Nae meorisokui jiwoogae (A Moment to Remember)
Unrated
This is a pretty good Korean drama from John H. Lee. He gives a completely deep drama about the relationship between married young couples after the wife got an Alzheimer... Two main actors, Woo-sung Jung and Ye-jin Son show great acting... Their act really natural, it just looks like it really happened on them... But one big problem for this movie is the story was pretty boring... Even I wanted to turn off this movie because I don't understand the movie... But overall, it a big thumbs up for the cast... They did a brilliant job in this movie, just need rework the screenplay I think...

Boring... The story was so boring... The act from the stars was pretty bad too...
The Incredible Hulk
PG-13
I haven't seen the first movie, so I don't know the story very well, just read some movie magazines about the story of this movie... Actually, for a sequel, it's not pretty good... Especially, it's a superhero theme movie... This movie is too 'brutal', so I can't enjoy it very much... Most scenes are moving so fast, yet the cinematography was pretty bad... It just too fast and makes me a little confused while watching it because the angle wasn't pretty good, yet the scenes was moving so fast... Maybe if Paul Greengrass have that scenes, it would be very good because he did a great job in the scenes like this in 'The Bourne Ultimatum'... And choosing Edward Norton as Bruce Banner and Liv Tyler as Betty Ross wasn't a good cast... Even I don't watch the first movie, but I think people would remember Eric Bana as the Incredible Hulk, not Edward Norton... And Liv Tyler, she's pretty but forgettable...
Donggabnaegi gwawoehagi (My Tutor Friend)
Unrated
I watched the second movie first, and it was a real funny, yet fresh comedy so I wanted to see the first one because it's the original... The movie itself very funny, using the unusual story about a relationship between a tutor and their student, but not in an official way like in a school, college, university or something like that... Kim Ha-Neul and Kwon Sang-Woo played well as a couple in this movie, really gave a good show, especially Kim Ha-Neul, she's very funny... Actually, I think that they maybe can cut a little part of this movie because it's too long, especially in the middle, I get a little bored... But overall, it's a fresh and delightful Korean comedy... But I still love the second movie...
Jakeob-ui jeongseok (Art of Seduction)
Unrated
I really love this movie! It is great love trick movie... Son Ye-Jin and Song Il-Gook really great played as a bad couple... They really fit for each other... Great movie about seducing... Just love it!
Definitely, Maybe
PG-13
Since I know the plot of this movie, I wanted to see this movie... This movie really have the same plot in 'How I Met Your Mother' the TV show, but it still tastes differently.... Ryan Reynolds as the main character has put a good performance, and so are the three beautiful lady, Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher, and Rachel Weisz, yet Abigail Breslin stills charming in her age... I love the story they make, even the theme is romantic movie but they put in a good way to reverse it... Same good as 'How I Met Your Mother', because it's still hard to guess who the girl the main character will marry later... The differences just in the clues, in the TV series, it's more comedy but so hard to guess, but really really fun... Yet in this movie, there been several clues from the beginning of this movie if you're watching carefully, so you can guess who is the mother... A really interesting movie anyway...

This is what I called a musical performance in a movie!! A very brilliant movie about music... I've been waiting pretty long to see this movie and it cost with this great and spectacular show that August Rush had... I love the music... They're great... The techniques while playing the movies, it just WOW... They're more than brilliant!!! And the song, they're great... Raise It Up, no wonder it got an Oscar nominee... And the last song conducted by August Rush, that way is more than brilliant!!! So great.... Stunning performance!! Even the ending of this movie maybe can have a little change, but it's OK... Having your parents for attending your first ever concert, especially when you never met them before, it's more than amazing... And the cast for this movie was great... Freddie Highmore, even his age didn't fit for August Rush, but his physics did that... And he was excellent choice I think... Keri Russell, just wondering how beautiful she was... And Jonathan Rhys Meyers, he's my favorite actor anyway... He's one of reason I want to see this movie so badly.... And Terrence Howard, he's still great... And the big surprise was Robbie Williams... He great, just great... Whatever character he been playing at, he's still great.... Love this movie very much!!!

Forrest Gump

Oh my God, this is a very memorable movie from Robert Zemeckis... A very very great movie to watch and have a great influence in our life of course... How an idiot man named Forrest Gump who only has an IQ 75 but he can do beyond his IQ... He is everyone's hero... Tom Hanks portraits great as Forrest Gump... He's act was very natural, love it... He deserved the Oscar he got... And Gary Sinise plays great too as Lieutenant Dan... He deserved the Oscar nomination he already got... But too bad the other two didn't get it... To me, Robin Wright plays very great in this movie... Her performance was great... And Sally Field, she was a very lovely mother... And the scened when Forrest's mother is dying, it makes me cry.... So sad after all... She was a great mother after all... She can stand with her son and she always said good things to her son... Very touching story... Memorable quotes like "Run, Forrest! Run!" or "Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you gonna get", I thought that was unforgettable ones.... One of the best movies ever made!!!

L: Change the World
by ChanneliaAfter minute :
A disappointment Death Note spin-off . After watching the smart and creative Death Note & Death note : the last name . L : Change The world disappointed me , L & K just like a "chasing each other" rivalry and Kenichi Matsuyama didn't work the character L as good as before so unnatural and way too annoying .
Plot :
A spin-out sequel to the popular Japanese thriller. This time it focuses on the character L. L is recruited to save humanity from a deadly virus that wiped out a whole Thai village and his friend F. H...( read more read more... )is oponents are K and a twisted environmental group who want to "cleanse" the world of it's excess population with the deadly virus. His accomplices are two young children--an English-speaking boy who's the only survivor of the virus infected Thai village, and a Japanese school girl who's the child of the professor who developed the virus antidote.The Review Story :
Very manga-ish story and very guessable or predictable . Well , the first and second Death Note are really wicked , "fancy" and smart , if you compared with this one . It's so so different .
Directing , cinematography and lightning :
Nice and comfy , the whitish view are super-enjoyable , it's very very clean . Well ,there's some blood spilled there . But , it never effected the clean lightning and cinematography.
Script :
(again)too manga-ish . Exmp :"You are "Near" because you always near saved people" -L Lawliett- Score & Soundtrack :
"Lenny Kravits - I'll be waiting" really matched with this movie . L's 23 days before death story is alive more because of it's average score .
Casting :Kenichi Matsuyama as L surely the best actor here . He made L alive in expression and body language but surely an annoying voice .
Flixster - Share Movies
All other casts were only supporting L .
Overall :mangaish and boring . L : Change the world should be named L : Save the world and the best part of this movie is only it's clean and white lightning and cinematography .Only the anime / manga freak gonna be pleased after seeing this so-not-wicked & smart live-action .

The Constant Gardener
by Alexander''Leave this Justin. Go home.''
''I can't go home. Tessa was my home. ''
A widower is determined to get to the bottom of a potentially explosive secret involving his wife's murder, big business, and corporate corruption.
Ralph Fiennes: Justin Quayle
Rachel Weisz: Tessa Quayle
Powerful, emotional and political Constant Gardner is hard for me to watch due to it's material yet i couldn't look away. It had me crying and hurting inside and all from the journey of one man trying desperately to find an answer to his wife's demise. I mean it's a nightmare and a love story that sadly is severed but you still feel through flashbacks that there is a connection.
Brilliant acting from its two lead roles Rachel Weisz and Ralph Fiennes, two of the best of my heart and this country.
Ralph's performance and accent as Justin is top standards while Weisz as Tessa shines like she did in Fountain and shows a performance worthy of the Oscar she plucked from her emotionally charged portrayal told sadly but effectively in past tense.
The romantic portion of the film was immortalized by the two characters Justin and Tessa, (Ralph & Rachel). Their first meeting was dynamically presented as Tessa was a social activist heckling Justin as he was making a political speech. When the hall was cleared, however, it was Justin who was actually comforting Tessa after her outburst. The juxtaposition of the placid, passive Justin versus the fervent, hyper-kinetic Tessa was brilliantly established in that opening scene.
The strands of thriller and social realism are inextricably tied together in the film. As a whodunit, The Constant Gardener seeks to uncover what actually happened to Justin and Tessa on their African journey. At the same time, the main culprit that emerges is the heavy hand of greed as the pharmaceutical companies exploit helpless victims of tuberculosis for the purpose of testing and marketing an experimental drug. At one point in the film, it is disclosed to Justin that the pharmaceutical industry is no different than arms dealers.
This film truly rewards its audience as it works on so many levels. Like Crash you won't be able to stop pondering over every thing you've just seen. The politics here are engaging and bound to stir up even the most complacent viewer. What's even more amazing is that all of the timely political discourse and subsequent thriller aspects of the film,courtesy of the source material, John Le Carre's novel, are wrapped up in an immortal romance. We the audience join Fiennes on his journey across Africa, and we rediscover the love story between he and his wife that ties the film in a poetic realism usually reserved for movies with much less on their minds.
To top it off, it's all delivered in the maddeningly genius Meirelles style that took critics and audiences by storm in his debut masterpiece City of God. We have the shaky hand-held camera darting through vibrant and colorful third-world locales juxtaposed with jaw-droppingly gorgeous aerial photography of Africa in all its glory. Meirelles again shows us he is a true artist and visionary willing to show both the shocking beauty and abject horror of the people and places that populate his films. Again he delivers a message that people are doing horrible things to each other, everywhere.
With City of God he seemed to be saying the only hope is to document and record it. The Constant Gardener makes that argument again and takes it one brilliant step forward. We may not be able to stop a war or a huge global injustice, but we do have the power to help one person at a time. It takes a courageous film to make such a statement, and a brilliant film-maker to deliver it, and that's just what The Constant Gardener achieves.
Fine performances that reside in Constant Gardner not only come from it's two leads but come from Bill Nighy who manages not to be funny, Danny Houston who's in loads of good films recently, and Hubert Kounde who proves it's the quiet ones you got to watch.
Constant Gardner hurts to watch, performances yes it's five stars, but i think it's a movie that is all to real, and for me that hits to close to the mark, to life.
Losing a loved one is a very hard thing for me and to watch another man go through that, it hurts so much and sets me off, until I'm a quivering mess.
The hopelessness, the injustice and that sometimes your enemy, the ones you were fighting are right back at home. In this regard CG is very clever and it's message hits home with a bitter aftertaste and a sharp pain tearing point.
Don't think i could watch this too often due to its realistic and then rather sad finish but it's a masterpiece nonetheless.
Like that last gun shot and blackness, Constant Gardner has one shot, and by heck it takes it!Don't like watching this too often but I think it was necessary in light of being necessary.
A Masterful film from the man who made City Of God.
Ralph Fiennes & Rachel Weisz are incredible.
Love never dies. It lives on inside us, that's the magic of Constant Gardner.
Sorry for going on and on,
Have a good weekend friends :) !posted 15 hours ago -

The Dark Knight
by Sam
What a masterpiece this film is! This is one of my all time favourite films ever because I just thought that basically everything in this film was perfect. This is one of the few films that I loved that had a lot of awesome qualities involved. Qualities like different styles of acting with the different sort of characters within the film. First of all I am going to start my review by saying about the plot. The plot is awesome. It is one of those plots that have quite a lot of different genres in it. It is obviously action packed and has now become my favourite action film of all time. It is really tense and suspenseful. It made my heart beat like it never has before but I am afraid it isnt my favourite thriller. Doesnt beat the suspense of Psycho, The Shining, Jaws and Silence Of The Lambs. This is also a very emotional film with a lot of dramatic turns and twists that occur in the film. It is a plot that sounds quite short but when you watch the film it isnt a short plot at all. It goes on but with a lot of good scenes and scenes that the viewers didnt know anything about before the film was released. The script fits perfectly with the style and creativity of the film. The film basically begins how Batman Begins ends really when Scarecrow appears at the very beginning and doesnt appear again in the film which is a bit of a relief because the film wouldnt be that good if Scarecrow was in the rest of the film. Christopher Nolan directed this film so well and because of this he has now officially become one of my all time favourite directors. I wasnt that keen on The Prestige that he directed but I loved Memento and Batman Begins. But Chris Nolan himself said that he wouldnt be able to make any better film than he has The Dark Knight. I dont think he has made one bad film really. They are all great successes. When you first see the title of this film, it doesnt really sound that strong really but when the film is on in front of you it fits perfectly with the plot and other various things in the film. It is quite bizarre because knight means like soldier or hero but it fits Batman perfectly because he is the Dark Knight. In other words like the dark hero. Now onto the characters and then I will write about each of the casts performances. Batmans character is obviously really good but the Batman character in this one is a lot darker with a lot more inventive technology like Alfred Pennyworth mostly helps Bruce with ideas of what to do with the technology but Lucius makes it for him and gives Bruce the equipment especially when Bruce can afford to buy it anyway because he is so rich. There is something that we see in Bruce in this film that we have never seen before. For example, he doesnt like killing people when he is Batman but when Joker comes along that is another matter. Also it brings out whether Batman is a real hero when he doesnt really kill any of the troublemakers of Gotham. He doesnt so much chuck the evil people away in a bin he mostly sweeps them out of the city and tries to keep peace within Gotham. Also, there isnt really that much talk about Batmans past in this film either because his past really effected him when he became Batman. But I wont say anymore about Batman because I might spoil it for you whether you have seen this film or not. The Joker is the best character in the whole film I think because he has a psychotic character to him and because he is a clown that makes the Joker even more of an evil, dangerous and psychotic character. In this film there is some secret past of the Joker that we didnt know about but as I said I am not going to say. There is a lot of different sort of situations that Joker plots on when terrorising Gotham. Like where, when, who and how he can perform terrorism in Gotham. It is like the Joker has a lot of accomplices but as he loses them he gains them back again which is quite bizarre but pretty easy aswell. The Joker is a character that can affect Batman not just physically in a fight but emotionally aswell. There is a comment about Heath Ledgers performance as the Joker later on in the review. Harvey Dent is a character who is making extra special out of himself like becoming the new hero of Gotham along with Batman. He is sort of like Bruce Waynes heir in the Wayne business. This film is making him become like the un-superhero Batman who is keeping peace in Gotham until the Joker comes along and then changes things in his life forever. He comes along at an awkward time between Bruce and Rachels relationship as friends as both of them have hidden feelings for each other. I didnt so much like Rachels character in this film but performance in this one was better than Batman Begins. Lieutenant Gordon gets more and more involved in this film. He is in a lot more scenes in different sorts of situations. Alfred and Lucius Fox are obviously involved in this film but not as involved as they both were in Batman Begins. Now, onto the acting Morgan Freeman was good as Lucius Fox again and so was Sir Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth. Gary Oldman improved a lot in this film. He was a lot more dramatic because his character became more personal and got more involved in not just the whole film in general but it the lives of most of the characters within the film particularly Batman and Harvey Dent. Well done, Gary!! Aaron Eckhart was excellent as Harvey Dent because he performed really well as a hero but also as a murderer as soon as he became Two-Face. I wouldnt refer Harvey Dent a villain at all because he soon went mad for a reason which contains a spoiler. The Two-Face make up that Aaron has to have on his face is absolutely superb because the one half of his real face obviously looks real but when you see his other half of his face as a like ripped apart and burned aswell face. Because the make up was so good on Two-Face, I couldnt really tell whether the half face was a mask or just computer visual effects. To me I think it was both mask and visual effects. When Harvey becomes Two-Face I really felt for him because of what he became and also because of something that happens. Maggie Gyllenhaals performance as Rachel Dawes is good but not brilliant. She acted a bit dull. I couldnt see her love for either Bruce or Harvey at all. But I did think that she was far better than Katie Holmes was as Rachel in Batman Begins. Christian Bale makes a very impactful and awesome return as Batman once again. Christians performance is a lot darker as Batman than Batman Begins was by far. He performs a lot more stunts and greater action sequences within the film. But the greatest performance of the whole film and probably one of the greatest performances of the year which is Heath Ledgers terrifying performance as the Joker. Heath creates a character that nobody has ever seen before. He delivers a performance that will be remembered for the ages and that can never be forgotten. Heath creates a voice that is completely different from Jack Nicholsons Joker not to mention his own voice. Heaths Joker is totally different to Jacks Joker because Heaths was more psychological and menacing but Jacks was more comical if you get what I mean. Like for example Jack Nicholsons make up makes him look like Jack Nicholson but with Heath Ledgers make up on and the wig and so forth makes it looks hard to identify the Joker in The Dark Knight as Heath Ledger. Some critics say and even I say that Jack Nicholsons Joker is very hard to beat and no one will ever beat him but that failed until I saw this film. I think Heath used a lot of different things that leaded up to his own Joker like watching psychological movies like A Clockwork Orange. He kept a diary during filming of how he can change things around in the character and also how he can perform his different talents as the Joker. The make-up is absolutely superb on Heath. The scars that go across his lips look like real scars unlike the Tim Burton version on Jack Nicholson. Heaths hair in this film suited the Joker perfectly too because the Joker can be imagined easily with long hair like Heath appears with in this film. Heaths Joker was more deadly than Jacks. A sick thing with Heaths Joker was that the Dark Knight Joker had yellow teeth, the actor was a lot younger and laugh was a lot better. Heaths Joker laugh is really joyful in a real psychological way. It is a laugh that can always stay in your head and cant stop thinking about. It is quite a quirky feeling but a really good one aswell if you understand what I mean. Heath Ledger brings a quote that the Joker has never stated before in a film. For example Why so serious? and there are some other spin-chilling quotes that Heath comes up with in this film which you will have to wait and see. His performance was so good in this film that his performance has become my favourite supporting actor performance even beating Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction. Heath will get an Oscar for his performance. I would be very surprised if he doesnt win or even doesnt get nominated. This is his film. It is a shame that he isnt around to applaud his performance as the Joker. This film will win Oscar for either Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger, definitely Best Sound, maybe Best Visual Effects and definitely Best Make Up. Best action film ever made. Best superhero film ever made and favourite film of 2008 so far.R.I.P: Heath Ledger.Hey, you should really see this!

Black Christmas
by BrianThank God, as I'd heard, this film was MUCH better than the pathetic waste of space that was the 2006 remake.
It's not hard to enjoy this film, despite the fact that it was made 34 years ago. Yes, you have to do your best to put yourself in the shoes of a 1974 moviegoer, but it's not too hard.
It was actually creepy, and funny in parts too (intentionally). Also, I laughed at some of the fashion/style of dress (what's up with the white people 'fros?)
Much better and I wish I had seen this one first.Wrong time of the year maybe, but finally got around to seeing this. Worth a rent for sure.

Man , this movie is a total creep for me , creepier than any other horror movie i ever watched and it's not "eye-candy" at all . It's dark , creepy and insane , it's not a fight club insanity , it's more like something really happens around you(especially in school .

Story :
Creepy and sinful and it was frightening enough for me ,more than any Japanese horror i've ever watched .
Score :
Almost unheard and when it was heard , it hurt my ears .
Directing :
Nothing special , he directed this movie just like any other indie amateur director .
Casting :Jennifer Aniston is a bit' akward here ,i know her as a sweet comedy or sunny actress . But her role as Teeny just very different , she's very different , dark and uncontrolled . But , she's the soul of the movie .
Jake Gyllenhaal is a abnormal man named Holden Caulfield . I saw an amateur actor here . But , Jake already good enough , he's frightening enough.
John C. Reilly . his role is simple and easy and he did it better than anyone else in this movie.
Overall :
Definitely not my fave . This movie didn't give me any pleasure i wanted .an "abnormality" from Aniston and Gyllenhaal

Shutter
by BrianOK, this has been done before, several times...and the whole, "I see Asian dead people" isn't scary or even creepy, but...
It was still better than I thought it was going to be, and it was nice to see Joshua Jackson in a halfways mainstream film for once. I do think he's a good actor who needs a new agent.
There was a "twist" in the middle which I figured out almost right away and a twist at the end which made it cool and enough to make it worth watching the DVD.
I will say that studios either need to abandon the whole genre tho entirely, or do something to liven it up a bit. Maybe a J horror-inspired ORIGINAL non-remake film that's not totally based on dead people haunting the living...Good for fans of Joshua Jackson, or if you a fan of the genre. Otherwise, nothing too special.

by Gee StevenThe story is cliched. The animation by far is a turning point in the world of animated features. From the start, the animation is exceptional. The characters are just portrayed so well. The actors doing the voice-overs put so much emotion into what the characters actually felt. This movie is great for family viewing.

The Dark Knight
by Alexander
''You just couldn't let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.'' Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.
Christian Bale: Bruce Wayne / Batman
Heath Ledger: The Joker
The Dark Knight basically begins from where Batman Begins left us last time. Things have changed and a new maniacal nemesis is at large. Cleverly we are instantly thrown into a ensuing bank robbery with some sharp modern music. The first segments of Dark Knight already firmly establish this is going to be a piece of unrivaled greatness.
When we get onto Batman and his antics we find that he has been imitated by others and his old friend Scarecrow is still up to no good, with shifty dealings. What follows are some brilliant action pieces blended with superb acting, with Actors of class under Nolan's direction being used to perfection.
Christian Bale as the dual identity Bruce & Batman, really shows us he's settled into the role. Giving a deep growling Batman with beast like grating tones and a seemingly unlimited strength and fury. As Bruce Wayne, on the outside to Gotham he's still that rich, complacent playboy who's living the life of luxury and at the same time burdening responsibilities and dark secrets.
Maggie Gyllenhall as Rachel Dawes was for me one of the disappointments of Dark Knight. I'm sorry but she may be a fine actress but she just wasn't attractive enough, her acting isn't question, it was alright, hardly memorable. I reckon they should of stayed with Katie Holmes for this sequel, for then even the people that didn't like her in the role would be happy, considering the outcome at least. I on the one hand wasn't phased when push came to shove and said character was gone from play, in my mind she did start to slow down the film.
Now Heath Ledger playing Joker, what can I say? Partly the huge success and interest has been due to this great Actor's performance being witnessed. After all this is Heath's last film he finished. Going on to his performance as Joker I have to say he is perfection, everytime he's on screen he's mesmerizing, every little thing he does which ranges from the sick depraved to the downright mad. Heath Ledger was a chameleon, a method actor, who had the ability to change, to shape himself into any part he played. Dark Knight is one of the finest examples of this, truly blasting Jack Nicholson's version apart and I guarantee an Oscar for him, or for his memory and in honour of this talent. I loved how immersed Heath had become in the Joker even giving us details to how his face had gotten into it's current state and his abusive childhood and father. Whenever we have a villain there is always a reason to how he got to that point and Nolan uses Heath to get this across effortlessly.
Joker never seized to make me laugh in appreciation despite what could be considered sick antics, I considered genius.
Who else could do a pen trick with someone's head? Dress as a nurse with a silencer in hand and his clownish face glistening? Hide in a body-bag to infiltrate a mob boss's joint? Who else could immortalize Batman's most famous nemesis Joker? Without a doubt Heath Ledger bar none.Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two Face was a really interesting character. He played this politician extremely well, with all his good intentions and honourable ways, Harvey hides a dark side too. References to his coin are used regularly and help us understand the reasons for his later fascination with chance and luck deciding fate. I think Harvey Dent was covered nicely in this, getting across the whole growing hate he supposedly receives from Batman after he saves him and unfortunately Rachel isn't so lucky. Two-face, Harvey's alter-ego to my mind wasn't really that developed which is understandable given the amount of detail here to cram in and what with the Joker unleashed Nolan still does a top notch job. The effects on his face were breath-taking although I was starting to worry that Dark Knight maybe becoming unrealistic and veering towards more cartoony details in it's villains. But same with Batman Begins the Scarecrow was slightly more comic like and I found the whole realism in both Begins and Dark Knight to be a major achievement to me.
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon really excelled in his role this time. Not only does Gordon have more to do but he's in this awesome trio of Harvey, Bats and himself working together to save and help Gotham. I'm really pleased Gary Oldman & Heath Ledger got to do a scene together too, not to mention Bale too. The chemistry they all share and the talent rocketed through anything and everything. Nolan cleverly keeps the aspect of Gordon's family being important to him and later we remember this, and it helps us relate to his character when things unravel.
Morgan Freeman & Michael Caine seem to have less to do this time round. With Caine taking most of the first half of the movie while Freeman takes the 2nd half to his chest.
The Dark Knight was everything I expected it to be and it's certainly the dark masterpiece I predicted, but I do get the feeling that it's been overly hyped for what it consists of. See it not just for Heath's performance which is a defining and immortalized, but also see it because Dark Knight is the greatest comic book/graphic novel to movie ever. DC comics & Warner Bros. must be beaming right now with this piece of gold.
Dark Knight really does have the last laugh. An astonishing achievement that really does follow up a masterpiece. Let's face it, a sequel is coming, without the need to get Two-Face to call it for us, we know it's coming Nolan.
Perfection.

Heath Ledger is getting an Oscar in his memory for this! What a performance!! Dark Knight truly is the shining beacon of DC and the best Batman yet.
Christian Bale was an angry beast of a Batman once again while Aaron Eckhart & Gary Oldman give star quality acting.
Maggie Gyllenhall only did one thing right.
(So unattractive, seriously...-sigh-)

Wanted
by mrvnDirected by : Timur Bekmambetov
Casts : Angelina Jolie,James McAvoy,Morgan Freeman,Common
In-One-Sentence: : Matrix:Replication
The Review:
It's a typical Hollywood fashion,to repeat the same thing twice,The Matrix and now,Wanted.But luckily,with such of similarity,Wanted can stand as it's own,a rapidly vast action movie,gripping and absurdly entertaining.Wanted is as much as The Matrix,endless flash of action and stylish cut of angles through-out the movie.
Taken from it's trailer,we've already assumed Wanted has promising action sequences and Angelina Jolie will kick some butt here.And the trailer didn't dissappoint.Although,people want to go to the cinema to get a piece of the world most cherish actress,they got more,a fun ride of shooting parade and R-Rated gore,as seen clearly in this picture.
James McAvoy,merely as half as he did in Atonement,is surpsingly sharp and immensely fun,gives the movie thrill it should have,as a pathetic salesman turn assasin.While,Angelina-never been sexier before-Jolie is eventually owned the movie.And Morgan Freeman's performance was equally striking.
But wether you like it or not,people is going to compare this out of The Matrix,visual treat,almost close,and the concept,I see a contrast.They make bullet curved through the air,should try harder,not even wowed me enough.
The 360 Spin: :
Overshadowed by Matrix's grace.But WANTED is still will rock you to the core!
Formula:
{ (Hitman + Smokin'Aces) * The Matrix } / Die Hard 2 = Wanted"Kill one,save a thousand" Fox Hey, you should really see this!
