Forget Batman for awhile and check out Christian Bale as John Connor trying to shoot the brains exoskeleton head of Terminator - or, whatever the heck that is. A teaser trailer had earlier been released and it’s looking good. The movie is set to hit theaters on May 22, 2009.
I was searching for resources to write my review on James Franco’s new movie Pineapple Express and somehow chanced upon this series entitled “Acting with James Franco.” I take it as one of those Judd Apatow improv scenes where the actors just try to one-up each other in whatever situation they’re given. But who knows… maybe James Franco did carve a whole in a bar soap.

It’s a worthy viral try. I wish more people watched it, but it’s not on YouTube. And just how many hot Franco’s are there? I gotta get myself some of those genes.

I wish more artists would act like Heath Ledger - that’s what occurred to me after watching the Dark Knight movie. For someone who plays a villain disgusted for the past 40-50 years, Ledger gave us a great performance and a different perception of Joker’s persona.
There was a sense of nobility to Heath’s portrayal - the false kind, of course. Joker as an anarch sold on the idea that the world is made up of rules governed by a higher evil, that the world swallows the weak and that every “Mr Goody Two-Shoes” would lean to self-serving decisions when the tides have turned on them.
No, the Joker does not have moral fiber - he is wicked, ruthless, and downright psychotic, and I would not glorify him even if he has such a morbidly awesome sense of humor, but he makes quite a case. Where Batman stands up for good, Joker maintains that there is no such thing as good. Hence he is evil. Now that, my friends, is a sense of purpose. ROFL!
Harvey Dent serves as the euphemism for both Batman’s and Joker’s philosophies. Where Batman believes that Gotham has found a “white knight” in Dent to rid the city of criminals, Joker makes of him a trophy in this tug of war and paves the way for him becoming Two Face.
I take this movie away from Batman because, while he rocked the Lamborghini and turned his motorcycle 180 like “Whoah!,” that stupid, husky voice and delayed fighting made me cringe a little. I also think he was a little short (What’s Christian Bale’s height anyway). And to Mr. Gordon - you sly man you - you had me fooled on whether you’re dead, or alive, or if you’re gonna die again. I didn’t know it was gonna be Rachel. Morgan Freeman is subtle as Lucius Fox - he’s always subtle. He makes a point along with Alfred (and the people in the boat) that good and evil is a choice for all of us, even for billionaire Bruce Wayne who plays nonchalant about the city he deeply cares for. That’s why he’s the Dark Knight.
Ok. That covers everything.
As for Ledger, I wasn’t sold on him being Oscar-worthy and I somehow felt that the clamor for him to be nominated was a sympathy prize. He was an admittedly talented actor but I thought it mediocre to give him an award he did not deserve. After seeing this portrayal, I say give him the bald dude and a tribute.
The teaser trailer for the 4th installment of Terminator made its way to the web this morning, and other than the fact that it sounds like Batman’s narrating (because.. idk.. it’s Christian Bale?), it does look tight. The movie is set to show May 22, 2009 and is directed by Joseph “McG” McGinty Nichol.
As if you hadn’t had enough reasons to watch the Dark Knight movie this Friday, the previews said to show before the movie might be just as compelling.
It was earlier reported that Watchmen, a film adaptation of the comic book by Alan Moore and Dave Gibson, would be showing its first trailer in the Batman movie. Additional reports said that Christian Bale’s Terminator Salvation and Leonardo di Caprio’s Body of Lies will also be making its trailer debuts.
Rumor has it The Dark Knight lead star Christian Bale is out not only to play Batman but also Robin.. Hood, the skimpy wearing, bow-and-arrow wielding, super hero who loves taking money from the rich to give to the poor.
Source: “Two-Face was once Harvey Dent, District Attorney of Gotham City and close ally of Batman. After a criminal disfigured half of his face with acid, Dent became the insane crime boss Two-Face who would choose to do either good or evil depending upon the results of flipping a coin..”
Batman’s new trailer seems to give us a glimpse of his transition from good to ..either/or. =P
A Dark Knight trailer has been dropped by YouTube this morning. The movie stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckhart, and is directed by Christopher Nolan. It opens in theaters and IMAX July 18.
