The Dark Knight







I went to see a 10:20 IMAX viewing of The Dark Knight and all I have to say is Wow! This movie was awesome especially on the huge IMAX screen. We sat in the 4th of 5th row right in the middle so we saw everything. Theater was sold out and I couldn't even tell. They had even added a 1:35AM showing on a Monday that is how popular this movie is right now and for good reason. It is definitely the best movie I have seen all Year!!


Heath Ledger is amazing in his role as the Joker and Christian Bale is stellar as Batman. The action was stellar and the special effects were topnotch. The cast of this movie was just spectacular. Ok I'm running out of Adjectives to say how much I loved this movie. I won't get into any plot here. But if you see one movie this year on the big Screen. See The Dark Knight!!

Hancock


Here I go reviewing another Comic Book Hero type movie.


This was no where near the caliber of the first two Spiderman movies, and I still like Iron Man better, but it was a fun movie. Better then Daredevil and just as long as Xmen 3 (which was too short for what it was).
The story follows along with a guy who doesn't remember who is or where he comes from. He's been around awhile. I won't tell you how long. You'll have to watch to movie to find out the specifics. He's been living in LA and almost everyone doesn't like him because he causes too much colateral damage when he does his "heroic" deeds. He's drinks all the time. Then one day he saves, Jason Bateman's from getting smashed by a train. Bateman is a PR man and wants to help improve everyone's opinion of Hancock. His wife is played by Charlize Theron and you can tell from the moment she sets her eyes on Hancock something is up. Will Hancock sober up, will he find out who he is, and what is up with Charlize?
