I've had quite a filmy weekend.
The Life of David Gale.
Brilliant film with Kevin Spacey playing an anti-death penalty campaigner who finds himself on death row for murder. The film is mainly set in an interview room as he re tells how he ended up where he is to a magazine reporter. With days before his date with the injection, the reporter begins to learn that he is innocent and races against the clock to save him.
Spacey is excellent in this film, Kate Winslet is rather good aswell, playing the reporter who becomes increasingly obsessed with proving his innocence. Well well worth a watch.
Dark Knight
Finally got round to watching this last night. It's good. Ledger was very good indeed, Bale as Bruce Wayne was great, Bale as Batman was a bit pish
The deeper voice thing was annoying and, for me, the whole film didn't seem to know where it wanted to go. It was certainly darker than previous Batman films(obviously, being based on the darker story lines from normal batman comics), but it did keep a certain hint of comic book charm to it that prevented the film being a really dark thriller.
Overall I thought the film was very good. Morgan Freeman was ace. I didn't even recognise Gary Oldman with that tache, for me Aaron Eckhart as Harvy Dent/Two Face was the best performance in the film.
