The Dark Knight: First off I think this movie is extremely over hyped. But after saying that, it is and will probably be the best movie of the summer. It is not a perfect movie like many have said elsewhere all over the web. My first and pretty much only complaint is its length. It is 2 1/2 hours and feels it by the end. If they would have cut 15-20 minutes off of it it would have felt perfect to me. But I don’t know what they could have cut to make it that length. One thing I did notice were a lot of continuity mistakes during the film and I usually don’t pick up on those during a first viewing. Not a big deal but I was surprised to have noticed quite a few. Now on to the all the goodness. The acting in this is excellent all around, not just from the Joker. I am so glad that Maggie Gyllenhaal has replaced Katie Holmes. She just ads her acting goodness to the role. The action sequences are spectacular all around as well. The best thing about this movie is the writing and especially the writing for the Joker. The Joker in this film is really a mastermind of a character. They made him extremely ruthless but also extremely clever. The crimes he puts together always keep you guessing to what will happen. I just really love good plot writing and this movie has that even though you could complain about the end not wrapping very well. I almost forgot but the music in this movie is top notch. They use the motif  of a slow glissando (my own audio example below) a few times during the Joker’s scenes to create tension, and it sure does. Such a great device and overall great score. You probably won’t even notice it during the movie and that is a good thing. That means it’s doing its job extremely well. Overall this is a really good film. Go see it in the theater or even at an IMAX theater if you have one near by. Some of the film was shot with an IMAX camera. Trailer

Bella: What a great movie. This is a great drama mainly about 2 people and how one moment in their lives will or have changed them forever. Very emotional movie. Has great characters and acting. Definitely worth seeing. Trailer I don’t like the first song of the trailer. It doesn’t represent the vibe of the movie at all.

Sunshine: I had heard about this movie a while ago and stuck it on my list and it just came in. This movie could have put itself on the list of best sci-fi movies of all time but really went in a direction that has been done before and really cheapens this film down. The first 40-60 minutes of this film are perfect. Was sucked right in and was loving what this movie was about. But the plot took a turn that I really didn’t care for.

They had to go and turn it into a semi monster movie kind of like “Event Horizon”. I don’t know why they decided to have a half burnt superpower crazy man enter the plot but they did. They really could have had the one crew member go kind of crazy, separate the ships, sabotage the ship and then kill himself. It would have worked and I would have bought it. I just didn’t want this movie to be that kind of movie. Just wanted something different.

I love the cast in this film. You probably will recognize every person in this film if you are an avid movie goer. They aren’t what people call “A-listers” but they are all great actors. As a group they work very well together. Overall this is a great film about trying to revitalize the sun to save the earth even though the plot went to a place explained in the spoiler section. But you may love where the plot goes. Acting is great and the film is beautiful. Something to put on your list if you like sci-fi. Trailer

Diggers: This movie is about a group of friends who all are clam harvesters or “diggers” living in a small town. I put it on my list because Paul Rudd was in it. This is a pretty good comedy/drama. Nothing spectacular about it, but it might be something you would want to check out. Trailer
