Heath Ledger was the man. His death is a big loss for the cinema. His performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight is just unbelievable and unforgettable. The first word I can think of is "powerful". Powerful as the whole movie, which is a real masterpiece. I thought Batman Begins was excellent and now I have a problem because I can't find a word to define correctly its sequel. When you have a bunch of such great actors (Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale) to serve such a fantastic plot, it has to be really good ! Oh, and Mr Nolan, if you want to do a third Batman movie, don't hesitate ! One piece of criticism, though: why did you replace Katie Holmes by Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes ? There are so many beautiful actresses in Hollywood… I could write more but it's nearly impossible to describe these 152 minutes of ecstasy without destroying their magic. So watch this awesome movie !

"Oh captain, my captain..."

I watched "Dead Poets Society" twice and I could watch it thousands of times without being bored ! It's absolutely perfect ! This movie is also very topical even if it takes place in the fifties. The fight against conformism is and will always be fundamental.

Some might say that this movie is demagogue but in my opinion it's an example for young people of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

As far as the cast is concerned, Robin Williams is great, as always, and the young men (among them the future star Ethan Hawke) act very well.

So watch this excellent movie and... Seize the day !

When I saw the trailer, I thought that it was only a romantic story without interest. And, as a tennis fan, I was afraid of how they were going to show this sport that I love. But I was totally mistaken. This movie is absolutely excellent !

First, the matches are very well done (with the complicity of Pat Cash). We can even see John McEnroe and Chris Evert as TV-speakers ! Then, it's not only a romantic story (even if romanticism sometimes doesn't hurt ^^), there's also humor, it's really funny ! And as far as the characters are concerned, they're very endearing and moving.

Finally, with this movie, the English people can make his dream come true, at least on TV. Because the last English player to play the final in Wimbledon was Fred Perry, who won it in... 1936 ! Tim Henman was expected to be this winner all England was waiting for but he hasn't done it yet and he'll probably never do it.

Except if he does it this year in his - maybe - last Wimbledon after his thrilling five-set victory in the first round, like Peter Colt...
