Never in my wildest nerd fantasies did I ever imagine that a superhero movie could be a legitimate contender for Academy Awards, but if any movie has a chance to break that barrier, it is Christopher Nolan’s absolutely masterful sequel to Batman Begins, the appropriately titled The Dark Knight. The first film was considered a breakthrough in many respects, finally focusing more on the evolution of Batman than the villain du jour, relaunching the franchise in a new direction after ruination at the hands of Joel Schumacher.

With the progression of the Batman chronicles, however, the Dark Knight Batsuit has progressed from simple and little detail to an amazing multi-faceted armor suit designed to ward off bullets, bombs and invisible ga... more
This is one of the coolest mash-ups I’ve ever seen. Woody is almost perfectly in sync with The Joker in every scene. Just fantastic. There are a handful of other Disney meets The Dark Knight videos up on YouTube, but none are as good as this one. Check those out in the related videos once you’ve finished this one.

In a rather stunningly good casting job as far as physical appearance goes, Christine Horne is being "introduced" in The Stone Angel, based on the best-selling novel by Margaret Laurence, to play the younger version of Ellen Burstyn. Look at the comparison above - it really does work. Just like casting Cole Hauser as a romantic lead Bram Shipley and his father Wings Hauser as the older version of that same character.
Burstyn and Horne are playing the fiery and independent Hagar Shipley in w... more

If there are really strong anti-Batman sentiments among the ladies, your other option at the movies this week is the adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Mamma Mia!, starring Meryl Streep as the hippie mother of a girl (Amanda Seyfried) approaching her wedding day who really wants to know who her father is. Trouble is, it could be one of three guys - Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth or Stellan Skarsgaard. Can the mystery be solved in time for the wedding and, if so, will singing lots of... more
