The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight easily becomes the greatest superhero movie of all time. This is really hard for me to say since I am a SUPERMAN fan through and through. The movie shows a riveting performance by Heath Ledger playing the role of the Joker.

Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale and Heath Ledger together craft the most unique, eerie, and enjoyable villain to date. The Joker's role in the movie fits into the puzzle so perfectly, as he just drops in with no indication of how or why he came to Gotham City. But nonetheless, Heath's role only plays a small part in the grand scale of this movie.

Unlike the predictions for this movie, the Joker was not the main focus throughout the film. Batman has just as big of a role as the Joker, as well as Harvey Dent and Commissioner Gordon.

The movie puts each character as the main focus throughout different parts of the film. One second you think this character is the threat; the next second is another character. But the movie had one big plot that came solemnly from the Joker. He was just trying to prove a point, that anyone can become corrupt. Hence the line "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the hero." And that is exactly what The Dark Knight sticks to.

From the opening scene to the final film credit I found myself on the edge of my seat! My trip home was stellar. Every expectation, emotion, and superhero hype was meant and far exceeded!

Go see this movie; it is more worth your ticket cost than any other movie this year.

Superman Collection

In 1990, I began a journey that has lasted now almost 19 years. I was in a small city in the heart of east Tennessee when over the radio I heard “Superman is dead”! The first thing that came to my mind was “NO WAY” Superman can’t be dead! The marketing add worked and that weekend I went out and bought the death comic of superman. The rest is history!

For the last 18+ years I have been collecting anything superman and now have over 750 pieces in my collection and growing. Most of this collection is in cases and stored away in closet for protection from sunlight, etc.

The first of the year we signed up at the local library to display our collection. We were given a large display case in the entrance and a glass case to side of that. We loaded up and Colin, myself and one of our students (Rebecca) displayed 200 pieces of our collection for our friends and community.

Our collection will be on display and the Sebastian North County Library for the month of July. Here are a few pics we took the day we set up.

One day I am sure that I will pass my collection on to my son.
