The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is 150 minutes of intensity—a well-done action film that, unlike Batman Begins, focuses less on character and more on the ca-razee Joker (played by a nearly scenery-chewing Heath Ledger) and Batman’s quest to stop him.
The Prestige
Christopher Nolan, director of the excellent films Memento and Insomnia, may not have leapt forward here, but even his trifles are a damn sight better than most of what passes through Hollywood’s collective terlet these days.
