I loved The Dark Knight (and not just because they got rid of Katie Holmes ).

Re: Review: November/December Films

Is he still doing the repeating sequences like in Pi and Requiem?

Not really; he's stepped into a different type of filmmaking since Requiem, so no.

Ok. I also liked it but for some strange reason, it just didn't seem really, really great. I've been waiting to see this movie for a long time and when I did see it, I wasn't exactly in the mood. I wanna watch it again and this time not in the afternoon lol.

The Dark Knight wouldn't have had the impact on me if I wasn't anxiously sitting in a room with almost a thousand people on a huge IMAX screen. That experience alone was worth everything.

It's a great film and considering what it has accomplished, a fine work of art.

Re: Review: Oscar 2008 Films

I'm not saying it was a bad movie. It was really good. I just think that waiting for such a long time and watching it at the wrong time must have given me a different take on everything. I want to watch it properly again.

Re: Review: Oscar 2008 Films

Yeah, I agree with the 'watching it at a bad time' part. That's why I think twice about watching a movie; if I'm even remotely tired, it will ruin the experience.

It's going to be very exciting.

Re: Review: Oscar 2008 Films

Actually, I was more excited for tonight's Independent Spirt Awards because they acknowledged some of the films that were shut down elsewhere. I was very happy with the winners, and unlike the Oscars, they were unpredictable. I feel like I know exactly what's going to happen tomorrow. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

Well if you're right, then you have special powers.

Re: Review: Oscar 2008 Films

I'll post my predictions here, once again, just so we can review them tomorrow. Pepsi, quote me on this and let's see if I was right.

Best Picture - Slumdog Millionaire
Best Director - Danny Boyle
Best Actor - Mickey Rourke
Best Actress - Kate Winslet
Best Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger
Best Supporting Actress - Penélope Cruz
Best Original Screenplay - Wall-E
Best Adapted Screenplay - Slumdog Millionaire

I admit, I'm a bit unsure about Best Actress (it can really go either ways in such a defined category) and Best Original/Adapted Screenplay.

We'll see.
