It’s been 7 hours since I walked out of the “Dark Knight” IMAX premiere in Manhattan and I am still speechless. The kick in adrenaline has not left my body. I LOVED “Iron Man” and this is just as good, if not better. Yesterday on Your World (Neil’s show on Fox News that I have been anchoring while he’s on vacation), we did a segment on whether Hollywood is exploiting the loss of Heath Ledger in all of the advertising and promotion of the movie. Yesterday, I might have wondered. Today, I know why. HE STEALS THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never have I seen a performance that I was so drawn to. He is OUTSTANDING. He sucks you in with his bizarre looks and witty one-liners. I have not read one review of this film although I know the hype is huge. This lives up to it.

Last night in the taxi ride hom,e my husband, whom I should note for the record, owns thousands of comic books and knows every single detail of this comic book series and what happens next (I wouldn’t let him tell me too much), and I thought about the best performances by a villain and Heath Ledger is now one of them. If he does not win the Oscar I will be SHOCKED.
