The Dark Knight

NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA... Batman!

Geoff and I took in the advance screening of 'The Dark Knight' last night (thanks for getting us the passes, babe!) and it was glorious. All the hype you've been hearing about how great this movie is, how it's more a film than a superhero movie, how Heath Ledger is deserving of an Oscar nomination, how it's a contender for one of the best movies of the year? It's all true.

Christian Bale was good again as Batman, and the rest of the cast was solid. But Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart totally stole the show. When one of them was on the screen, you literally can't look away.

So go and see it. Maybe don't take your kids - it's pretty dark and moderately violent (though they don't show anything on screen and let your imagination fill in the blanks, which is waaay creepier, in my opinion). But you don't want to miss this one, and it's going to be better in theatres.
