The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is rated well for violence and anger. If you enjoy special effects, they were very well done, especially the pyrotechnics and the chase scenes.
Heath Ledger was amazing as the joker, a villain you wanted to like despite his despicable manner and menacing exterior. He stayed in character throughout the movie and his performance really stole the show. Christian Bale was only mildly entertaining as Batman, though his character was fairly true to the old original dark comic figure. Maggie Gyllenhall was not believable as the former girlfriend of Batman and current girl of the district attorney. She did not appear to be as confused about her feelings as she should have been. After all, Batman and the attorney were in several scenes with her and she did not appear to be in any real dilemma. Michael Caine was wonderful as Alfred.
The movie was thoroughly enjoyable despite the few character problems!

Indiana jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

I liked this movie for its campiness and for all of the references to the first Indiana Jones movie. However, the quest for the crystal skull was just too easy....the quest should have had more pitfalls along the way and Indy should have had a somewhat harder task to determine how to find the skull. In this movie, Indy had all of the answers way too quickly. The action was fun and it was wonderful to have Marian back....anyone can see that this story can be continued and that the Indy Jones saga will carry on for many more movies.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
