The Order(The Sin Eater) is a wicked spiritual thriller from Brian Helgeland, the director of Payback and A Knights Tale. It tells the story of a young priest, Alex Bernier, who is sent to Rome to investigate the death of a revered member of the Order, a secret cult of priests that has existed within the Church. Bernier's investigation leads to a wicked truth much more threatening than death itself. Heath Ledger is an actor who is nearly impossible to dislike. His charming and boyish personality really shines in this film, making his character a lot more compelling and engaging. Ledger's natural charm and genuine good looks are what make his films so successful, he's an actor who can portray a wide variety of characters. His performance in this film is phenomenal and I was highly impressed by him, like I usually am with all of his performances. Shannyn Sossamon is simply an adorable and compelling actress with the ability to fully capture your attention within seconds. I fell in love with her the second I first saw her and I have not once been disappointed by her. Shannyn is beautiful and she clearly has a unique acting ability that I enjoy immensely. Her performance is wonderful. Brian Helgeland is a director whose body of work is quite interesting. He's directed three films that are completely different from one another, and has written many other films that have been praised by critics and movie-goers alike. This film is his most compelling film of his career as a director. Brian is a filmmaker who seems to like making something different with each film and I admire him for that. There are countless directors who arent adventurous enough to try something new and simply repeat and make the same film over and over again. Quentin Tarantino is a filmmaker who comes to mind, his films are too much alike and Helgeland's films are somewhat different from each other. Brian Helgeland is one of my favorite directors and writers. The Order, which is also known under a different title "The Sin Eater", is a riveting film and one of my favorites. The story is complex and I was completely engaged in everything that was happening. The performances are superb, they really grab you and take you within the heart of the story and never let go until the final scene. The script is smart and the direction is skillful. The Order is a masterful thriller that really took me by surprise. I highly recommend this film, especially for fans of Heath Ledger, he is exceptional in this film...

Casanova is a delightful romantic comedy from Lasse Hallstrom, the director of Chocolat and The Cider House Rules. It tells the story of the fabled romantic who, after failing to win the affection of a particular Venetian woman, sets out to discover the real meaning of love. Heath Ledger's genuine charm is really what makes this film so enjoyable, his performance is simply a lot of fun. The character of Casanova is immensely romantic, extremely good looking, and delightfully charming, and Heath Ledger is perfect. He really captures the character in a way that no other actor could, which is what I love about his performances. He really makes the character his own. Sienna Miller is clearly more than a stunningly beautiful girl, she is an enjoyable and fun young actress. Ive seen some of her other work and I was extremely impressed with one film called Interview, she portrayed such a compelling character and showed an impressive acting ability in that film and this film as well. Jeremy Irons and Oliver Platt are wonderful as supporting characters. Platt adds much humor to the story and Irons is always a convincing villain. All of the performances are delightful. Lasse Hallstrom is a Swedish director who I have been aware of for years and his work has been an inspiration to me for as long as I can remember. Casanova is by far his most enjoyable film and one of my favorites. Casanova is a film to fall in love with, its simply a lot of fun and immensely entertaining from beginning to end. The story is clever and fun, and I was completely engaged in everything that was happening. The performances are sensational, I was impressed by everyone involved in this film. The script is smart and the direction is masterful. I highly recommend this film. Heath Ledger is charming and simply pectacular...
