| | The best Batman yet! | battlin 01/20/2007 | | A thrill that lasts throughout the whole film. Lots of suspense and action for a "comic book" character. Christian Bale provides the hero with a persona that is missing from the other Batman movies. |

Pandaemonium 2000  PG-13, 124 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Julien Temple
Cast: Linus Roache, John Hannah, Samantha Morton, Emily Woof, Emma Fielding, Andy Serkis, Samuel West, Michael N. Harbour, William Scott-Masson, Clive Merrison
Great Britain's new poet laureate is about to be announced in 1816, and William Wordsworth (John Hannah) is the favorite. As the crowds gather, his old friend/partner Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Linus Roache) comes out of seclusion to join in the congratulations. Now a hopeless opium addict, Coleridge reflects on their early years when they left society to live on a communal farm. While Wordsworth was despondent with writer's block, Coleridge created his masterpiece, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," with the help of a little opium. As time progressed, jealousies, drugs, and argumentative relationships followed. While not historically accurate, Julien Temple's flair for innovativeness makes for an enjoyable film.
