The Dark Knight (2008,  PG-13)
The Dark Knight 4.5 Stars
To be honest I was never a fan of Heath Ledger's acting but this really was the highlight of his career. I was enthralled by the whole movie and highly entertained by his performance, the whole cinema was! It was still a typical superhero movie though...I got more than I expected with this one as Batman Begins wasn't quite so thrilling!

Premonition (2007,  PG-13)
Premonition 4.0 Stars
By the end this movie gave you a premonition. I got too involved to the point its the third movie I've ever cried in; gives you such a shock and leaves you confused. I still recommend seeing it because you will understand it eventually.

There Will Be Blood (2007,  R)
There Will Be Blood 4.0 Stars
I took the risk with this since nobody I know likes it, very draining, a slow unconvincing beginning, unnecessarily dragged on in many parts but brilliant acting and very memorable scenes! A unique film for die hard movie buffs.

This movie was somewhat iritating at first because of the way they were carrying on but I got used to it and you could really feel for them, brought a tear to the eye at the end.

Jesus (2000,  Unrated)
Jesus 4.0 Stars
when you see this story in movies opposed to books you can relate yourself to everyone involved, it becomes more clear & understandable, makes you believe it. I recommend it.

I can see why it's rated so, but it didn't live up to expectations for me. I'd still recommend everyone see it, well written, convincingly acted, great soundtrack.

I only saw it to see how Emma Watson would go outside of Harry Potter, wasn't a half bad movie on its own either.
