Dark Knight and Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Tons of potentially sweet movies are going to be coming out in the summer and fall, two of which I think are going to be the best movies of 2008. The first is The Dark Knight, I don't even care, this movie is going to completey destroy everything. Chris Nolan is so good at directing movies its stupid. He is easliy one of the best directors alive, but he won't be nominated for an academy award or anything until he makes a worse movie, because that is how it works. He shot to stardom when he made the movie Memento in 2000, which is one of my favorite movies ever, and then he made a slew of other movies that are also favorites of mine. Now, the Dark Knight will absolutlely dominate. It is written by him and his brother, who know exactly how to write a movie. It is directed by him, the absolute man. The cast is absolutely absurd, packed to the brim with superstars. The cinematographer is one of the best alive, and gets nominated for every single movie he shoots now, and Dark Knight looks to be the best looking of any of his movies yet. The music is awesome, the locations are gorgeous, and every single thing about this movie will be unbelievable because the team working on it couldn't produce anything less than that if they tried. Not to mention, Heath Ledger's passing will make the movie even more intense than it was going to be, which was already the most intense movie ever made.

Next up is the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which I think will be the best movie of 2008 that people in high positions will actually be able to call the best movie of 2008. David Fincher, the director, is an absolute beast who makes extraordinary looking movies that are very entertaining. This is his first chance to blow people away, and judging by everything I've seen, it looks like a masterpiece. Cate Blanchett will do her normal thing and be the best actress ever. Brad Pitt's ability is underrated, and he will explode with awesome in this movie. Make sure you see this movie in the fall.
