I liked Nolan's Batman Begins from the start and on the graphic comic side Ra As Ghoul has returned. DC released it hardback by the way. But I've always like Batman.

I saw a showing a couple of days ago and think it may be the best comic movie ever. I don't think people will be able to admit to themselves that Ledger was better than Jack as the joker, but the characters were totally different and this role is much more intense. Fantastic movie. Take a few notes for the next Superman. I absolutely agree. I saw a showing a couple of days ago and think it may be the best comic movie ever.

I still have a day of work to go through before I get to see it! I wish they would run the theatres for 72hrs in Canada but unfortunately they aren't. Most likely due to labour shortages. Try getting a bunch of teenagers to work night shift! Thanks for the great report and review. I can't wait to see it!! All the best. Wow, you are so luck to have seen the movie already!

Next weekend the X Files I want to Believe to open. X-Files and the Dark Knight are must see for the summer. I've seen the trailers to the dark knight already. And Heath Ledger's Joker could rival Jack Nicholson in meance. U know places like Vicksburg don't have IMAX cinemas at all. Not even metro Jackson doesn't have an IMAX cinema. Now I'v been to one in Galveston,Texas and the 3d pic was fabulous. I can tell you online people have brought up questions how come Vicksburg doesn't have a cinema. U would figute the city with a population size of 25,000 with a bigger population in the county of 49,000 but I can tell you the county has lost population. WIth a lack of leadership in both the city and county there really hasn't been an effort to bring a cinema back into Vicksburg and Warren County. One my associates told me that Vicksburg has a 'thug culture' which has lead to real bad service Becouse the locals who work in the hospility business have gotten negative feedback on service alone. The silence about the cinema has made locals upset,thier leaders have let them down. Honestly there are more hotels coming up here than there is entertainment venues for the families and kids. U know I don't blame the high end cinema chains turning Vicksburg/Warren County. Becouse of stunt population growth their execs figured a weak return on thier ROI. I figured when Regel Entertainment Group sold the Pemberton 4 Cineam to Village Entertainment in reality they were getting rid of a cinema that wasn't producing. I don't blame themn for that all;honestly they did the right thing at the time. Now if the leaders here do get in a new cinema operator/investor in this market,they have a real challenge before them. Becouse now most of the adult and teen market has shifted to the metro Jackson market and thier better classier cinemas. But the cinema closures aren't limited to Vicksburg. I did a recent Google search and I discovered all across the country that mall cinemas are closing and that leaves film buffs in a lurch. I believe that's why the box office has decreased from a billion to a million. Look at the math. Now one business deception that I discovered that Regel Group and Village Entertainment did do was this: they would run movie trailers of movies like the Mothman Prophecies,World Trade Center etc and guess what the movies didn't open at the local cinema like they should have. A poster friend of mind on the Cinema Treasures site explained that this was real bad business. Also in the film marketing both cinema operators narrowed the market too African Americans and the teens. And marketing like this is enough to turn off any customer to go a better and larger cinema. It's been two years now since CBL Associates and Village Entertainment hurt this community. They hurt it deep. One with a lousy management descion and the other a bad tenant who ran his mouth but didn't do nothing to improve the cinema at all. The community here is still angery and but us film buffs we are still angry. As for me I'm looking forward to seeing both X FIles and the Dark Knight at the Clinton 14 or the Malco 17. U know the Madison Malco has digital cinema capibilites? Oh don’t worry I don’t plan to miss this one. Next weekend the X Files I want to Believe to open.
