The Dark Knight (2008, PG-13)
What an absolutely amazing film. I haven't been blown away by a movie in theatres for a long time. Ledger's performance was way beyond what I'd expected, which is a feat in and of itself since I had pretty high expectations. Ledger's Joker was a simply fascinating character, full of quirks and insanities which grip your imagination and keep you wondering what he will do next. He totally stole the show. Besides Ledger, though, there were plenty of other great characters, particularly Bale's Batman & Eckhart's Harvey 'Two-Face,' and I quite liked Oldman's Gordon character as well. (I have to say, though, that although it was nice to see a woman character who didn't have the cliche, typical Hollywood girl look, I didn't care for Gyllenhaal's character; good acting, but the character herself didn't draw much attention from me :/) All in all, stunning, amazing, fabulous movie and a real INSTANT FAVORITE! /end nerd rave |

The Mist (2007, R)
Wow, I really loved this. King's horror stories have something that most horror movies don't, and this is a very good example of that. Instead of completely focusing on the gore and horror, the film also shows a lot about how people will manipulate the fear of others and use religion to justify horrible things. |

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2) (2008, PG-13)
Although I liked the first one, this one was a hell of a lot better. I think it had better graphics, for one. Also, there were a lot more interesting creatures and beasts, which is always fun. Plus, come one, Seth Macfarlane as Krauss is just awesome (not to mention the character himself is quite interesting and amusing). Voice of Krauss = voice of Klaus on American Dad :P |

Not to be repetitive, but this miniseries really is quite comparable with Pride & Prejudice (with Colin Firth). They share some qualities, but this one is distinct enough that it doesn't feel too similar to be enjoyable. I really loved it, it was great fun to watch. I'm really a sucker for these period films!
