A tad too long. Entertaining until it went completely schizophrenic. As for Heath's joker, more like a strung out coke addict infactuated with Johny Depp then Oscar-worthy acting. http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3017645056/tt0112883
I have to agree.
The fanboys at IMDb managed to elevate it to the top of its Top 250 movies list. Undeserved.
Ledger was good, though my favorite incarnation of the Joker would still have to be Mark Hamill's in the animated series.
Vanilla Sky
I have always kept my distance from this film just because I'm not really a Tom Cruise fan. Although, it's the one film I have heard really great things about. I am very glad I watched it because it's exactly what I hoped it would be; full of surprises and a film that makes you think.
Mean Streets
Often considered Martin Scorsese's first great piece of work, it truly is nothing short of a work of art. Keitel and DeNiro give outstanding performances. I can see Scorsese's growth as a filmmaker since his first gangster picture.
Youth Without Youth
Coppola's film was taken out of theaters after the first weekend so I never had the chance to see it. Having read the book and critic's reviews, I knew exactly what I was in for. Unlike many others, I was not disappointed. The film is deep on many levels and requires you to look past the surface. Beautiful cinematography!
The Seventh Seal
My introduction to Ingmar Bergman; I knew what he was capable of even before this film. It's a film you have to see for yourself and he's the type of filmmaker, if you hate, you better have a good reason... and if you do, it's probably not good enough.
Taxi Driver
One of the best -- if not the best -- character study films I have ever seen. DeNiro once again gives a flawless performance. Scorsese is in this film himself is hilarious!
The Dark Knight (Second Viewing)
Saw this for a second time in IMAX with my family. I was able to follow the story much closely and see exactly why everything was shown in this specific order. It was just as amazing the second time around and nothing short of perfect. I'm already making plans to see it again.
The Usual Suspects
This film is a bunch of quotables. Every surprise, every action, everything is meant to hype you up for the end... for the biggest surprise of all.
