"Wanted" tops summer movie poll


The Angelina Jolie / James McAvoy thriller, "Wanted" was voted Best Summer Movie by the staff of The Bitter Producer. If you haven't seen "Wanted," it can best be described as "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" meets "The Matrix" meets "The Bourne Identity."

The movie itself has the three essential elements needed to ensure box office success... Guns, car chases and Morgan Freeman.

Rounding out the top three Best Summer Movies was the upcoming "Batman: The Dark Knight," followed by "Robert Downey, Jr.'s "Iron Man."

BAT TRIVIA



Did you know that the original and still the best "Joker," Cesar Romero (sorry Jack and Heath) refused to shave off his trademark mustache when playing the clown prince of crime on TV"s "Batman." To avoid a crisis, the producers decided to paint the white makeup over it. If you look closely, you can still see the stache.

HOLY PRESS SCREENING BATMAN!


I got invited to a press screening of the new Batman movie in IMAX last night and all I have to say is "WOW!" Heath Ledger totally lives up to the hype. His portrayal of Joker rocks and is a shoe-in for an Oscar nomination -- Too bad he's not around to enjoy what would have been the biggest role of his career.
