Batman - The Dark Knight
WOW! I know everybody is saying that Heath Ledger should win the Oscar... and he should. This was not only the best comic book movie I've seen, but one of the best movies period. My only complaint was that they could have cut the last 20 minutes or so out, and put that in the next movie. Anyway, I can't wait for it to come out on DVD so I can buy it. I loved it. 5/5 Stars

Re-Review: Bruce Springsteen - Magic
Well, if you have read my reviews you know, I really came down hard on The Boss' new album "Magic". Well, since I am finally going to get to see him live in Aug. I decided to dig out the new stuff and get real familiure with it. I want to be able to follow all the songs he does. So after listening to this album again about 3 times, I have to re-rate it.
If you listen to rock radio, you have probably already heard "Radio Nowhere". Like that song, many of the others had to grow on me first. That is unusual for a Springsteen album. However, it is refreshing that he isn't afraid to try something new. He doesn't just release the same music with different names and places referenced. The good thing is this is still an E. Street Band record as well. I am just as much a fan of the band as I am of Bruce. Anyway, so if you like the Born in the USA album and if you liked new stuff like The Rising, you should go get Magic. However don't judge it on just 1 spin. Remember, let it grow on you. I now give this album 3.5/5 Stars.
