The new Bond IMO is crap.

The Dark Night.. thats the way to go.
agree about bond!

Saw "Into the Wild" the umpteenth time last night. Its simply mindblowing everytime i see it. Emile's portrayal of Alexander is one of the best cinema has to offer. See the movie with Eddie Vedder's mind-numbing soundtrack playing in the scenes. Have always admired Sean Penn's portrayal of characters in his movies, but this time his direction outshone his acting credentials. See this movie alone, dont ask me why, once you'll see it then you'll realize.

The hindi movie UGLY AUR PAGLI is going to be released soon, i somehow feel its inspired by the korean movie MY SASSY GIRL. Lets wait and see.

He accomplishes his dream in the end. His journey from a small NZ town, Invercargill to Bonneville is brilliantly shot. Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munro is one of the most impeccable performances in cinema I have seen in a long time.

Superb movie. 5/5 rating

Amazing movie. They are playing it quiet often these days. I saw it 2 times in the last 10 days. I give it 10/10

Did you watch it with your eyes open,buddy?

The Aston in all its carbon fibre glory is definitely present for a couple seconds in the trailer.

Guns, gags, gadgets and Girls. Bond is Bond is Bond!

Ive seen Hancock, Iron man, Hulk but nothing compares to BATMAN,THE DARK KNIGHT

Went for the primier show at Fame. Just got back from the movie. THIS MOVIE ROCKS!!!! Its keeps you entertained throughout the movie. Its doesnt seem to lull at any give point of time. Sountrack is also great. The movie is also more realistic. Batman seems pretty mortal this time round.

Heath Ledger as The Joker has done an AWESOME AWESOME JOB. Great acting by him. HES EVEN BETTER THAN BATMAN.

Loved the BATMOBILE and the BATBIKE. Hes also got a Lambo and an Mv agusta in the movie. Well He smashes the LAMBO on purpose. Loved that scene. Also Blows up his BAtmobile.

If you ask me. THE JOKER's done a better job than Batman. Most say this role could even go for an oscar.

My mistake I should have clarified this in my post. What I meant was for the first 3/4 portion of the ad, the car's missing and the movie doesn't look like a bond flick (for those who don't know that Daniel Craig is the new bond).

Hope I am clear this time. I am also eager to watch it in November 08

. The name's Racala, Yenna Rascalla!

a must watch a father who used to work with the spy network his daughter is kidnapped a must watch a lot of action as well as interesting story line.

Guys - Any point in watching the Dark Knight if I have not seen any Batman movie before? Not even the cartoon.

Technocrat · 18th July 2008, 12:39

Is Dark knight better than Batman Begins? I hated the last one. What with weird machines & a batman who looks more evil than the villains & even destroys more property than the villain

Yes. Its a typical Superhero movie. Its got no real connection with the last movie. Its a must watch.

I feel they should have given a better Actress for the movie. Better as in better looks.

Rocky_Balboa · 18th July 2008, 12:47

No one did joker better than 'Heath Ledger' i guess.
If at all an Oscar is awarded to him, what would be the number of posthumous Oscars awarded!?

[quote=hydrashok;905990]Haven't caught this one yet. I keep hearing good stuff about it, but I haven't lifted my @$$ up and taken the effort to get it yet. Added to list (for real, this time)

You bet dude, one to keep in your CD/DVD collection. Brilliant movie.
