100% Perfection!!!!

I have never been so moved by a single movie. The plot was intensely clear, and the messages were so true they invoked real pain. Pandora may be a fantasy world, but the ideals are significant enough to serve as a reality check. BE your own Avatar! Live well and righteous. But also remain humble. Stand strong for what you truly believe in. I absolutely loved this movie!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

G.I. Joe, The Rise Of The Cobra

For a vastly CGI film, this was entertaining, but had a very slow beginning. Lots of action, and GREAT effects, but the storyline was a bit convoluted at first. Once it got rolling though, it was really intense and a lot of fun. You have to lose yourself in the story line, which is clearly NOT supposed to be steeped in actual reality. But it is a lot of fun, and a good matinee movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Dark Knight Shines Brighter than expected

Wow. Very powerful performances and a completely rich storyline make this film easily one of my all time favorites. Heath Ledger. It has been said that there will never be an Oscar given out for a Comic Book Movie, but there needs to be. The man fairly blasted out of the screen with a far larger than life performance of The Joker. Nichelson was the first Joker, and therefore will always have our hearts. but Ledger captured our pounding hearts with his brilliantly acted slide into the depths of depravity and madness. His "Joker" was a new twist on an old character that showed us a side of "the human animal" rarely understood; the side of those that live life without consequences or possibility of reform. Christin Bale is as always, fineky defined as BatMan, and is no less impressive in this film. His chiseled features were somewhat of a shock, rendering him an even more "steeled" look as the Dark One we all have come to love. I didn't quite get whether he had a cold, or perhaps the mask caused a strange affected speech pattern, but it was noticeable in this film. He sounded unusually nasal, but it didn't mar his performance for more than a few moments. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine, always the deeply loyal and focused characters could not have offered us more. And the ever effective Gary Oldman was nothing less than brilliant. I didn't even miss the old Rachel, because Maggie Gyllenhall's Rachel Dawes was cleverly portrayed and filled in every possible gap.
If you haven't seen this film, what are you waiting for? There is nothing about this movie that demands a matinee price. It is a rich and powerful performance by all involved!
