Here;s the trailer for The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, the final movie Heath Ledger filmed before his death, which co-stars Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell intermittently in Ledger;s role (for which Cate Blanchett will receive an Oscar nomination). The film is not to be confused with Mr. Magorium;s Wonder Emporium or The Island of Dr. Moreau or Dr. T and the Women (actually it might be a sequel to Dr. T and the Women, gotta Wikipedia that...)But otherwise, it looks pretty sweet, and should hopefully break Terry Gilliam;s odd drought since Fear and Loathing:130 days ago

For me, the Batman movie franchise hit its unmatchable peak with Joel Schumacher;s 1997 batsterpiece Batman and Robin. I mean, a very rubber-nippled George Clooney battling Arnold Schwarzenegger;s hilarious Mr. Freeze character (along with Uma Thurman and some other bad guy called Bane) with the help of Chris O;Donnell;s Robin AND "Batgirl", played by Alicia Silverstone? Things could go only go downhill from there. But still, this dark, gritty trailer for The Dark Knight, with its "real" actors like Christian Bale and Heath Ledger playing classic comic book adversaries Batman and The Joker, this might be worth watching too.215 days ago
Man, this Bob Dylan biopic I;m Not There has sounded f;in crazy from the get-go, but I can;t remember the last time I wanted to see a movie as much as this one. As a die-hard Dylan fan, the premise of him being portrayed by a woman, a young black child, Heath Ledger and even old Dick Gere, well, somehow it;s all starting to make sense for me. At least his legend isn;t going to be reduced to the boring "rags to riches to drugs to a comeback" formula that seems to be the prevailing method of making movies about musicians these days. What do you guys think?
