*Cinema — The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight (2008)

• As good as everyone is saying.

• Heath Ledger was fantastic. Creepier than anything ever.

• Seriously though, I had trouble watching half of his scenes simply because I was afraid of anything he’d do. Although this was less about his acting and more about his actions. I’m a wimp when it comes to movie violence.

• Maggie Gyllenhaal kicked Katie Homes’ butt. I mean her acting was just so much better.

• Loved Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine as usual.

• Christian Bale was good of course, though for a movie about Batman, it wasn’t really all about Batman.

• There is no way that Nestor Carbonell looks old enough to be a mayor. I’m probably just used to Mayors being old.

• The criminals (other than the Joker) were kind of… eh.

• Real, creepy, and highly enjoyable.
