So here we are, the movies opening July 18th, 2008:

The second Christopher Nolan Batman movie stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Morgan Freeman. The film has been long awaited for and will hopefully live up to the hype.

Mamma Mia!
A musical starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan looks to capitalize on the amount of female movie goers at theaters this weekend. This film is such a chick flick, it has been noted that in 99 out of every 100 trailer showings at least one man has been heard yelling, “GAY!”

Space Chimps
An animation about chimps who are trained to make missions to outer space. This film looks to capitalize on the large amount of success of late by animated movies. Will I see it? Probably not until it’s on DVD.

Well, the problem is that much of the talk was coming before the movie wasn’t even released yet. It was as if they wanted to give it to him because he is dead, not because of his actual performance. I haven’t yet seen the movie, so I can’t say that it is justified or not… but I guess we shall see.

From what I have seen of his performance, the man deserves the oscar – easy. How tragic that he died after the performance of the life time. I want to see the Dark Knight in an IMAX.
