Land of the Blind 2006, R)
Excellent film, an interesting and dark (yet at some points still humorous) story of the corruptibility of humanity and evils of power. Can the world ever change? |

The Dark Knight 2008, PG-13)
What an absolutely amazing film. I haven't been blown away by a movie in theatres for a long time. Ledger's performance was way beyond what I'd expected, which is a feat in and of itself since I had pretty high expectations. Ledger's Joker was a simply fascinating character, full of quirks and insanities which grip your imagination and keep you wondering what he will do next. He totally stole the show. Besides Ledger, though, there were plenty of other great characters, particularly Bale's Batman & Eckhart's Harvey 'Two-Face,' and I quite liked Oldman's Gordon character as well. (I have to say, though, that although it was nice to see a woman character who didn't have the cliche, typical Hollywood girl look, I didn't care for Gyllenhaal's character; good acting, but the character herself didn't draw much attention from me :/) All in all, stunning, amazing, fabulous movie and a real INSTANT FAVORITE! /end nerd rave |

The Mist 2007, R)
Wow, I really loved this. King's horror stories have something that most horror movies don't, and this is a very good example of that. Instead of completely focusing on the gore and horror, the film also shows a lot about how people will manipulate the fear of others and use religion to justify horrible things. |

Watchmen 2009, R)
Let me get my complaints out of the way first: Rorschach's voice wasn't at all what I imagined (but it still worked) and he had a bit too much emotion; Silk Spectre II's costume: umm, "SILK" Spectre, not Latex Spectre, ok? it's like they think women never watch these movies or something; Nite Owl II's snow suit was not undignified enough (if you've read the comic, you know what I mean); they capitalized on the sex scenes too much for my taste or enjoyment; Dr. Manhattan's voice was also way off from what I'd imagined (but it still worked); and my BIGGEST COMPLAINT: that weak-ass "evil plot" they came up with to replace what Ozymandias really does in the comics. LAME! The comic's ending is so great, why would you kick it under the rug for that relatively boring ending? |

The audio is intense and amazing, and the visuals are stunning. A very thought-inspiring yet disquieting triumph of film. |
