Here's our quick review. As always, no Spoiler.
The caped crusader takes a deathly flight into unknown territory in this installment. The terrifyingly unpredictable element known as the Joker has brought Gotham down to its knees, making Batman go all out with new and improved artilleries of criminal destruction. More than just a superhero movie, 'The Dark Knight' as envisioned by Nolan is almost operatic in dimensions, with Bruce Wayne appearing humanly vulnerable yet craftily invincible. The late Heath Ledger gave a final, high-voltage performance which is something akin to if Lucifer was on LSD.

Here's our short review.
America's greatest weapon in movie history John Rambo ages but his thirst for blood is still unfulfilled. This time, the killings are more gory and horrible. Heads and limbs come off like LEGO people, as Rambo unleashes all the pent-up rage he has kept all these years. Written and directed by Stallone himself, this is quite an adrenaline rush of a movie. Recommended for action genre and Rambo fans.

Legendary singer Bob Dylan's multi-faceted persona is explored in this intriguing film. By having different actors play Dylan, we get to familiarize ourselves with this complicated talent through a host of characters. Was he a poet, an artist, a political activist or just a simple folk singer? Might he be the sum of all these? Much praise have been heaped upon Cate Blanchett for her portrayal but we feel the performances of Heath Ledger and Christian Bale were distinctively more fascinating.Rgds,

This is a twisted tale in the vein of 'B-Movies'. A girl is born into the world with a set of molars in her...southern region. Not realizing that her 'dental problem' is unique only to herself, she goes through life like an ignorant fool. But because she's a hot chick, guys fly to her like moths to a flame and soon, all hell breaks loose! If your idea of a great time is watching a film about a girl with a built-in mouse trap, this might just be your cup of special brew.

This is a delicate and gracefully filmed lamentation on the disaffected, indifferent youth of America. Totally immersed in his own world, the leading character is a kid who exudes a disturbing air of nonchalance and appears to be unfazed by life itself. Based on a Blake Nelson novel, it is also in essence a murder mystery. The cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Rain Kathy Li embraces the movie like warm solace and the soundtrack is bizarrely tempting.

Here's our review,
Adapted from a novel by Cormac MaCarthy, this Coen brothers' movie is about the evil that men do. Like an unstoppable plague, this evil is represented in all its sick f**king glory by Javier Bardem's character. There has never been a more frightening villain in cinema, even with that hideously funny hair. At times the suspense created by the Coens is so thick it is almost unbearable and this adds to the film's brilliance as well.
