"The Dark Knight"

The most anticipated movie of the summer has arrived -- and Heath Ledger's Joker is nothing to laugh at.

    Oh, I don't know...

    ...as I thought the last Batman movie was a bore.

    I'm tired of really talented directors making brilliant movies only to end up pigeonholed into making one dumb comic book movie after another.

    Nolan - The Prestige, Memento, Insomnia

    Sam Raimi - A Simple Plan

    The Wachowski Brothers - Bound

    And so on. It's hard to believe that "Speed Racer" came from the same people who made "Bound."

    Enough with the franchises already.
