Toy Story 2 is my favorite animated film.

He is brilliant in Southland Tales.

Smart people would have been good had Dennis Quaid and Sarah Jessica Parker's storyline been scrapped. Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church are both great in it. An American Crime is a lot less brutal than I was expecting it to be, don't get me wrong, there are some relatively gut wrenching parts, but it's not the constant torture I was expecting from it. Ellen Page is of course fantastic in it. And, the Tracey Fragments was the worst of the bunch in my opinion, the only real thing the movie has going for it is Page's acting. I feel like it would have been much better had the story been told in a straightforward way rather than the multiple screens at a time way. Of course, with all this said, Hard Candy is still her best movie in my opinion. I'm looking forward to Whip It! and others from her though.

There Will Be Blood...oh wait.

First off, Nicholson's Joker was much more molded to the confines created within the Batman comic books of the time. The Joker was a character that did majic tricks and was incredibly over the top and was more creepy than actually crazy on the level which Nolan made the new Joker. In fact I think that the only book that truly had a Joker character that was even similar to The Dark Knight was Brian Azzarello's new book Joker.

Second, I think it's funny that nobody has mentioned the recasting of Rachel Dawes from Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal. Granted, I liked Gyllenhaal's performance more, Nolan nonetheless recasted the character only to have her killed in the same movie. Some would say that she was needed in the movie to show Two-Face's origin, but Nolan not only changed the origin story so that she would be needed, but he also killed off Two-Face (one of Batman's most prominent villains) in the same movie in which he was introduced. So is Nolan willing to recast characters? Absolutely. Is he willing to recast the Joker? Luckily, with his hesitance towards even doing a third film it is looking as if Ledger's Joker will remain unscathed until the next Batman reboot comes along.

Lastly, if you look at the Wachowski brothers back catalog, it seems as if they are capable of fitting any actor into the character they want them to be. Keanu Reeves was fantastic in The Matrix movies whereas most people view him as one of the worst actors still getting work, Emile Hirsch was absolutely brilliant in Speed Racer in a year where he received an Oscar nod for Into the Wild (two completely different characters), and Natalie Portman was astounding in V for Vendetta and she managed to break free of the Star Wars stigma that was attached her. So really the question is, if the Wachowskis are the ones to reboot Superman, does it really matter whether Superman is recast?
