We went with friends tonight to see Batman: The Dark Night. Rich had watched a clip online where the main actors and the director were interviewed about the making of the movie, and one comment stood out to me – they wanted to make it intense the whole time.

They succeeded.

There was not ONE moment during the movie that I lost attention, zoned out, tuned out – not ONE. From the moment it started, it was captivating. Poor Rich’s arm was squeezed through most of the movie as I waited for certain things to happen. The acting was just incredible. The action was incredible. The intensity was definitely edge-of-your-seat! I appreciated the fact there was no blood and gore, though there were plenty of moments I turned my head because of what I thought was coming! But, wow, what a get-your-heart-pumping-and-keep-it-there movie!
