Ledger Delivers..... uh, delivered

A few months ago, when Heath Ledger died, there was endless hype about his amazing performance as The Joker.  We saw Dark Knight last night, and I was blown away by the genius behind this character.  It almost  diminished the rest of the movie, which speaks volumes considering the talent of the other actors.  He was eve creepier than Bale's rendition of The Machinist. In general, I enjoyed begins more than Dark Knight.   I was slightly disappointed by Maggie Gyllenhall's performance, and by the Spielberg-esque multiple false endings.  I still give it four out of five though, and if Ledger doesn't win a posthumous Oscar for his role, I just might start buying pirated DVD's and stealing cable.
