Why so serious?
So, I just saw The Dark Knight. And my thoughts? It kicked major arse. It is one of the few movies that actually lives up to its hype. And somehow Christopher Nolan managed to raise the already high bar from Batman Begins, and TDK is one of the few sequels in general that doesn’t suck. It’s [...]

Damn you, viral marketing!
It’s been nearly a week since The Dark Knight has been released and my sanity levels slowly drop every day when I have yet to see the movie. It wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the damned viral marketing to bring the massive hype concerning the film. And from what I hear from [...]

Greatest writer ever? Errr…
