The Dark Knight

You've seen this movie, right? If you haven’t... I think you're the only one. I'm not sure how to exactly describe what this movie is about, but I will try. Batman (Bale) is faced with the dilemma of giving in to Joker (Ledger) by revealing his identity or letting his city crumble.

Now... Let's move on to what I thought of this movie...

A.MAY.ZING. Amazing. Holy crap!

Heath Ledger by far stole this movie! He did such an awesome drop portraying Joker. SUCH an awesome job, not that I have much to compare it to. But, wow! Is all I have to say about that role. WOW! It's such a shame that he is no longer with us.

Lover and I will always turn the TV to this movie if it is on. We own it in Blu Ray and watch it when we are bored. I don't want to shoot anyone else's acting down because everyone did an amazing job in their roles.

This movie is a classic. It is definitely going to go down with The Wizard of OZ.

Expert Says: 5 Stars, Classic movie, amazing, a definite must see.

A Knight's Tale

As I mention in every single movie I watch that is based in the "olden days," I love these movies!

I have to admit, playing "We Will Rock You" by Queen kind of ruined the mood. That wasn't the only time some good 'ole Rock & Roll was played during this movie either. *sigh*

Did anyone ever watch the "updated" remake of Romeo and Juliet, the one with Leonardo DeCaprio? Horrible, right? They took a good fashioned movie and tried to modernize it. This is kind of what The Knight's Tale is. A good old fashioned story that is modernized.

The only keeping this movie from getting less that 3 stars is Heath Ledger, he is brilliant as a knight and just. Yum! Oh! I must admit that I did greatly enjoy listening to the Introduction of the Knight Orik (AKA Ledger). That character did a good job too!

The fact that there was a moral of the story helps the star count too. "Change your stars." Oh! The "follow your feet" one was really good too...

Let me help you understand a little better. William (Ledger) is the son of a peasant who is following around a knight and helping him train for tournaments, etc... Said knight kills himself, so William posses as a knight. Eventually, he is dubbed a 'Sir,' makes his blind peasant father proud, changes his stars (i.e. destiny), and follows his feet home.

10 Things I Hate About You

This movie has been playing on HBO a lot lately this month, (well at least it was in September). I finally got around to re-watching it.

The movie is about a single Dad out to destroy is teenager daughters' lives. Well, not entirely, but that is how is seems to Bianca (Oleynik), when her Dad enforces the new rule of her only being allowed to date when her older, socially challenged sister (Stiles) dates. This creates new challenges and controversies on who gets the girl in the end. Is partying, drinking, relationships, popularity, or even prom in Bianca's future?

Okay... So the movie is a little corny, a little realistic, and a lot unrealistic. But I love Heath Ledger, the music kicks ass, and everyone gets what they want in the end. Oh yea! And Bianca "beats the hell out of some guy." A chick beats up a guy? Perfect! It has good morals and the Dad is totally funny! He makes the girls walk around wearing the "baby belly." It will make any teenage girl realize her Dad isn't so strict after all.
