Batman: The Dark Knight

Ben and I are both movie fanatics however I don't justify spending money on the full price of a ticket very often. I just figure I can be patient to see most movies when they come to DVD or even to the lovely $1 movies. Ben, on the other hand, wants to see a movie the second it comes out-preferably at midnight so that no one can spoil it for him. Anyway, he came to me at the beginning of the summer with a list of movies that were coming out this summer and wondering which ones I'd actually be interested in. It was a pretty short list for me this year. But this was definitely on there: So, somehow Ben scored FREE passes to go see this on Tuesday night up at the IMAX at Jordan Commons. It was sponsored by Warner Brothers and the security was tight-no phones allowed, metal detectors, etc. In fact, one security guard was totally watching Ben's friend, Kendall, the entire time because he was holding a water bottle & they thought it was a camera or something. It was kind of funny.
Anyway, so not only did we see it early, we saw it for free! Bonus! It was awesome! Seriously it was so good-Heath Ledger does live up to all they hype surrounding him. He definitely brought the Joker to life and I could see an Oscar going his way. Being pregnant, of course in the middle I needed to go the bathroom, but I was so into the movie, I really couldn't justify leaving and missing anything. Eventually I had to listen to my body since the baby was giving me some major kicks in the bladder. I practically ran so I wouldn't miss anything! Anyway, I highly recommend this movie-even if you're not into superhero flicks or anything. It was really good! Plus, the batcycle itself was the coolest thing I've ever seen.
