Batman Movie - The Dark Knight
I'd seen the 6 minute Bank heist clip, every preview, felt the hype, so me and Jim decided on a late night at the theatre to catch the Dark Knight. Beginning at 12:01 and being taken off the wild ride at 2:45 AM. We started looking for tickets on Thursday and the theatre had 3 screens for the midnight showing. By midnight there were 8 screens showing Batman, wasn't Mama Mia premiering too?

As I walked into the theatre a young guy was passing out Gotham Times newspapers. I went out of my way to get one. Before I got seated they were out of them and people were coming up to me asking about it. The newspaper is filled with minor references to the current movie and the previous movie so it's a nice souvenir

Overall this is a really good movie, long, but still really good. Heath Ledger played Joker perfectly. I'm not saying that because he's deceased, I'm saying it because it's true. He nailed CrAzY, Jack Nicholson looked like a clown compared to the dark, tormented, lunatic that Heath portrayed. It's worth dropping $10 just to see his unbelievable chaos inducing Joker.

If you don't know Batman history then the second villain that's introduced will be a surprise to you. You will enjoy this movie.

Still Sleepy,
