    “Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones” Plot Summary

    Anakin Skywalker shares a forbidden romance with Padme Amidala while his teacher, Obi-Wan Kenobi, makes an investigation of a separatist assassination attempt on Padme which leads to the discovery of a secret Republican clone army.

    Better than I expected

    Before seeing Attack of the clones I had seen neither the original star wars nor episode I and I didn’t have any particularly strong ambitions to see them, I am a big cult fan but star wars just never really appealed to me

    I happened to come across the episode II DVD going cheap while browsing in my local library and thought I might as well buy it. And to my slight amazement, I really loved it. Many fans complain that the new ones are nothing compared with the originals, having never seen the originals to compare it with I thought it was brilliant. The action, the adventure, the love story, the lightsabres, C-3PO. The chase through the city near the beginning was fast and furious and had great special effects, as did the scene when Obi-Wan first sees the clones. The arena scene is a particular favourite of mine as it flows so well passing from one piece of action to another with such ease. The fights were amazing (particularly Obi-Wan’s and Jango’s) and very well choreographed. The film made me laugh (which is something I almost always look for) just little lines like ‘I retransmitted it to Coruscant, just as you’d requested, Master. Then we decided to come and rescue you.’ [Obi-Wan looks at his handcuffed hands] ‘Good job’. The whole thoroughness of it all just made me wonder about the sheer immensity of George Lucas’s imagination and it made me realize why all those boys in my class used to make lightsabre noises. I admit that some of the Anakin/Padme dialogue was sickly sweet but being a typical teenage girl when it comes to love, I’m fine with that. Also overall the acting was slightly wooden but I admit that this did suit the Jedi style characters. Overall, it was my ideal film, action, adventure, romance, comedy and some nice epic not too drawn out battles. If this is bad compared to the originals, then I really should get round to seeing those originals.9/10

    “Six Days Seven Nights” Movie Review

    “6 Days 7 Nights” Plot Summary

    Robin Monroe, a New York magazine editor, and the gruff pilot Quinn Harris must put aside their mutual dislike if they are to survive after crash landing on a deserted South Seas island. add synopsis

    Surprisingly, delightful!

    I sat down in front of this movie fully expecting to laugh at it and was hardly ever given the opportunity: although the opening, with David Schwimmer ‘Friends-ing’ it is pretty awful. You sense there’s more to it all though when he asks Heche to wear something special and her naughty thoughts are quickly usurped with a ring. Nice script moment and I kept watching…The meat of the film centres around the burgeoning love between the unlikely castaway couple of Ford and Heche. I mean, this film has no pretensions beyond being a fully loved-up snog in the back of the flea-pit matinee, so we get flirting almost from the moment they crash. But a mixture of competent shooting at a marvelous location and great acting from Ford that’s well matched by Heche (who’s not only attractive, but game, wearing revealing costume throughout and having to refer to her own chest as ’small’ more than once) renders it sexy and believable

    Chuck in some authentic contemporary pirates – I’m also a bit tickled by the fact that the Star Wars prequels’ Boba Fett is chasing around after IV, V and VI’s Han Solo! – and Reitman’s smart decision to avoid excessive tie-ups (e.g. How does Heche get down the island white water Ford found so difficult? Will Schwimmer hook up with the Latino at the end? etc.) and you have highly enjoyable 6.5/10 matinee fare for a weekend date. Bravo

    “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” Movie Review

    “Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith” Plot Summary

    After three years of fighting in the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker concludes his journey towards the Dark Side of the Force, putting his friendship with Obi Wan Kenobi and his marriage at risk.

    A Damn Good Movie!

    Upon seeing Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith early this morning, I let it sink in all day to form my opinion. After all that thought, I concluded that this was a damn good movie… and probably my favorite of all 6 episodes (definitely of the episodes 1-3)! One of the things I liked about this movie is the way it presents Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). George Lucas made you believe that, although we know Anakin was evil, he did not believe himself to be evil. In fact, he thought he was doing the right thing, even though some of those things were undeniably wrong

    Also, many of the mysteries were finally answered. We all knew Anakin was Darth Vader, and that Vader was the father of Luke Skywalker and Leia, but now we know how and why they were separated. We also know how Darth Vader came about and why the need for the costume. All this and more! A review of this movie would not be complete without mention of the spectacular special effects. Every shot in the movie is stunning and hard to look away from. The action starts from the very beginning and does not let up, except for some minor love scenes. The light saber battles between Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), Yoda, Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson) and General Grievous were all done extremely well. Even R2-D2 got to kick some butt! Overall, as you can probably tell, I loved this installment of the series. All of the questions were answered and was more action packed than I could have hoped for. Definitely recommended. 9.5/10
