I know I was in the middle of my Sandra Bullock movie marathon... but how could I say no when Britt asked me to watch a movie with her? This one definitely has some laughs in it. So I thought it was pretty good. Definitely worth checking out! My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on July 27th, 2010) The Dark Knight, a review by RossRoyThe Dark Knight: Steelbook Edition
What they say The follow-up to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman set out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves effective. But soon the three find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Heath Ledger stars as archvillain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast as Rachel Dawes. Returning From Batman Begins are Gary Oldman as Gordon, Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox. My Thoughts I'll be very original with my review of this movie. It definitely deserves all the praise it gets. Heath Ledger as the Joker is M-A-R-V-E-L-O-U-S! Completely deserving of his Oscar. He completely steals the show for me, and that's saying something, because he's against Bale, Freeman, Oldman and Caine - which all give good performances in their respective role. But Ledger brings this little something extra to the Joker character. I really like the the whole Batman reboot that started with Batman Begins. I like that real, gritty, almost real life feel there is to the new Batman. It's not all shiny and heroic. Even the heroes show some flaws, but will still make the right choice in the end. Great movie, from beginning to end. Great actor performances. Great mood and atmosphere. Loved it! (From RossRoy's Random Viewings on March 9th, 2009) Angel Marathon, a review by DJ DoenaDisc 3 Lullaby Synopsis: Angel is confronted by Holtz who manages to trap Angel for a short time. But then Lilah bursts in and unwittingly explains to Holtz that Angel has a soul now. In the meantime Darla's water is broken but she seems to be unable to give birth to the child.My Opinion: Will Lorne's bar ever be re-opened? The episode was OK as an episode of transition. Dad Synopsis: As predicted, several groups are after the newborn child and Angel has to care for his son as a single parent. The others offer their help but Angel seems unwilling to accept it.My Opinion: How suddenly the world changes when one becomes a father. It's also funny to see how adult people resort to baby babbling. And I like the name Connor. Birthday Synopsis: Cordelia gets once again a vision but this time she falls into a coma and awakes in an astral body beside her own. The demon Skip explains to her that a human body isn't strong enough to get the visions of the "Powers That Be" for a longer period of time. He gives her a choice, to die or to never have met Angel in L.A..My Opinion: A "What if" episode. Cordelia has certainly come a long way since her days in Sunnydale or the beginning of "Angel". If you think back of how she despised demons. Not even Doyle dared to open up to her. That makes the step she took even bigger. But I seriously hope that there aren't too many side effects to this.
