Things-To-Do Charlotte, NC| July 18-20
July 18th, 2008 Categories: Things To Do Charlotte
Its another summer weekend full of things-to-do in Charlotte, NC!
by Megan McDonald
“The Dark Knight”
See Heath Ledger’s final performance on IMAX! Discovery Place has shows all weekend long. Catch all the dark, intense scenes on the big screen! I personally saw it opening night, at 12:01, and it was quite worth it. I will probably see it more than once! For any fan, it is a darker look at Batman and the world he lives in, and Heath Ledger will give you the chills as you enter the twisted world of the Joker. If I could suggest one thing you must do this weekend, it would be to see ‘The Dark Knight.’
Call Discovery Place for more ticket information 704-372-6261

Terry, I saw the Batman movie tonight and I was blown away! I thought Heath was absolutely awesome. He made the Joker worthy to be Batman’s rival and someone you could actually fear. I thought they did a fantastic job with the movie.
It’s a shame he won’t be around to receive the Oscar.
Hi i would ask you if it’s allright that i use your picture of Bryan Adams to a video that i will upload on YouTube ?
Hope it’s allright ?
