#2 on the list...
...Batman Begins (2005)
This movie is just awesome. Based heavily on the Batman: Year One graphic novel, it explores the origins of the Dark Knight in truly dark fashion. We see Bruce Wayne traumatized by the deaths of his parents and searching for his identity through various trips abroad in an attempt to understand the criminal mind. His metamorphosis in Batman and his subsequent protection of Gotham City are something to behold. Christian Bale is great as Bruce Wayne/Batman and they finally found the right guy to play Alfred in Michael Caine. Best performance, however, goes to Liam Neeson as Henri Ducard/ Ra's Al-Ghul. Look for great small parts from Cilian Murphy as Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow and Gary Oldman as James Gordon.
Memorable Quote:
Bruce Wayne: They told me there was nothing out there, nothing to fear. But the night my parents were murdered I caught a glimpse of something. I've looked for it ever since. I went around the world, searched in all the shadows. And there is something out there in the darkness, something terrifying, something that will not stop until it gets revenge... Me.
Today's Musical Selection:
Warren Zevon--Werewolves of London
