Tonight's Film To Watch...
The Dark Knight!
I just finished having breakfast with Tina and caught Mr. Moviefone's review of Batman's newest movie on CNN's Headline News with Robin Meade.
Mr. Moviefone basically stated that it is definitely a dark film, and that Heath Ledger should be nominated for an Oscar performance.
Well, Tina and I have already bought our tickets online for tonight's show and will be reviewing it later this weekend ourselves!
Surprisingly it is Tina more than myself that is the more excited to view the film! Which is strange considering what she blogged a month ago...!
Here were Tina's thoughts from her June 16th 2008 blog post regarding the film:
Crusading against the crime syndicates terrorizing Gotham, Batman(Christian Bale) encounters a new enemy, a criminal mastermind - The Joker (Heath Ledger in his final role) in The Dark Knight opening July 18.
Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman return while Maggy Gyllenhaal steps in to replace the woeful Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes.
Like most sequels, this second installment looks like it will explore its' hero's dark side. How far is too far? What if you're battling an evil like The Joker? Hmmm.
Sounds interesting, and Christian Bale is fabulous as Bruce Wayne. But on the whole, the trailers look a little too dark for me. Of course, that just may be Heath Ledger's makeup. Like many women, I'm not much for the gore and this new Batman seems filled with it.

I admit, I'm not itching to see The Dark Knight - and I loved Batman Begins.
On the plus side, at least Katie Holmes is gone ...
Reserving judgement for now,
Tina
