Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Better than previous two, still questionable dialogue

[7/10 · 17 May 2005]

I definitely think people show go and see this movie, to link the Star Wars story in their mind if nothing else. The action and characters in this movie are better than the previous two, but I am still left wanting in terms of dialogue. I know these are sci-fi movies, and don't usually depend on deep lines and intense character devlopment, but I can't help comparing the witty banter of Episode 4,5,and 6 with the contrite lines of this movie. I just think George Lucas is good at many things--just not writing lines--especially for people who are in love. People who had a hard time not laughing at Padme and Anakin in Episdode II will find this movie to be similar in the couple's lame praise of each other. Oh well!!

On a Clear Day (2005)

Fantastic Film...plus Hobbit sightings....great night all around

[23 January 2005]

I also had the opportunity to see "On a Clear Day" at the world premiere on Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really hope that this film gets picked up because its main themes would probably be well received by mass audiences.

There was humor, family conflict, drama, and some great Scottish dialogue (some of which I do need to hear again in order to get ALL of the jokes.) It was just a great experience to be able to watch the film on location with all of the people who worked so hard to make it happen.

On a side note, my friends and I were able to meet Elijah Wood(even though he was not in the movie, he came to support Billy) and Billy afterwards. Being a hard-core Lord of the Rings fan, the experience was great. Please go and see it if you can!!
