Film spot of the day
Joffrey from The Game of Thrones is also in Batman Begins. Spotted it last night, he spots Batman on a balcony. He's quite young but it is him.

SC Movie Review 20
Batman: The Dark Knight.
I’ve been waiting to see this film for ages, and it didn’t disappoint. It’s the biggest film that out this summer, and it could have been bad, usually movie houses tend to destroy franchises by trying to make them appeal to a wider audience do bring in extra cash this results in mass dumbing down.
The first ‘new’ Batman was very good, nice and dark with plenty of action and a good story line. The new Batman continued where it left off with a great bank robbery scene, only Heat has bettered that.
I’m not going to go on about all the various parts of the film , if you like Batman and that sort of thing then go and see it you won’t be disappointed. I have a couple of gripes / questions though.
Can anyone tell me why the Sandman was there at the start?
I felt the whole mobile phone sonar set up was silly and added 20 minutes of unnecessary film length. The bullet reassembling to get the finger print was verging on the ridiculous. It reminded me of why I stopped watching James Bond. An invisible car, I mean come on…! People’s imaginations can only be stretched so far. At least make it vaguely possible.
April was disappointed that she didn’t feel more remorse about the girl dying but hey the girls are usually there for eye candy. I’m sure there’ll be a new one in the next film.
Another thing that annoyed me was not the film, it was a review on BBC.com, it said to ignore the hype about Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker, the real candidate for the Oscar should be Christian Bale. Did they watch the same film? Bale was fine, he’s a good actor but there’s no sense that he actually had to try in order to play Batman.. The Joker was excellent. Not having seen many other potential Oscar winning performances yet this year (Waiting for Ben Stiller in Tropical Thunder) I think it’s a bit too soon to tell.
Other than that great film.

As an interesting side note, I now know what sort of person buys nachos when they go to the cinema. Aging electronic rockers… Gary Numan was in the queue in front of us when we were waiting to get ripped off for ice cream and a drink. He eventually sat a couple of rows behind us.
