There are only a few movies I’ve seen twice in theatre. Besides Kill Bill - Volume 1, it was more like a coincidence than on purpose: American Pie, School of Rock, Lord of The Rings - The Return of the King. Weired list, isn’t it?

Anyway since yesterday there’s a new movie in the list: The Dark Knight. And this is not the only thing it has in common with Kill Bill. I was highly expecting both movies. When I saw them, I felt like “Wow that’s so cool”. A movie-experience I wouldn’t want to miss.

The Dark Knight is, in fact, one of the best movies I’ve seen so far. Heath Ledger (as said thousand times before) played as never before (and never again). The Joker is a maniac. Have I said No Country For Old Men has the meanest bad guy? Let me rectify this: The Joker is a villain nobody wants to be in the same city with.

The new Batman movie has more than the usual blockbuster cinema. And more than the usual “good movies”. It combines both. The ultimate fight between good and evil. And everything in between. Everything else but 10 out of 10 from me would be just wrong.

I like Edward Norton. Primal Fear was suprisingly good - especially because of Norton (and I think it was the first schizophrenic movie I saw). American History X, Fight Club, Keeping The Faith, Red Dragon and 25th Hour - it seemed like Norton does everything right. He was defenitely one of my favourite actors.

Then he did Italian Job, followed by Kingdom of Heaven. I was disappointed. In The Illusionist (which was actually pretty good, but never got released in Europe - why?) he played with Jessica Biel (one of my least favourite actresses). Now the Hulk? When I heard this, I thought its over.

On my Scandinavia trip I saw The Incredible Hulk. In the worlds largest THX theatre. And - I liked it. Turns out Norton fits to the silent Bruce Banner. The quick rating I gave a month ago should be changed. I give it 7 out of 10. I think the new Hulk movie is good action cinema - the first one (with Eric Bana) was not.

Wow … again a month without a posting. Damn, I’m lazy. I also haven’t finished the Scandinavia diary yet - my memories are fading, I should do that soon.

Anyway next week I’ll see The Dark Knight - very much looking forward to it. Batman Begins is one of my favourite movies!

Plus I finally saw Grindhouse as a double feature with the fake trailer between the movies: Liked it a lot - I think both movies work alone and together - Rodriguez and Tarantino have done a great job (though I still like Planet Terror a lot more).
