Must-See Movie: The Dark Knight

Friday, July 18th, 2008

One of the best movies ever produced. EVER. The film is up there with “The Empire Strikes Back” and “The Godfather Part II” as best sequels ever made. Even if you’ve heard all the hype, nothing can prepare you for the wonderful experience of this edge-of-your-seat crime drama (yes, you totally forget it’s a movie based on a comic book). Flawless. Perfect in every way. The cast is amazing and Heath Ledger deserves an Oscar for his performance as The Joker. Go see it in IMAX. Absolutely breathtaking.

Must-See Movie: ONCE

I just saw one of the best movies of 2007… a little movie called Once.

I love movies. I love music. And when the two come together in the great way… it’s magical. This movie is an absolute gem. If you saw the Oscars, they won the Best Original Song award (for the song “Falling Slowly“) and their acceptance speeches were one of the highlights of the show. The movie was shot in Ireland on 2 video cameras, a shoestring budget, and done in only 17 days! If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly recommend seeing it. It’s funny, romantic, and tells a beautiful story about two people making music. I guarantee you’ll watch it more than once.
