THE DARK KNIGHT (6 BDKs)  As I sit here to write this review, I am honestly speechless because I was so blown away by what I saw that I don't think I can put it into words. What can I say about this film that already hasn't been said over the past couple of months? Well, what I can give you is my opinion. Yes, Heath Ledger's performance is Oscar worthy. Will he win? Well, the academy surprises the hell out of me all the time so that's a toss up. Could this film be up for Best Picture? Yes, it is the best film I have seen this year by far and I don't think that anything else this year will top it. I know that is a very bold statement but believe me when I say this; there is NO WAY you cannot like this film. Is Ledger's performance better than Jack Nicholson's performance in the original Batman? The short answer is HELL YES! Blasphemy you say? Well, to tell you the truth, as my buddy said, they are two completely different roles, so how can you compare them? The reason you can compare the two is that they are THE SAME CHARACTER!!! The reason that Ledger's is better is that it is more of a villain than Nicholson's was. When I look back on Nicholson's performance, I don't think of it being scary or violent. I think of it and laugh. When I think of what I just saw from Heath Ledger in this film, I get sick to my stomach because I didn't think anyone could ever act like that. Is there a possibility that Daniel Day Lewis was behind that make-up?... | ||||
 MOVIE PEOPLE SLEEP ON | ||||
TRUE ROMANCE (1993) Hands down my favorite film of all time! This film was written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Tony Scott (Man on Fire, Enemy of the State). The scene that takes place between Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is a masterpiece. The film also stars Gary Oldman, Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Penn, Tom Sizemore and Michael Rappaport. |
