The Dark Knight: Review

Even without Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker, Christopher Nolan's pitch-black sequel to BATMAN BEGINS (2005) would be a tour de force. But Ledger's mesmerizingly damaged agent provocateur is the film's dark heart, a presence so malevolently unpredictable that it remains palpable even when he's not on screen.

The Dark Knight ruled theaters, but the summer box office was not dark at all.According to The Hollywood Reporter, summer 2008 can go down in history with a record domestic gross, thanks to the $300 million-plus hauls of Knight, Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.Though last summer had four films cross the $300 milestone, Knight made up for the deficit with its own record-setting performance, which includes four consecutive weeks at No. 1.By the close of Labor Day weekend, domestic intake is projected to surpass $4 billion. read more

Ask FlickChick: Is The Dark Knight Cursed, and More Movie Questions | Ask FlickChick | 8/21/2008
Ask FlickChick: Is The Dark Knight a cursed production? Plus, the celebrity name game, name that movie and more movie questions answeredSend your movie questions to FlickChick.Question: Do you believe that some movies are cursed? I know it sounds ridiculous, but there's been some talk about a curse of The Dark Knight and it seems as though a lot of bad things have happened to people who were involved, starting with Heath Ledger. -- KaraFlickChick: In a word, no. In a few more words, I think the twin curses of recklessness and cutting corners to save money have caused more grief than any malevolent supernatural forces. In the case of The Dark Knight, a visual effects technician named Conway Wickliffe died during a test run of a car stunt on September 25, 2007, before principal shooting started.
