The Dark Night is based on a newer version of Batman, who is given a great challenge trying to protect the district attorney of Gotham, Harvey Dent, from the impressive new villain, The Joker. The story deals with intense emotions of all the characters and how they are put through great tests to find if what they are doing is really right for Gotham City.
The sequel of the newer Batman Begins I found to be one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen. I enjoyed the older Batman movie series, but one thing I did not like was the actors who played batman constantly being changed. I love how Bruce Wayne is still Christian Bale. I find him to be a terrific actor in these movies and don't think he would ever disappoint me if a few more in this series came out. However, I was disappointed in finding out that Maggie Gyllenhaal was Rachel Dawes in The Dark Night, rather than Katie Holmes like in the first Batman Begins.
I also loved how in character Heath Ledger had become by playing The Joker. I find it a little scary how he had died right after they had finished hsi part in the movie. I always wondered if it because he had become so dark and morbid like the actual Joker that it made him sick with himself and if it drove him to his demise. But anyway, the Joker's chracter was amazing and hilarious to me. His humor was so dark it desered a little laugh. I am too anxious for the third.

10. The Bourne Identity (7 out of 10)
The Bourne Identity is a film about a special operative agent Jason Bourne, and how the CIA is tracking him down to arrest, or kill him. The trouble is, he has no idea why. How he suffers from amnesia is what makes this movie such a mind trip.
The films story line was not of much interest to me, I do not really care about anything really relating to the government or any war like movies. However, the movie did not cease to grab my attention due to its suspense. Throughout the movie, certain things are being revealed, but not in any sort of cheesy way. And I really liked how at the end of the movie, he remembered the heart felt reason as to why he did not go through with the assassination job he was assigned.
And of course, the movie did not miss out on the romance part which I thought it could do without. The romance between Jason Bourne and Marie, the girl who helped him on his journey, was probably put in the movie so women would be able to stand watching it with their meat-head significant others. They’d have to do somethings like that to balance out all the action that went on throughout the movie. I really liked that part, though. Its High speed chases and hand to hand combat got my attention the most. That’s the good stuff that turned out really well in this movie.

9. The Italian Job (9 out of 10)
The Italian job is about a group of thieves who plan to steal the money they feel they are entitled too from a former member. The group gains a new member, even though it goes against their rule of being in it for emotional reasons.
The remake of the Italian Job was very appealing to me. I have never seen the original movie, but I have a feeling that i would still appreciate the newer one. movies like the Italian Job, for example the Oceans Eleven, Twelve, and Thirteen movies, are my favorite types of movies. I love the action, the extremely thought out plots for the heists, and always a shock at the end of how the main characters get away with the whole thing, and it totally throws you off. Action and heist movies overall are very entertaining in my opinion.
One of the only things that I did not like about this movie was that an actor that I really like, Edward Norton, had to play the ‘bad guy’ role. However, he did do a very good job of playing that part. I also really enjoyed on how it was filmed and the settings. Apparently the streets of Venice, Italy, and Los Angeles were closed so they could do this movie. I like that it was not all done on a set, which just bothers. Overall, I thought this movie was wonderful, but I would really love to see the original British Italian Job just to see the differences in the story.
