Batman (1989)
For the sake of full disclosure, this is only the fourth Batman movie I’ve seen all the way through. The others being Batman (1966), Batman Begins, and The Dark Knight. This was very different than the other two images of Batman that I have seen. Keaton produced an interesting picture of Bruce Wayne. Quite and collective for the most part, even seeming out of place at his own party. But let’s be honest, Nicholson stole the show. Playing the Joker who was ridiculous in all accounts and using all of the silly puns. This movie is one of the most colorful Tim Burton movies with out blatantly going colorful like the Edward Scissorhands suburb scenes. I was also intrigued by how exaggerated Gotham was, yet Wayne Manor was a regular English looking castle. I enjoyed it a lot, but I choose The Dark Knight.

L.A. Confidential
Kevin Spacey. Russell Crowe. Guy Pearce. James Cromwell. Kim Basinger. Danny DeVito. Seriously, how do you got all of those people into one movie? Just a classic representation of film noir(neo-noir if you want to split hairs). Very well done on all accounts. You start in one place where you think you know everything, but then you are moving along with the characters as you learn more about them as they learn more about the plot.
