In a word brilliant. I love this movie to pieces. Ellen page is a star, Michael Cera is superb and the soundtrack is awesome. My favourite movie of 2008 so far (June 24). |

The Dark Knight 2008, PG-13)
If the excellent Batman Begins was the appetiser this is the main course. A truly memorable experience that transcends the its filmic boundaries. Heath Ledger is gaining worthy kudos for his final complete role but Christian Bale is just as good as Batman. Then there's the awesome support cast with Maggie Gyllenhaal confirming Katie Holmes performance in the first chapter was second rate. The greatest star however doesn't appear on screen, director Christopher Nolan, undoubtedly one of the finest lensmen in history. There is no other word for this film than magnificent, the acting, story and action make this arguably the best total movie experience since The Return of the King. |

Planet Terror (Grindhouse Presents: Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror) 2007, R)
Absolutely awesome. Deliriously gory, extremely funny, Robert Rodriguez nails the whole Grindhouse aspect. Can't recommend this one highly enough. |
|

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002, PG-13)
The middle, and sorely underrated episode. |
|
| 13 |
Kill Bill, Volume 2 2004, R)
Q masterfully returns to his forte, sharp dialogue, but not as audacious as Volume 1. |
|

Sin City 2005, R)
An adult movie experience not to be missed, Robert Rodriguez's finest hour so far. |
|

Better Off Dead 1985, PG)
I just love this movie to death. I am not guilty about its pleasures either. |

|
| 20 |
Dawn of the Dead 1978, R)
A horror classic by a visionary film maker George Romero. |
