Some ok names in this relatively low budget christmas movie. It's actually not bad for young kids. But I couldn't get my head around the acting of Santa, it was so bad I assumed they ran out of money. I was surprised to see it was George Wendt. Anyway, switch this on for the kids and go wrap presents!

If Ledger showed us the deranged, criminal mastermind that is the joker than Joaquin told us how he got there. The journey is darker and more disturbing and the result is a movie that is so good, so epic, so raw that you walk out thinking, I can't watch that again. In that way it really is like Taxi Driver, and realistically with what the film is trying to portray I can't help but feel that's a respectful response. A lot of really satisfying nods to numerous Joker portrayals, in writing, screenplay, soundtrack and in the nuances of Joaquins portrayal. But the Dark Knight nods are the ones that really get the excitement up whilst avoiding any cheesy CGI and glad to see no sequal or spinoff platform was built in to the story.

Truly a masterpiece.... that maybe you should only see once....
