The Dark Knight. Yes, I know, two movies in two nights - it's a slow week! But unlike yesterday's unhappy discovery, this was something of a revelation. I'm not a comic-book fan, nor any kind of fantasy hero enthusiast. But (and I'm sure I'm last to this party) what a bloody great film! The characters are believably real, even if their roles aren't, and they're played by experts. I was transfixed and delighted. Ok, I'm many years too late - literally in Heath Ledger's case - but I will be happy to watch this film again. I'm not sure I'll extend the truce to the rest of the franchise - I'm not yet a convert to the DC or Marvel worlds - but it's a great reminder that good movies can transcend their origins.
