. Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Incredible.

Turn off your television. Lock your door. Leave your life for a couple of hours and visit Gotham City. You will not regret it.

I agree that it is an AMAZING movie, especially in terms of creating a true realism to the DC comic's established world. But I still think Burton's first movie is the best. There is true cinematic poetry in it. The music, the sets, the make-up. Watch it again now that you've seen "dark knight"
