My Thoughts On Batman: The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight has been out for a couple of weeks now and has already grossed over $300,000,000. It’s pulled in more money in 10 days than any other film. It stand a good chance at becoming one of the top grossing domestic blockbusters of all time. There’s no denying that it’s doing good. In fact, yesterday when the wife and I saw it at the IMAX, the showing we were at was sold out. There were several people there that were seeing the film for the 2nd or 3rd or 4th time.

I’ll let you know what I thought about the film when I get back.

But I’ve already seen it, so there is no point in adding it to a list of movies that I want to see this year, now is there?

So, here are the movies I’m waiting for… Continue reading
