Today was my one day off for the week, and boy did I need it. I wasn’t going to go in if they called me for nothing. I’ve been working non-stop. Hell, I’m fucking tired and need some quality sleep, fun, and time away from work for once after all this working non-stop for damn near 10 days straight…maybe even more.

I finally saw the Dark Knight today for the first time since it came out. I went to the theatre in the mall across the street from the theatre that I work at. Since we didn’t get it, I had to go somewhere else to see it. It was amazing, marvelous, fantastic, awesome, spectacular, and all those other fabulous words that can describe how terrific it was.

I honestly believe that it’s the best movie thus far to come out of the year 2008.

All the actors and actresses were unbelieve. Heath Ledger really stole the show as the Joker. He was a great Joker, and he dove into his role so perfectly. One of the best scenes with the Joker was when he explained to one of the guys (that wanted him dead) what had happened to his face. He made it seem so real, so true, and so SERIOUS.

His performance was the greatest of all. I’m not saying this because Heath Ledger has passed away, but because it’s the actual truth.

Then there was Aaron Eckhart who played Harvey Dent, the district attorney. He put forth a marvelling performance. He played both the do-good side and the revengeful side of his character equally superb. It was superb that neither one of his performances of the character faltered one time. His performance was the second great performance in my opinion.

Of course there’s Batman. Christian Bale played Batman to a great degree. I did not like the voice, though. It just doesn’t seem to flow too well. It was too rough, too dark, and too forced.

Anyway, I got kinda pissed off at the end when all the sound went out. So, I got a refund.

I also saw Mirrors this past Friday after work. I had actually seen about five minutes of it the night before it came out at our employee screening. I was tired, though. I had been watching the employee screening of the Clone Wars and just got drowsy, so I caught about a five minute glimpse of Mirrors and left for home.

Anyway, it was a good movie. It wasn’t outstanding or anything, but it was a good horror movie. I think it could’ve been directed better, and it could’ve ended better. I didn’t like the ending for some reason. It just didn’t seem well-put together.
