Joker

Went to see Joker today after having lots of friends recommending it.

No spoilers here but that film was DARK! This is not your run of the mill comic book film by any measure.It was emotional to watch but boy did Joaquin Phoenix turn in one hell of a performance. I used to think nobody would ever be able to top Heath Ledger's fantastic portrayal of the classic Batman villain but Phoenix ran away with this one (knocked it out of the park as the Americans would say). It must have taken a lot of work to take on this role and sell it so convincingly. Phoenix most certainly deserves an Oscar for this performance. Joker is well written, has good pace, the visuals and soundtrack all fit so well together This one definitely puts DC back on the movie map where in the past they have always come up short.

Check out the trailer, check out the film!
