Dark Knight

Last night, Laura and I went to see The Dark Knight at the local Malco.  1 word: AWESOME.

Heath Ledger's performance is everything they say.  His character, the Joker, has fantastic dialog and monologues, which you have to attribute to the writing staff.  But the mannerisms, the voice, the laugh,  that's all Heath Ledger, and he does amazingly well.  From the initial "Pencil Trick " all the way to the final showdown, he's an psychopathic anarchist with no regard for anything but chaos, and it's completely believable.

The one actor I have not heard much about is Aaron Eckhart who plays Harvey Dent, Gotham's new District Attorney.  He has an equally impressive showing as he slowly turns from Gotham's White Knight into Two-Face. 

The entire movie is fantastic, and a great sequel to Batman Begins.  Plus, it's got trailers for Watchmen and the new Terminator Salvation movie starring Batman himself as John Connor.
