The new film, “Kajaki”, is based on a true story of a group of British paratroopers in Afghanistan. It has received more attention than a low-key British indie flick usually would. This is in part because of the timing of its release, shortly after the ending of British combat operations in Afghanistan, but it is also because the film's punch seems so deeply rooted in the everyday http://econ.st/1FIkf9r

Playing the Joker, the disfigured clown and Batman's (Christian Bale) most formidable and intelligent enemy, Ledger creates one of the most unforgettable villains in movie history.
His portrayal of this lunatic--a madman in the same league as Hannibal Lecter--is terribly creepy but intoxicating.
With Nolan's brilliant story-telling and fast-paced editing, Ledger's Joker elevates this movie from an ordinary American comic flick to the heights of a dark, insightful thriller. It's no surprise that the front page of the press kit and the main photo promoting the film feature the Joker, not the Bat.
