^ I didn't notice all the street signs, but even Joker himself makes a nod to Cicero in the interrogation.

I did, I could tell what was what. You could also see the clock tower at "Macy's" and does Gotham have Starbucks, did anyone notice that at the scene with the truck flipping over? And theres also the 29 S. Lasalle building, all the Chase buildings, I even saw Binny's resturant there too.

The Dark Knight

Probably one of the GREATEST movies I've seen this year. The scene when joker gets out of the hospital and begins blowing it up still makes me laugh. Heath Ledger could have EASILY gotten a Grammy for his performance.

Baby Mama

This movie was good too and it was pretty funny. It actualy was kinda heart warming and wasn't just a random comedy it actualy did have a good plot.

The Strangers

This movie was sooo bad it would have been good if they didn't just wait till the end of the movie to do anything. But they didn't this movie had so much potential.

Wall-E

This movie is my second favorite it was soo good probably pixars best.

Wow I saw a bunch of movies in not even a week XD

Edit: I ment Oscar not Grammy thanks for pointing that out Woodland

The Dark Knight


Quite Simply Awesome.

Easily the best Batman movie of this series and a remarkable job by Heath Ledger as Joker. Simply put, If you like the Batman Movies, you'll love this movie.

I also think Christan Bale has Bruce Wayne nailed in this movie as well. The Views of Chicago are simply amazing.


GO SEE THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW


4 Out of 4 Stars.

Dark Knight: My new favorite movie

Best Part: (Spoilers)





When the batpod comes out of the batmobile, flips over the truck, and reverses on the wall. That was nasty. Also when the pencil dissappears.

Might as well go with the flow. The Dark Knight is THE best movie I have seen this year. I never thought that anybody could replace Jack as the Joker, but G** D***, Ledger nailed it. If he does not get an oscar nomination then there is something seriously wrong.

Not much else to say except what Galvan said. If you have not seen this movie yet, then get off your a** and go see it.

10 out of 5 stars. Going to go and see it again this week.

Best part, and it seems like everybody agrees, is the disappearing pencil. My other favorite's all have to do with The Joker.

"I just want my phone call"

"Excuse me, I wanna drive.", as he pushes the dead truck driver out the door.

Blowing up the hospital, as he walks out in a nurses uniform. Then looking back like, WTF, when the last bomb did not go off.

When Gordon was named commissioner, everybody was clapping, including Joker.

Heath, hats off to you. You are The Joker, and you have made a mountain of the character that nobody will be able to climb. May you rest in peace.

I saw the Dark Knight on Sunday afternoon on the Ultra Screen in the twin cities - which was a great way to watch the movie - and I've decided that I need to see it a second time to really get all the movie's inner workings. The movie wasn't at all what I expected from the previews, but I was pleasantly surprised. For me, the movie lived up to all the hype and yes, Heath Ledger made one hell of a character out of the Joker, which I'd bet most people still don't totally understand.

Can't wait to see it again tomorrow afternoon.

I saw the Dark Knight twice, and it really did help. It was great two times! Loved the disappearing pen trick, and when he wants his phone call. Oh, and that two-face makeup is great!

I heard that the Harry Potter teaser was about 10 seconds long and only played on IMAX screens.

In other news I saw TDK again yesterday and I think it was even better the second time. The end is kind of so abrupt that I think you miss the true meaning of what Batman is to Gotham city the first time. Such a great film.

Which is exactly why he should be at least nominated for an academy award, if not win it. The entire interrogation scene with Batman was worth the price of admission itself, not to mention when he was pushing that cop to the brink of snapping by asking him how many of his friends did he kill.

I didn't hear about a Harry Potter trailer, but I had heard there would be a trailer for the Twilight movie. I was horribly disappointed when I didn't see that trailer in it. Made me very sad.

I loved the interrogation scene. I honestly thought that was one of the best parts of the movie and I'm an easily distraced teen. It gave me chills both times I saw it.

Also with the harry potter preview, it is during the IMAX but nothing to see. You see a wand and then it says harry potter and then that's it. It doesn't even deserve to be called a preview.

I saw Mamma Mia a few days ago (Don't Judge Me!!) and it was a pretty good movie. Somehow, Looking Back I remember that it didn't really stick to the plot and it annoyed me that it didn't have "Knowing Me, Knowing You" (Youtube it if you aren't an ABBA fan). If you're someone who likes Love at First Fright, you will like this movie!!!! There are also some funny jokes that the Grandmother does.

Also, I didn't know Greece had so many stairs.

4.5 out of 5 Stars.

Step Brothers:
Overall it was pretty good. I enjoy stupid comedies, and this definately was one. If you like the humor of Superbad and Talledaga Nights, you'll like Step Brothers. Will Ferrel and John C. Reiley do a good job acting their parts. I'm definately getting it on Blu-ray when it comes out. 4/5

Pulp Fiction
I just recently watched this cult classic, and it was definately interesting. Even though it lacks a plot, it kept me interested. I also like that mid-way through the movie, it goes back in time. I also like how it changed point-of-views. However, lots of the scenes consisted of dull talking, which got a little old. But, if you like Quentin Tarantino movies, you'd like this one. In the end though, it really doesn't do it for me. It's just so-so. 3/5

Mamma Mia Outragiously horrible, it was so boring and I am a Broadway freak and that was just way past horrible. The music was good, Myrell Streep can not sing for her life. Not worth the time or money let me tell you, the story dragged on. I wish it was better. 1/5

Tropic Thunder

I got to go for a free preview, but when it comes out don't waste your money. First 5 minutes are the funniest part of the movie, and it plain sucks from there. Ben Stiller shouldn't direct ever again.
