$62 and Worth Every Penny

So, I finally did what millions of other people already have.

No, I didn't sleep with Paris Hilton, I finally saw Dark Knight.

All I can say is WOW... Best Superhero Movie Ever. Seriously that is worth repeating.
It's the best superhero movie ever made. Even if you aren't a first run theatre type person, this is worth the trip.

Movie tickets -- $20
Baby sitter -- $20
MMM snacks -- $22

Heath Ledger's performance -- Priceless!

It's really not necessary to hype it up any more than it already has been and you certainly don't need to just take my word for it. There are plenty of online reviews floating around.

So, on that note I bring you the

Summer 08 movie season

First a quick review: My predictions for the year were

1. Iron Man
2. WALL - E
3. Indiana Jones
4. Dark Knight
5. Hancock

Actual Results As of August 1, 2008

The Dark Knight	$393,751,065

Kung Fu Panda	$210,480,901
Wall-E	$204,078,076

I don't think even Warner Bros expected this much from their latest masterpiece so hopefully this fuels the Marvel fire even more to make the next few movies just as good as Iron Man.

I have seen eight of the current top 10 movies so in case anyone is interested I will post my reviews in a few days.

Even with the incredible success of Dark Knight my two big surprises of the summer are.

1. Kung-Fu Panda, didn't see that coming, but shows just how many kids still go to the movies.
2. Prince Caspian, negative $59,000,000 to date, just might be the end of that franchise.

Overall a good summer in my opinion. Now let the Oscar races start.
