Batman
PG-13
I remember this release when I was 12 but I didn't remember the story. Since everyone is talking about The Dark Knight I decided to watch the first Batman movie again. I like Tim Burton's style a lot. However this movie is not really my cup of tea. The story is simple and predictable and Kim Basinger screams too much and looks llike a dumb blonde, which irritated me a bit. Jack Nicholson is pretty evil, a little scary, Michael Keaton on the other hand did not convince me, a pity that he was chosen to play Batman.
As Always in a Tim Burton movie I LOVED Danny Elfman's music.
I did not like this movie at all.
Art School Confidential
R
A story with a strange twist. I am not sure if I understood. I think it's one of those movies you either love or hate. I haven't decided yet which I do. Never seen something similar before.
Candy

I had the impression that I was watching an autobiographic movie about Heath Ledger. Not that I think that Ledger was a junkie, however he came to an end rather similarly. The entire story I thought about how ironic all this was.
Geoffrey Rush was great as usual.
It was very touching and I think this movie may open the eyes of some younger watchers. Hopefully it will open their eyes.
The War of the Roses
R
This movie never gets boring, not even after seeing it a dozen of times. In my opinion the best work that Danny de Vito, Kathleen Turner & Michael Douglas ever did together.
Kung Fu Panda
PG
The first part of the movie was really boring and I wondered what went into my head to even considering to buy a ticket for this movie. After 40 minutes or so it went better, funnier and totally unexpectedly me and my mum had a giggle attack seeing the last scene, it was really funny.

Snow Cake

Where is that oscar?? What a super great movie!! Did one of you ever remember having left the theatre with a smile on your face after seeing a movie where a young woman is killed in a car accident? Well, I kept smiling during the entire movie, I was glad because this movie is showing life as it really is. People who meet new people as a result of a common tragedy. Developing friendship, learning to understand. I swear I will never watch the oscars ever again if this movie (or one of the actors) is not receiving an oscar!

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
R
Best movie of 2006! All thanks to the brilliant story of German writer Patrick Süskind! This movie doesn't need Hoffman or Rickman to be a success, but it certainly is an asset! I'm very impressed by the performance of Ben Whishaw. He had not many lines but his acting was beyond perfection. He had help from director Tom Tykwer, who chose the right music and sound effects. I read the general bad critics about this movie, and I conclude that I don't understand the critics when they write that " This movie is not so convincing because Tykwer does not succeed in making the viewer feel the world of scents..." Well to me this is bullshit. When I read the book I did not smell the perfumes either. The greatness of the film is that the sarcasm, with which this story was written, was interpreted extremely well by the cast. The emotions were there and the movie had a terrific scenery and beautiful costumes, next to the incredible story and a convincing cast! This is truly a GREAT movie. Must put it under "My favourite movies" immediately!

Bram Stoker's Dracula
R
I AM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THIS MOVIE! This is by far the best horror movie I saw in my entire life. Nothing in this movie can improve, everything here is perfect. Gary Oldman in his best role ever, Winona Ryder & Sadie Frost give brilliant performances and Keanu Reeves, Anthony Hopkins & Tom Waits are great supporting actors. The soundtrack of this movie is the best one I've ever heard. See it and you'll love this version! AND BE AWARE THAT LOVE NEVER DIES!

The Dark Knight
by MagaliNow this film is just perfect.
The first thing to mention is Heath Ledger performance. Lots of my friends had mentioned this before, saying how great he was and so on an so forth. But I guess that no description can really explain the brilliance of his acting. He's by far, the best joker ever. Just marvellous.
Another one, is.... thanks God!!! Thanks Nolan, or whoever is responsible for that!!! thanks for getting Katie Holmes out!!! Thank you so so much.
And finally.. what can I say? I love Christian Bale as Batman (the best-looking Bruce Wayne in the history). The effects, the action scenes, the funny parts, the script, the visuals in general... everything is nothing but great. Flawless.There's no way you can regret watching this film.

The Dark Knight
by Claudia"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
The Dark Knight was a film that I had extremely high expectations set for. As my most anticipated film of 2008, with one of the most talented actors ever - Heath Ledger - in his last completed performance, and a convincing take on the Batman franchise with director Christopher Nolan's first Batman film, Batman Begins in 2005; this could have easily gone either way. I have been extremely disappointed before with films like this that have had my excitement ever since they have been announced, but The Dark Knight has proven to be one that I am incredibly happy with. Astoundingly happy with in fact; it has proven to be an absolute masterpiece and did not disappoint me in any way at all.
The Dark Knight has what I consider to be a extensive running time, but I can say with certainty that it was one of the best two and a half hours of my life. The whole film overall was striking and potent to an extreme so far that I was speechless throughout the whole viewing. It has been a long, long time since watching a movie has had this much of an impact on myself.
Being a fan of the Batman franchise in general, and particularly the recent Batman Begins, the whole idea of a sequel to the Christopher Nolan addition was spectacular even just to think about. Finally seeing it on the big screen was almost impossibly amazing to watch. The story was unbelievably powerful and transfixing, creating an atmosphere so alluring and compelling that the viewer has no choice but to become completely connected within the movie. Gotham has had its share of notorious villains before, but the new wave of crime coming from the psychopathic killer, The Joker, sends chaos throughout the city. Some consider Batman a hero, while others see him as a villain on his own. But when The Joker is exposed to the city, the two are willing to change every part of what they believe in to stop the other. In amongst these two defining characters, several other unlikely ones are introduced, bringing even more chaos to Gotham and creating an even more intricate plot.
Christopher Nolan's directing was phenomenal and completely ingenious. Coming back after Batman Begins with no mistakes and absolutely no moments that weren't needed, his talent shines with his latest masterpiece. Every single moment during The Dark Knight was enthralling and engrossing beyond anything I have experienced before. I was left in awe, and I'm sure the whole cinema was stunned by how affecting this film is. The ending is conclusive, but unsurprisingly is left with more than enough space for a third installment of Nolan's Batman films, which I would be all for is that was the case. After seeing Nolan's sequel, it's clear to me that he simply can't go wrong.
The screenplay was riveting and was exactly what was needed. Perfect, in my view. Some of the scenes were indescribable with the excellence in screenplay, and each line was perfect and added entirety to the overall film. It was incredibly gripping to watch, and sometimes even humorous. There were times when the whole cinema erupted with laughter - particularly parts coming from the joker. One of the greatest things about The Dark Knight is that it should do more than satisfy any viewer; bringing all kinds of genres into place and a variety of different aspects shown.
Christian Bale could be the best actor to ever take the role of Batman in my opinion. He executes to character perfectly and gives a mesmerizing and influential performance that is both gripping and engaging. Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker has left me speechless. He went into the character very deep and really 'became' the Joker. He is chilling and terrifying throughout his role performance, giving a very different and unique take on the Joker, and for better. Just by taking one glance at the criminal is spine-chilling, and the unusual but also remarkable voice has the same effect. I will mention in particular a certain scene with the "why so serious" speech, which had a huge impact on what I thought of the performance overall. That scene was indescribable... it really showed the depth that Heath put into his character and the darkness to the Joker. It also hit me with reality of what talent Heath still had to show us but we will never see, but I am grateful that we get to witness his mind-blowing performance in The Dark Knight. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent is very powerful to watch. His performance exceeded my expectations and is incomparable to any other actor that could have pulled off the role as well as he did. Watching Michael Caine return once again as Alfred, Bruce Wayne's faithful butler has made me more aware of his incredible talent. He is a more than worthy addition to this already strong cast. Maggie Gyllenhaal was also brilliant to watch, giving a riveting performance, a lot better than I would have expected. I thought that Gary Oldman's character, James Gordon, was focused on a lot more than I would have predicted. This was a positive thing of course, with Gary Oldman delivering an exceptional performance far better than any other could match. Morgan Freeman was also an excellent addition to the cast, adding a whole lot more diversity to the actors, and of course his performance is transfixing as you would imagine it to be. Overall, the cast of The Dark Knight were incredible and perfectly fitted to their characters, the kind of cast that is very rare to find with the diverse and immense talent.
The Dark Knight cannot be described simply, if it can be described at all. There is no option with this, it's a must see if you want to call yourself a fan of the actors, director, Batman franchise, or even just a fan of movies in general; you must see it for yourself. Ledger's last performance is captivating just as the other performances are, the directing is riveting, the script is gripping and the overall movie is stunning, striking and noticeably dark. I have no doubt that this film will earn the success it deserves... this is a true masterpiece.It's been over 24 hours since I saw this and I'm still in awe. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece.. see it as soon as you can!

Mamma Mia!
by StephanieA fun movie with tons of good songs. Unfortunately, the story does get left behind from time to time but the costumes, the beautiful settings and the actors' enthusiasm makes up for that.
I was surprised by Meryl Streep's singing and "Slipping through my fingers" as well as "The winner takes it all" are very emotional.
The only thing that I didn't like that much was that the three potential fathers as well as the mom were portrayed as being hippies when the daughter was conceived, even though the rest of the movies is set today and she is only 20. I usually associate the 60's and 70's with hippies and not the late 80's. But oh well I guess that doesn't matter as it still is a very enjoyable movie!Hey, you should really see this!

Kung Fu Panda
by LadyAfter a bit of a slow start, this film really comes to life about half way through, the animation of course was great, Jack Black's voice completely matched the main character and the ideas and choreography that went into this film was quite something.
This feature length cartoon really has captured something from the Martial Arts movies and with clever little morals for the young ones to catch on to. Kung Fu Panda was a really enjoyable film.One for the kids (adults too?)

Wanted
by LadySome really impressive effects in this film throughout. Well done to James McAvoy for landing this role, of which he played the main character well. The storyline was more impressive than some other graphic novels, despite a lot of it being pretty predictable.
Angelina jolie didn't really put any kind of stamp on it, other than pretty action chick.
Overall a very enjoyable action flick and again, impreesive effects, not sure how much of that came across better as it was on the big screen.Hey, you should really see this!

Nevertheless, things take a bad turn and he has to learn to deal with taking resposibility as a part of growing up.

Candy
by Claudia
"We had a lot going for us. We'd found the secret glue that held all things together. In a perfect place, where the noise did not intrude, our world was so very complete."
Candy is an incredibly beautiful and powerful drama that kept me engrossed and compelled within the story for the entire length of the film. Within this potent film is a life drama full of love, drugs and an inseparable bond between two people.
The reason I picked up Candy to begin with was the fact that Heath Ledger has the lead role, but as this finished I found that I had witnessed much more than the gripping performance by him; but also one of the most expressive and affecting stories that I have ever seen. Heath Ledger is Dan, a poet who is very much in love with an art student; Candy. The two of them share the same lifestyle of an addiction to heroin and a lack of money. As the story goes on, it becomes clear that the only thing that matters to them is each other, and they will go to the extremes in order to stay with each other; nothing else matters. This has been done before - perhaps many times, but never to the extent that Candy has achieved. Usually this would start off with the meeting of the two, and then show how their two lives are affected as they change their lifestyle to be with each other. But this is much different, much more interesting and intriguing. We start off with the two of them already indivisible from each other, already as passionate towards each other as they are addicted to the drug. We then travel deeper into the story and meaning of the film, the consequences of the drug and their lifestyle appear and desperation takes place, causing them to give up everything but their love for each other.
Although the whole of this film is touching and strong, there were certainly parts which were especially emotional and heartrending. The brilliant performances from the actors combined with the innovative and convincing story was arousing to an extent that I had never seen before, making the viewing mesmerizing and beautiful to watch. The directing by Neil Armfield created the atmosphere needed - both gripping and striking to watch. Something I didn't know before watching Candy, was that it is in fact based a novel - 'Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction' by Luke Davies. And it's that compelling story that holds the whole film together, that is the basis of this film which I have loved, and now I am more than interested in reading it.
The soundtrack of Candy somehow added to the realism of the story and perfectly matched with the events at the time. This kind of thing is often overlooked with a story like this, but I certainly appreciated it. During various scenes the score made the entire film more influential and absorbing, which is exactly what was needed to make this film even better than what could have been achieved.
Heath Ledger was exceptional and Unparalleled, exceeding everything I would have expected from him. This has to be one of his best performances that I have seen, and watching this has made me admire him for his talents, as well as distressed that he had so much more to offer that we will never see. Abbie Cornish was incredible for her role as Candy, creating a character that had my sympathy as she expressed every emotion perfectly and spoke every line to a level that was incomparable. The chemistry between Ledger and Cornish was also something that can't be compared, the two of them together on screen is hard to describe - they have talent together that is very rare to see. Geoffrey Rush was a nice addition to the cast, and I felt he gave an incredible performance which was needed for his role. Overall, the acting in Candy can simply be described as brilliant and potent. A cast perfectly fitted to the characters, all giving moving performances.
In the end, Candy was a riveting and expressive film that I am very glad to have seen. Full of amazing performances and an interesting and unique story, this is a film that really should be seen by all fans of dramas and love stories. Of course, if you are a fan of Heath Ledger then this is a film that you simply can't ignore. A successful Australian drama film.Hey, you should really see this! Very powerful and moving Aussie drama and love story. Heath Ledger was amazing. This is a must-see!
