Tonight Chris and I saw the movie Batman: The Dark Knight. It was really cool seeing Chicago shot for this film and the director did very little to hide the fact that Gotham was shot in Chicago. I even saw the Chase building sign!
And I'm really glad Maggie G. was cast to play a role originally meant for Katie Holmes. I couldn't really imagine Katie in this role. I thought Maggie did an incredible job. Just amazing.
Aaron Eckart also did an awesome job. He's been one of my favorite actors ever since I saw the indie film In the Company of Men, back in 1997. He's extremely talented, in my opinion.
Christian Bale was good. His raspy voice got a bit annoying. Really, he was outshined by his supporting cast though.
Heath Ledger took the role of Joker to a level that I was very impressed by. He morphed his character from comical/comic book to psychotic. This was the best Joker I've seen played in a Batman movie. Before I thought people were talking Oscar buzz because he passed away and wouldn't that just be the best Hollywood ending? But now I understand how well he acted and how deserving he would be of an award and recognition.
Incredible film. Just incredible. Two thumbs, Way UP!

I had a dream about Christian Bale last night. I was so sad to have to wake up. :)
