The Dark Knight
A two and a half hour apologetic treatise in defense of George W. Bush's prosecution of the War on Terror. Great film. No... it was much much more than simply "great." It deserves every dollar it earns. And yes, Ledger's performance was, in my estimation, Oscar worthy.
If it's still in the theater the end of August, I'll see it again. And it's definitely on my list of DVD's to acquire.
The X-Files- "I Want to Believe"
If nothing else, it is a satisfying look into the future lives of Dana Scully and Fox Mulder. Tremendously satisfying. Aside from the voyeuristic delight of watching Scully and Mulder engaged in an intimate supportive relationship, there's the story itself... remember the episode where the guy grew his head back after submerging himself in a tub full of iodine? Mary Shelley and her hideous progeny would have been shocked by this film.
This movie will only be appreciated by X-Philes. If you're one of those who wants to believe, you may come away disappointed.
I would have seen this again had I the time and money. I will buy the DVD.

My though was that it very much seemed like an episode. With the exception of a few lake scenes the camera style and scene size seemed as if they would be more suited to television display rather than the theatre screen. The plot also seemed as if it could easily be broken up into a three-part series for television. I liked it, but it was not as epic as the first x-files movie.
Dans Scully is still One Hot Babe, too. :-)
