    "The "Republic" has been in shambles for the last decade. It is nearing a civil war where millions will surely die. One of the most high-profile targets of the opposition is "Senator Padme Amidala" (Natalie Portman) of "Naboo," who escapes an assassination attack thanks to her look-alike decoy, who gave her life to save that of the former queen. "Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi" (Ewan McGregor) and his apprentice "Anakin Skywalker" (now being played by Hayden Christiensen) are dispatched by the "Jedi Council" to protect the young politician. Upon their first meeting in the senator's home, she almost doesn't recognizes the former slave she first met on the desert planet of "Tatooine" ten years ago. What the "Jedi" discovers is that the on-going assassination attempts on the senator is just a small part of a much larger plan to cause unrest in the already fragile "Republic" which will lead to a war where clones of a bounty hunter will battle in the name of the "Republic" in uniforms that w ...

    "Though the third Fast and the Furious installment, Tokyo Drift, wasn’t a huge box office disappointment with its $63 million domestic gross, it was significantly less successful than its predecessors, The Fast and the Furious ($145 million) and 2 Fast 2 Furious ($127 million). A fourth film would normally see an even bigger drop in box office receipts, but next week’s Fast & Furious has a good chance of actually being the highest-grossing film in the series yet, due to the return of original cast members Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster and, most im " [More]

    "Don’t you just hate when the movies make you care about a bigot? Sure, racists are technically humans, but that doesn’t mean we need to sympathize with them, right? No matter how great the film, it should be very difficult to accept the softening of intolerant people. Yet the lovable racist is not uncommon in cinema. In fact, out in theaters right now are two films dealing with this type of character. The Reader presents a cold Concentration Camp guard (Kate Winslet) for whom we’re meant to shed a tear, and Gran Torino focuses on a War Veteran stereotype (Clint Eastwood) who may evoke from the audience as much amusement as disgust. Maybe it’s like picking a scab, watching these kinds of movies. Some great films, such as Downfall, may only welcome an understanding of someone so heinous as Adolph Hitler, but other films have allowed us to totally enjoy racist protagonists of lesser offense. Check out the following examples to see " [More]

    "After watching the new teaser for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I personally had no comment. Having stopped reading the series somewhere in the center of the previous book, I didn’t feel I had any authority on the matter. The only thing I thought while watching the clip was that it seemed more like one of those annoying prequels that comes after a series to humanize that series’ villain with an origin story (y’know, like the Star Wars prequels and Young Hott Hannibal (wait, that’s not what it was titled?). And until I read an interesting trailer analysis on MTV Movies Blog this morning, I thought that couldn’t actually be the case. Actually, MTV’s look at the teaser began last night with a frame by frame analysis, in which Sh " [More]

    "Probably one of the more visually accomplished of the installments, particularly the innovation in making a digital Yoda, such that he brandishes his lightsaber in the chapter's awe-inspiring climax. At the same time it is the installment of all six that feels most in tune with a 1930's serial, of which the style of all episodes are based on. The acting itself is not exactly memorable but it is the sensual essence of the film, the story propelled by stunning visuals and audio and score, that will forever remain prevailant in our recollections of the six episodes that make up the film we know as Star Wars.

    "With the arrival of Star Wars: The Clone Wars in theaters (which I’ve still yet to see) I thought it a good opportunity to revisit the first part of Lucas’ space epic. As I worked through The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and then Revenge of the Sith (with the first animated Clone Wars series in between the last two) I found the biggest change is a gradual diminishing of unnecessary moments in each consecutive film. Where Menace is filled with shots that serve no discernible purpose, Sith is pretty tight from a story-telling point of view. We aren’t subjected to many useless shots of a character looking from one side of the frame to the next, and the camera doesn’t linger upon the glory of Lucas’ CGI creations as it so often does in the first movie. It’s impossible, even if you’re like me and are willing to forgive a lot as I am, to not be occasionally taken out of the moment by the hammy bits of dialogue and instances of wooden acting that litter the films. But even with ... " [More]
