Filed under: Action, Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Noir, Warner Brothers, Theatrical Reviews, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels Right about here is where all the gushing and excitement and enthusiasm should begin, because I'll tell you right off the "bat" that Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is cause for celebration indeed. But then you'll figure out -- after only one sentence -- that I pretty much loved this movie, and then you'll head off to another, more unpredictable film critic. But it's the WHY that interests me so much. What I enjoyed about Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Hellboy 2 could probably be covered in one lengthy -- and inevitably nerd-tastic -- conversation between the two of us. But The Dark Knight... Well, clearly we're approaching a whole new level here. Several of the pre-release gushings are accurate. Some say "Scorsesian" and others reference Michael Mann. Many spend paragraphs on the (truly amazing) penultimate performance by Heath Ledger, while others will revel in the grown-up tone or epic scope of the film. What amazed me most about The Dark Knight, among several things, is that the flick's got more layers than an onion farm -- and yet it never loses touch with the idea of FUN. True that we're talking about a comic book fun that's decidedly more melancholy than the cinematic exploits of The Marvel Gang, but dang if TDK isn't supremely satisfying for about a dozen different reasons.Continue reading Review: The Dark Knight -- Scott's Take Permalink | Email this | Comments

The first six minutes of the movie The Dark Knight. This is the last completed film by the late Heath Ledger.

Peter Travers talks about Heath Ledger's legacy and performance as the Joker.

Filed under: Action, Casting, New Releases, RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand, Obits, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Stars in Rewind In the last twenty-four hours alone, countless news articles have compared the late Heath Ledger to James Dean. Of course it helps that the two actors -- whose careers lie fifty years apart -- bear physical resemblances to each other. The real reason for the frequency of the comparison, however, revolves around the possibility that Ledger, like Dean, might end up with a posthumous Oscar nomination. Other than Dean, whose death in a 1955 car accident was preceded by two nominations back-to-back, six actors have landed the distinction -- but only one, Peter Finch, actually won (for Network in 1976). However, Ledger is now perceived an actor who possessed a potential he never quite realized, while Dean was already an icon by the time of his death (and he still didn't win the prize). If Ledger gets nominated for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, the award will also acknowledge the great career that never was. Dean surely would have followed Giant with other wonderful performances, but his brief filmography also allowed the actor to reach a level of prestige that Ledger would have needed a few more movies to attain. So does this comparison really hold up? The media certainly seems to think so. "Like Dean, he could endure as a mythic figure of talent silenced before his time," writes the AP. "People are aflutter over seeing the final performance of a new James Dean," reports The Huffington Post. " One quality that Ledger and Dean did share is rapid growth," notes the Baltimore Sun.Continue reading Discuss: Heath Ledger and James Dean Permalink | Email this | Comments

"Dark Knight" cast shares its thoughts about Ledger at the NYC premiere.

Filed under: Action, Sci-Fi thousands of comic books, several movies, endless animated iterations, some of which are quite good and some of which are rather bad. Is there any real need to return to the character beyond the profit motive, though? After the financial and critical success of Batman Begins, the powers-that-be behind The Dark Knight could have made a safe bet of a sequel; a little more action, a few more actors, more of the same and a few extra explosions. What's telling about The Dark Knight, though, is how risky it is -- how it's bold and brave and truly exciting, full of rich and strong performances and some real ideas along the way. Why return to Batman? It turns out that for Christopher Nolan, the reason to come back is that there's something to say about, and with, the character even after decades of stories and multiple reinventions. I was hoping The Dark Knight would be good; I had no idea that director and co-writer Christopher Nolan was going to make a film that not only addressed the philosophical and political conflict between the rule of force and the rule of law but also takes on the timeless clash between order and chaos ... and, along the way, evokes everything from Michael Mann's Heat to John Ford's The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. ...Continue reading Review: The Dark Knight -- James's Take Permalink | Email this | Comments

"Dark Knight" star denies rumors that the role of Joker haunted Heath Ledger.

Filed under: RumorMonger, Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking Citing an unnamed source -- you know, one of those reliable anonymous types -- Showbiz Spy is reporting that Michelle Williams plans to make a movie about her late ex, Heath Ledger, in order to provide a record of him for the former couple's toddler, Matilda. No details have been released yet, which leaves a lot of questions up in the air. Is it going to be a straightforward documentary? A biopic? Some mixture of both? If this source is to be trusted, it seems unlikely that Williams simply wants to assemble family footage to screen privately for her daughter when she gets older. A Ledger film made for general audiences would probably reveal his unrealized career intentions and help solidify his posthumous James Dean-like reputation, but it's hard to say what approach Williams would want to take, since we don't even know what role she'll have in the production (producer? director? consultant?). Based on the skimpy information provided by Showbiz Spy, Williams' idea sounds somewhat similar to a recent documentary project that's been riding the festival to great acclaim in recent months: Kurt Kuenne's devastating Dear Zachary: A Letter to his Son About His Father, which begins with the documentarian planning to collect the memories of his murdered friend for the departed man's young child (the story takes a shocking turn after the first hour or so). Whatever the final product, surely Williams wants to avoid letting E! True Hollywood Story have the final say on Ledger's myth. Who can blame her? Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

"The Dark Knight" cast applauds Heath Ledger's performance in this movie sequel.

Kids, if you want to grow up to be a successful executive producer of movies like Michael Uslan ("YOU-slin") did, the key is education – and patience. Lots and lots of patience. Uslan secured the rights to make Batman movies years before Tim Burton, Michael Keaton, and Jack Nicholson dreamed of working together. And he couldn’t give away the rights to Will Eisner’s The Spirit. But his patience and determination paid off. This year, the sixth Batman movie – The Dark Knight – and first Spirit movie will come to a multiplex near you, joining previous Uslan productions such as Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Batman Begins, Catwoman, Constantine, National Treasure, Swamp Thing – well, you get the idea. And he’s not one to rest on his laurels, either. Uslan’s current projects in development include Shazam!, The Shadow, and Constantine 2. If you love comic books, and especially movies made from comic books, please welcome Michael Uslan to Mr. Media. You can LISTEN to this interview by clicking the BlogTalkRadio.com audio player below!

Seems like 1987 was just yesterday, and I was spending hours basking in the electronic glow of the old-ass tv in my bedroom, gripping my joystick, pulling it frantically to and fro until my hands cramped up. All jokes aside, you had to have skills to play many of those games. And to this day, no one can touch me on dig dug. Only on the 2600, though. I sucked at the arcade version. You had to pump the badguys up like, four times to get them to blow up. But anyway, I love atari. It's almost like some kind of minimalist form of art. And there was the competition aspect... You could brag about points to your friends, or try to beat their scores. The '80s was an awesome time to be a kid.

I've been working with this since I found out about his death, but I haven't really felt that I should post it until today, since today he would have been 29 years old. Didn't put any credits in this since I didn't think it fit... MUSIC: "The Heart Never Lies" by McFly (had to cut it, sorry) PHOTOS DO NOT BELONG TO ME!!

Born Laughing was written to chronicle the early crimes of Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger's incarnation of the Joker character. This is only the 2nd half of the script for Born Laughing. After Heath Ledger's terrible death we decided not to film the entire thing... at least not yet. In time (and if it's something people want to see) we will shoot the 1st half of the film. For more information on this film please visit www.bornlaughing.info. ***This film is no way associated with the WB franchise or DC comics.
