The Dark Knight... simply marvellous!

Last weekend I went to the cinema to watch the second episode of the Christopher Nolan's Batman. The first one (Batman Begins) was great but not a masterpiece... but this one is one of the nicest movie I ever seen since years.

Not because of the special effects or the crashed Lamborghini Murcielago ( sigh :( ) but because of the direction, it's impressive. 152 minutes of real passion, starting from funny to the total discouragement... at the end of the first act you think that things cannot go worse than that... and in the second act you really reach the bottom! Unfortunately I saw many children (with parents) watching this movie at the cinema and I didn't like that because this movie is violent and the madness of the Joker could be misunderstood by some of them.

Anyway... the Joker's interpretation is great (thanks Heath Ledger for giving as that before taking your life away)... never to say... just go to the cinema before it will be too late (but before be sure you remember the first episode).

However, the real wonder comes to me when I discovered that Christopher Nolan was the director and the writer of Memento... the best movie I ever seen in my entire life. So, at this point I really think I am in a kind of love with this man! :) Don't worry Christopher I am not gay... but I love you! Can I? :)

Another day... another puzzle! :)

So, here you are the Atlas project puzzle... which can be bought at the Cern (see http://atlas.ch/puzzle.html). Unfortunately it is just a 500 pieces puzzle (there are no other options)... and quite simple to solve (I did it in a couple day of puzzling).

Anyway it is something different from the usual nature/cities/arts puzzles and for few euro you can buy it and also contribute to the Atlas project. The puzzle is made by Ravensburger which makes its quality simply awesome.

Ravensburger rules... definitely a step forward Clementoni or others puzzle producers.

Bye guys... and thanks for reading my blog!
