The Dack is Back!!


As The Dark Knight is released tonight the movie season has officially begun this year. While The Dack might be the only one that holds this view.... Let's look back at some of this 2008's Best and Worst so far....

1. The Dark Knight: Yeah, I haven't seen it but you just know it's going to be good. I have to put it at the top of the list just so I don't have to come back and edit this after I see it in 2 days. You'll have to wait till this weekend to see how many Dacks this one gets.

2. Iron Man: John Favreau and Robert Downy Jr paired up to make the one of the best comic book films ever. Had this been any other year we would still be talking about this movie as the best comic book film of 2008, to bad it came out before The Dark Knight. I still had to give it eightDacks.

3. Wall-E: I haven't seen it but I am sure it's like every other Pixar film. For some it might rank over Iron Man, well the Dack didn't see it but I'm still smitten over Downy Jr as Tony Stark (yes that's a Iron Man reference). At this point Pixar is really going to have jump up to a whole new level for Dack to get really excited. Yeah, that sounds harsh but with so many movies out there.... the last couple of films Pixar has rolled out haven't really wowed me like Toy Story, The Incredibles or, Finding Nemo did.

4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall: I admit that Judd Apatow films aren't for everyone but the Dack is a fan. This is easily the best comedy of 2008 so far. Jason Segal showed us what he was all about as he wrote and stared is this hilarious relationship comedy. One more warning for any one taking my advice and seeing it, watch out for the man dong!(3 times!!) I can't forget Sarah Marshall because it got eightDacks!

I could throw a whole bunch of other stuff on here but these are the only ones I might actually pay to see again. I will give a small shout out to Kung Fu Panda..., which proved once and for all that Jack Black can carry a film... I bet just like me you didn't know one other voice until the credits rolled. It got sixDacks and was defiantly the best kids film of 2008 so far.

For the worst of 2008, only one film winds up on this list so far this year. I could put other things but The Happening deserves to be all by it's lonesome. M. Night please learn from this and get back to your old form making movies I love. If you need help the Dack is here to help. For disappointing me and failing on every level from acting (yes I'm talking about you Mark Walberg), directing, editing, and writing, The Happening only happened to get twoDacks.

The Dack is headed to his 10 year class reunion this weekend and so nostalgia is running high. Check this new trailer for Terminator: Salvation. Just to make everyone feel a little older, Terminator 2 came out in 1991, dang that feels like a long time ago.
