• Script is funnier and slicker than Hellboy 1
• Very fantasy based, as opposed to Hellboy 1’s more historical/urban setting
• CGI is, of course, flawless
• Luke Goss can act!
• del Toro’s usual inspired creature design

• Fantastic performance
• Great slightly surreal acoustic cover of the God Save the Queen
• Female french accents that make you weak at the knees
• Everyone singing along to Love Will Tear Us Apart was a nice moment
• I want to see more live bossa-nova style music now!

Also seems like we picked the right night to go, the next day the set was cut short by a fire alarm.

This was a fun night, although I can see how it would be better in smaller, more intimate venue. I’m not sure if she actually has a set-list or just makes it up on the night. It was a fantastically anarchic performance, the band just seems to try and keep up with whatever she feels like singing. But, hey, she’s hot! More about Camille on her interwebnets site.

Whoah, it’s pretty Dark. I mean, like, really dark. I kept forgetting it was only 12A rated and then getting confused when you didn’t see any blood or real violence. All the violence was implied and off-camera, which in some cases is actually more effective as our own twisted minds fill in the blanks.

I loved the bank heist opening scene, oh so very Michael Mann - someone Nolan admits was a big influence. Ledger is magnificent as The Joker, the expression on this face when he is locked up in the police cell is fantastic. Reading the “trivia” on imdb it sounds like he went to a pretty dark place to get the character right, something which unfortunately may have contributed to his depression.

I really want to see it again now. I haven’t immediately wanted to see another film again for a while.
