I watched Dark Knight with my family yesterday at SM Clark so I decided to blog about it while it's still fresh.

First of all, my rating for this film is a 7 or an 8 (10 being the highest and 0 being the lowest). Why because The Dark Knight is, in my humble opinion, the best Batman Movie yet. Here, Batman seems more... mature and less prone to some chivalrous schtick that more often than not ends up getting somebody killed during the cross-fire. What happened to him was very tragic and I empathize with him, same with two-face's situation. It's just that, with two-face, he allowed grief and loss to overrule his entire being something I understand yet can not accept as valid reason to go on a killing spree. Aaron Eckhart (Harry Dent/Two-Face) did very very good, IMHO. Which is why his character feels so... real.

It's just sad and unfortunate that Heath Ledger passed away already because he really is a good actor and his portrayal of The Joker is the best I've seen. And yes, according to his past interviews, his portrayal of The Joker is so powerful it really affecting him.

I truly enjoyed watching the Dark Knight, fully developed character and good plot... A little too heavy on the psyche but good. With that, I leave you with my favorite line/s in the movie:

"Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now...and so we'll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector...a dark knight."

*Dreamy sigh* I've watched Superman twice now and I must admit, I really enjoyed watching it. First because it was too popular for me; that my mind just automatically cringed at the thought of watching it. Good thing I took my own advice and followed my instinct. It was... is... WOW! The story itself is quite catching. I thought then that Superman's storyline'd be god-awful because of all the advertisements about it; that it'd be cliché. It isn't. Heck, I didn't even like Superman. ***Spoiler Alert*** Personally, I like Batman better. Superman's just too... perfect. In this movie, though, he is shown in a different light. That not everything is a-ok in his life. He was shown in such a way that you can't help but FEEL for this guy. Oh, and I hate Lois Lane now. Lolz why can she not wait for him? If you know you love this person -and you have a child to prove it to boot! Would you not wait and ask for explanation? Or maybe it's just the romantic girl in me that's talking. Still, I can't help but want to up and hug him till the big bad monster is gone. Althoguh, his features a sooo clean cut I really had to think, "Is he really a real, live person?" He's like a very good CGI. Oh yeah, the humor's really good. Especially the "It's a bird, it's a plane" thingy. Oh, and also with the "...statistically speaking, flying is still the safest way to travel" bit. Current Mood: Awestruck, Starstruck, Blah.

two nights ago my friends and i watched charlie and the chocolate factory at greenbelt 3... it was great!!! as in, WOW! hehe although they changed songs at the movie. no more, "come with me, and you'll be..." lolz well, it's still really good and a bit mordernized, IMO. Oommpa Loompas really made my day though. can't make up my mind if they scare me, or if they amuse me. kinda disturbing, they are... needless to say, the movie is really good. =)

i watched Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven last night and i have one comment. it. is. SWEET. (got to work late because of it, too) though i don't generally like wars and violence, i find this movie, touching. i still think it's balian's fault why there WAS a war to begin with.
