I have to see Le Salaire de la Peur. Does it follow Les Diaboliques in any way? I just recently saw La Dolce Vita...what a great movie! Recommended to anyone who loves great foreign cinema.

I saw hellboy last week. It was okay nothing too exciting I guess. An average movie worth seeing. I saw batman as well. Wow, Joker is worth seeing. He overshadows everything in the movie. The leading lady gives off something to desire. Joker is really good and Batman he is okay. Michael Cain and Morgan Freeman are legends. Harvey Dent is great too. overall good movie.

I saw Dark Knight as well (twice). And it was AWESOME! Believe the hype when it comes to Ledger's performance. This may be the best fantasy/action film ever. I won't go into any more details, to prevent myself from spoiling anything for anyone, but do go see this movie. You won't be disappointed.

Oh god...that was an amazing performance by Heath....

Too bad we'll never see the like...ever...again...;-; Sigh...

Heh...still...Batman didn't seem so..umm...dominating this time. Heh, but it was a good film. And I like how they try to ground all the batman equipment in old experiments and all...=P

Still, the Joker's got a pretty nasty set of jokes in this one...and as for Harvey Dent, that was a good plotline too...

/me hopes for a third Batman...=S

Allow me to brighten up your day a little.

There is 1 more movie in the works that will feature Heath in it. "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is the title I believe. Heath played the main guy, of course, and said guy had multiple personalities, or flash backs, or something. They had filmed all of the main-guy scenes and a few of the 'branch personalities' or whatever, but he died before finishing it of course. So, they decided to keep him as the main role, and cast other actors as the split-persons of said main guy.. or something to that effect..

The actors taking over for the other persons are supposed to be Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Collin Farrel.

Hope that made someone a little happier I suppose? Yay for knowing things.

Wow! ooh! I'd love to see that one.

Though, I do hope the plot is a lot more detailed than how you described it...heh...=P It sounds a bit flat, put that way...=S

There really isn't much that's been told about it or anything. So don't hold that against me, details are fuzzy and what not.

Just be happy I told you

In the present day, immortal 1,000-year-old Doctor Parnassus leads a traveling theater troupe that offers audience members a chance to go beyond reality through a magical mirror in his possession. Parnassus had been able to guide the imagination of others through a deal with the Devil, who now comes to collect on the arrangement, targeting the doctor's daughter. The troupe, which is joined by a mysterious outsider named Tony (portrayed by Ledger, Depp, Law, and Farrell) embark through parallel worlds to rescue the girl.

See, there you go, ZhangCo did the real work for us, so I didn't have to.

Huzzah for ZhangCo, Huzzah Laziness, Huzzah Popcorn with Extra Butter.

Different note - Hell Boy II is entertaining. I wouldn't pay the theater price to see it again, but it was good.
