Movies Reviews
Review for The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience - Must Go! - Words Cannot Describe How Good This Movie Was
Wow! As my title says, words cannot describe how good this movie was, but I will try. I was just blown away by the story-as was the case with "Batman Begins," this was so much more than just a movie based on a comic book. The story was engrossing and I just loved how it ended. Heath Ledger's performance was beyond belief, and Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Aaron Eckhart were all excellent. Most people I know didn't care for Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel, but I liked her (she wasn't perfect for the role, but enjoyable nonetheless). The effects were also amazing to see-in fact, it was not easy to look at Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face! If you are one of the few people who haven't seen this yet, go as soon as humanly possible. Seeing it in IMAX is pretty cool, but I doubt it is necessary (I didn't see the regular version, so cannot say for sure). Just see it in whichever version you can see sooner. It is a must-see and should be seen in the theater, August 25, 2008
Review for Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Go - Kept us entertained for 90 mins
