The Joker Rules the 'Knight'
Stephen Hunter finds "The Dark Knight" too long and lacking focus. But Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker is worth the price of admission: "He's supple of body, expressive with only his eyes, and his voice has undulations of irony and mockery and psychopathology to it. He's an essay -- in a way he's never before been, playing straight-faced characters -- in pure charisma." 'The Dark Knight': National Showtimes Watch the Trailer | Q&A, 1 ET Today: DC Comics' Paul Levitz The Joker's Legacy | Photos Meryl Streep, Dancing Queen? Ann Hornaday praises Meryl Streep's giddy performance in "Mamma Mia!." But she also points out that this musical can get irritating, fast: "Loud, forced, occasionally crotch-grabbingly crude, 'Mamma Mia!' is so fueled by the shrieking-banshee vibe of a drunken hen party that it makes the cafe confabs of "Sex and the City" girls look like a meeting of the Ms. editorial board."
