The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight quiz.
A popular and critical darling, The Dark Knight dominated cinema in 2008. Christopher Nolan's dark, complicated tale pitted Gotham's protector against an enigmatic, malevolent foe. You may know your Coleman Reese from your Sal Maroni, but how well do you know The Dark Knight?
Before Their Time
She's holding his gun. Hee HEE hee. .
The two most recent James Bond adventures have been praised for their gritty realism, exhilarating stunt work, and depictions of an ill-tempered Bond driven more by personal vendettas than a desire to please his superiors. Compared to the increasingly ridiculous Pierce Brosnan outings, these films are cinéma vérité. Contrary to what those with short memories might believe, though, Daniel Craig was not the first brutish Bond. Twenty years ago, Timothy Dalton explored similar territory in one of my favorite 007 outings, Licence to Kill.
