Dark Knight

I saw the new Bat Man movie on Monday.  Me and the rest of the country.  Now I'm not going to sit here and right a review.  Don't worry about that, friends and neighbors.  But I would like to chat for a minute about how good Heath Ledger was in the movie.  I know, jump on the band wagon.

But, truly, he was really good in the movie.  And you got to know that's a tough role.  One of the ultimate villains.  But before, the Joker was always a comic book villain.  Kind of hokey.  Not very believable.  Like the rest of the movie.  But this one is different.

First off, the movie is incredible.  And its dark.  Not a feel-good kind of movie.  Doesn't leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling.  And then lump on top of that the Joker's performance.  Wow!

I'm pretty much at a loss for words as to how to describe him.  Suffice it to say, I was moved.  I was shaken.  And I remember driving home excited about the possibility of seeing the Joker again in a new Bat Man movie.  And then I remembered something.  Heath Ledger is dead.  And with him died that amazing Joker.

That performance will stand out.  It will be remembered.  It will be talked about.  Oscar aside, it will be compared to, referenced and brought up time and time again.  Wow...................
