Site updates
Over on the right side of the page is a few links for your convenience. Among these are the Intro and Directory which gives info about this blog and an easier way to navigate past blogs. Also if you have a Facebook account, add the Mike's Place For Words Facebook group. On that group, you can ask any sort of question that you would like me to answer on this blog.
I have a poll over on the last side as well. Recently in video game news I have read that my favorite band Led Zeppelin decided not to allow their music to be in a Guitar Hero or Rock Band game. So I'm asking my loyal readers what Led Zeppelin song you would like to play in a Guitar Hero game. I think I'm going to make these polls a monthly thing as long as enough people vote.

The Dark Knight review
I've had some car troubles lately and I've been working most of the weekend so I was originally going to see this on Monday, but luckily I was able to go Friday night. Of course, the theater was packed. All of my friends who saw this before me were raving about how great this movie was. They were right. This movie is one of the best movies to come out in a while and probably THE best superhero movie ever made.The acting was perfect. Kudos to Christian Bale, Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman and even Maggie Gyllenhaal. Then there's Heath Ledger with an absolutely phenomenal job portraying The Joker. It's hard to believe that it was Heath Ledger. Everybody is saying that he should get the Oscar for this role and I completely agree.
The story is also well done. I have no problems with it. It is just really good.
***Spoilers***
Joker's "magic trick" was just awesome. Two-Face is the first thing in a while that actually makes me cringe when I look at it. Here's a picture.
***End of spoilers***
The only small negative I have about this movie is how Katie Holmes was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal. I just don't like when actors get replaced. Besides that, I gave this an "A" on my Yahoo ratings and five stars on the Movies app on Facebook. Go see this movie or something is wrong with you.
Look out for the next one. I turn 21 on July 22!

Great Review of the Bats, yo. I also Loved the movie, the only negative I would say is that it was a bit long. If they cut out a like 10 minutes it would be a bit better. But just a minor quip.
I also loved Joker's pencil trick. Theater laughed for a few minutes that I missed most of the dialogue afterwards, haha.
The watchmen trailer was great! That smashing pumpkins song was perfect fit.
