Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

by far the darkest of the series.
the story is now rapidly funneling into that moment like the the star wars prequels, we know that there will be this confrontation and now we wait with baited breadth.
great visuals here, quidditch in the snow was stunning, looked almost real.
some of the actors have truly become better at their acting craft (like harry and hermione), while others (like drago) really are becoming more dreadful, but this is the risk of having the same child actors grow up through a series who never really went to school for this.
it is amazing how far we have come from the sugar-coated first films, but like anakin skywalker, innocence gives way to rage and darkness.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Knight on the towne

The Dark Knight was the darkest Batman yet, and the performances were excellent. The score by Hanz Zimmer and James Newton Howard was pulsating and organic which gave the images on the screen a sleek intensity.
Not sure the love for Rachel Dawes was really as clear as it was needed, perhaps due to the performance of the character. So much of the inner turmoil of major characters depended on their love for her and it just didn't seem so real.
Heath Ledger's performance was understated and masterly.
His monologue upside down was a performance to be remembered.
It captured brilliantly the themes of the Batman universe and perhaps our own.
Cristopher Nolan brought the straight play to the screen. His choreography, the nuances of dialogue, each moment was placed down on film with purpose and it came together beautifully.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
