Dark Knight

Ok, my teacher said that we could use this blog for anything at all.... it just had to be in good nature and all that jazz.

Everyone out there should know that Batman: The Dark Knight is out in theaters.

But its more than just that. The new Batman movie is amazing and everyone should go it. Heath Ledger does should a great job as the Joker in the Batman movie. Ledger got into character so well its just sad that people can not enjoy his acting skills anymore because of what happened to him a few months before the movie came out into theaters.

Heath Ledger was not born in this country. He was born in Western Australia, Australia on April 4, 1979. Ledger had wanted to be an act for a while and him and a friend of him at the time went off on their own and tried to get roles in different things. They did all of this in Sydney, Australia. He had his first role in a small budget movie called Blackrock. His acting career what off from there and he get really good at what he did. Whatever role that was handed to him, he would study that role until he become whatever character he was acting as. That is one reason why he was so great as the Joker people say because he get into character well. Some people would say to well because that is what caused him to die. He is taking so many drugs because he got so depressed from the Joker that he could not take it anymore; so he started to take pills for it. On January 22, 2008 he took to many pills and he OD on all of his pills that he took. He died in his Manhattan apartment.

I know that I will miss his acting skills and he seemed like a great guy to know.
I know that the world will miss him so much.
