In this week's Ketchup, Mr. Skin gives his own brand of movie recommendations, another shot of Heath Ledger as The Joker, and multiple viral websites related to all things Dark Knight keep the Batfans on edge. Also, a rumored cameo in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and a high-profile possibility for John Connor.

In an age of fast-rising Hollywood production costs, the young actresses who strive to keep movie budgets down -- specifically in the wardrobe department -- deserve to be saluted.

Another New Shot of Heath Ledger as The Joker?
Is there such a thing as too much leadup to a film's debut? Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan had better hope not, because no sooner have we finished discussing the new The Dark Knight viral sites than it's time to report on Empire Online's slow unveiling of what appears to be a new picture of Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Indy 4 Cameo Rumor!
Don't feel like waiting until next May to find out the details of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Neither did a "solid" Movieweb source, and that's why an Indy 4 spoiler hit the Web yesterday.

John Cusack is Genre-jumping (!). Interesting. Hopefully this will prove to be better than the mediocre 1408. If not, I'll have to insist that John Cusack goes back to the Genre that made him famous.

Excited for Shutter Island. I just recently saw The Departed (yeah I know, I'm about a year late), and it was fantastic. Scorsese's back, at least for the moment. Let's see if his comeback lasts long enough to make Shutter Island amazing.

That's sweet that Ruffalo has joined Shutter Island. Leaves of grass sounds promising.
