Very good Liam Neeson film.

Good graphic novel movie adaptation. It could have been great, except that they chose to add a secondary story before the actual main storyline begins, involving Barbara Gordon as Batgirl, who ends up having an intimate encounter with Batman. This all ends up seeming clunky and disconnected to the primary story of the Joker shooting Barbara and kidnapping Commissioner Gordon with the intent of driving him insane in order to prove that it takes only one bad day for someone to lose his or her mind. I think they just wanted to make this a feature length movie, so the extra stuff was added, but once the main storyline gets started, it follows the graphic novel about 95%. Mark Hamill was incomparable as the voice of the Joker. Still, I liked the graphic novel better, as the movie just wasn't able to capture the raw emotion.


I read that they wanted to add more to help make her rape a little more sensible within the story, rather than have it happen for shock value. Great artwork in the comic, but I think it's one of Alan Moore's low points.


Barbara was raped? I'll look at the graphic novel again, but as I recall it, after the Joker shot her, he had undressed her then posed her for the photos he showed to her father via big screen.

Kubo and the Two Strings

I saw this one week ago and it was a great movie with beautiful stop-motion animation. I cried at the end.

High Anxiety

I watched this last night with my family and we were laughing almost non-stop!

Sorry, you're right. It's been a while--I meant the photos.

Jon Favreau's Jungle Book. The cheeky monkey imitating Mowgli scene produced loud chortles of laughter from me for some reason.

It was ok :) I think it was worth seeing. It was a little weird. It was definitely scary, I had to lower the sound and turn away sometimes.

Hello, guys! I have recently watched some movies online namely: The Dark Knight, Batman (1989) and 1+1. I liked all of them, really great movies. It is cool that I had not watched them before.

The Game

I think this is an underrated David Fincher film

Step Brothers

It made me realise that I cannot allow myself to be a 'man child' my entire life.
