Star Wars: The Clone Wars This show has been getting a real beating by the movie critics and reviewers. I have not read a single positive review with even one calling it a 2 hour commercial for Star Wars toys, and many deriding it for having absolutely no plot and character development. Thankfully the truth is not as bad as those probably biased reviewers had made it to be. There is a story behind the rather silly notion of the baby of Jabba the Hutt being kidnapped by Count Dooku in an attempt to turn Jabba against the Republic. And how Anakin together with his new Padawan Ahsoka had to save baby Jabba and returned him to papa before Jabba fell into Dooku’s deceptions. Along the way, we are treated to a number of battle sequences involving lots of clones and droids and all the guns and ships and tanks we saw from Attack of the Clones. While there was nothing wrong with those action pieces, the problem is that after being treated to the glorious CGI of ILM in 2 episodes of Star Wars, the animation in The Clone Wars just does not cut it. As this is Star Wars, a few light sabar duels are obligatory; and again while there was nothing really wrong with Obi-Wan vs Asajj and Anakin vs Dooku, after seeing Yoga vs Emperor and Obi-Wan vs General Greevious in Ep 3, those fights were boring. I was expecting the fights to include stuffs that were too dangerous or impossible to pull off with CGI or in real life but those were probably the least exciting fights I can remember from Star Wars in a long time. The reviewer does get one thing right and that is Ahsoka was as annoying as hell in the movie. For someone who is supposedly still learning the way of the Force, she was just way too cocky and she does get on your nerve after a while. I have never remembered a padawan that was so accomplished with the use of the Force as Ahsoka was. I think she was a better Jedi in The Clone Wars than Anakin was in Episode 2. Still it was good to see all the gang back in action especially Obi-Wan, Yoga and Windu., including Padme who was heavily involved in exposing Dooku’s scheme in the end. I was however a little disappointed to learn from the credits that only Christopher Lee, Samuel L Jackson and Anthony Daniels reprised their respective roles for the movie. It was also good to see Anakin as a good Jedi before he was corrupted by the Emperor. Overall The Clone Wars would probably interest only the die hard Star Wars nut heads who will want to know every last details of the Star Wars mythology. For causal movie fans, this movie offered nothing that is worth paying the price of admission. fb598907821 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars really this movie was very dissapointing. off writing, boring action, and a rather stupid plot. the best thing about the film is the animation style. it's different and i like it. olliec500 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars I thought this might be interesting, but it turns out it's just another animated kids film. I'm not surprised many of the real actors didn't provide their voices to this. XxTazaxX Aug 7, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Another great tale from the Star Wars universe. If you love Star Wars then this will not disappoint. fb646235597 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Shockingly bad - from the god-awful opening voiceover, atrocious script and just plain poor animation, to the lame storyline and damp squib of an ending. If you still haven't got the idea how bad this film is, then wait until you see Jabba the Hutt's camp, cross-dressing uncle. Jesus Christ... fb573878688 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars I was excited to see this movie as I hoped it would give me what the prequels didn't, a good solid storyline. My hopes have been dashed yet again!! The combination of fart jokes and a crossing dressing Hutt totally killed me. Not to mention Anakin walking into Tatooine like nothing ever happened. (Blew all my EU readings out of the water!) I give this movie half a star cause my kids enjoyed it. fb727943366 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars The movie is clearly for Kids. Don't bother with the multiple continuity issues, George Lucas can do what ever he wants, just don't watch the next one he makes. I would stay away from the cartoon series that is supposed to come out. The last one was horrible. fb637629691 Aug 28, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Hum hum... Georges Lucas ferait peut-être bien de ne plus trop toucher à son oeuvre, ici on a droit à un Ersatz de Star Wars,fort centré sur la relation entre Anakin et sa jeune Padawan. C'est pas terrible, au point de vue scénaristiquen ni trop au niveau graphique. Bref un Star Wars du pauvre, j'avais trouvé les épisodes de Cartoon Network bien meilleurs, même s'ils étaient plus court. On y ressentait réellement l'intensité de la guerre. Ici beaucoup moins. Enfin bon c'est un unvers que l'on aime bien alors on est un peu indulgent (mais pas trop)... fb1309987726 Aug 28, 2008
Death Race awesome and pretty cool movie i really like it... of corz the movie was for sure good bcoz of jason s... fb675662546 Aug 28, 2008
The House Bunny I LOVE ANNA FARIS! Its the same dumb blond joke movie thing, but she gives it such a twist that its like new again. Awesome funny movie. Totally fun to watch. fb510240114 Aug 28, 2008
The House Bunny banking off the major success of legally blonde (and by the same screenwriters, no less), the house bunny is a tale of a dumb blonde who exceeds all expectations and defies all odds to achieve her dreams (or in this case a makeover.) the problem is, all the heart and wit that made legally blonde the franchise it became is missing, and the dialogue and humor is extremely forced (with the exception of emma stone, who has never appealed to me but plays her character's dorky sense of humor authentically). the real problem here, though, might be that the character of elle woods (and reese witherspoon) has forty five times the charm and ultimately empowering message of this film's leading lady (and of anna farris.) or maybe it really was just that the script sucked. fb1179330337 Aug 28, 2008
Death Race definetly critics are gonna hate it because the story is junk and the acting is quite bad besides statham,but i enjoyed it because it's just action packed with some funny lines and gore,i was entertained every single minute,skip it if you'r going to it looking for a good movie,go to it if u wanna enjoy a kick ass action movie. fb539215545 Aug 20, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars i didn't think it was horrible,but a little to bit kiddish for me but overall good animation and has a lot of action,so not a bad film. fb539215545 Aug 11, 2008
The House Bunny some parts were funny, but basically i was just horrified that it pulled a breakfast club ending....all the cool people turned into plastic clones. BYOM! fb30605461 Aug 28, 2008
The Rocker Wasn't overly great but still not bad. I love movies that capture the awkwardness of teenagers in it. Rainn Wilson is truly revolting:) fb506907795 Aug 21, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Woody Allen's newest is also perhaps one of his best. Great performances by Javier Bardem and Scarlett Johansson - as well as Rebecca Hall as Vicky (who was equally impressive in Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige"). The real standout here is Penelope Cruz, who brings fire and passion into the film stealing the scene every time the camera is near her. Marks some of her best English-language (for the most part) work, as well as Allen's. fb1509480007 Aug 28, 2008
Death Race Takes all of the campy fun out of the original, leaving nothing but a bad action movie with poor acting. What's the deal with Statham always being a driver anyway? fb643471211 Aug 28, 2008
The House Bunny IT'S LOVABLE. i laughed i cried i thought it was ridiculous. there was some overacting here and there by emma stone, okay probably not her fault cuz the script was a bit... but anna faris was great. she may play a ditz most of the time, but she really gives something to her characters that you know there is something more to her than who she plays. ANYWAYS, the movie was an enjoyable experience, it was touching and fun. fb573507428 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars The animation was suprisingly nice, and apart from the stupid "Sky-guy" cracks and yet another stupid character from George's ever worrying mind... its a pretty good movie. Just dont get your hopes up for an epic movie, the action scenes are impressive, and i was wondering what came to mind with the PG rating at a couple of points (at least it still craps over Ep 1 & 2 put together). fb732812563 May 5, 2008
Traitor Special twist, Special agents, and special stakes. Government over us?Are we guilty also?How many faces can their religion have?Good infidels vs. bad infidels that's what this war on terror is all about. We tend to forget our own history sometimes. KKK and Christianity. Innocent bloodshed on both sides presents challenges and this movie directly and indirectly challenges us to view them. Jeff Daniels amps Cheadle to keep going towards the end because of the war. Mentioning that in a war innocent people will die. This movie is an advent to the real world...ps. it would've been 5 stars, but the trailers tricked me lol there aren't too many action scenes. fb19500689 Aug 27, 2008
Death Race Lock and load...this flick rocks and rolls! Just try NOT driving like you're in a death race when you leave the theater!! fb622910862 Aug 21, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Too kiddied down for me..No Gen Grevious and the ending was rushed. Alot of action but most of it focused on one character too much. Didnt have that Star Wars feel to it. Dascokid1077704 Aug 27, 2008
Mirrors Wow, very rare for a horror movie to pass in my books. most are cheesy and predictable. This one was not and we quite good. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a GOOD horror movie. fb549772132 Aug 27, 2008
Death Race Whoa. I know this movie looks ridiculous, but it's not. At all. It's pretty bad ass. Not quite up to "Death Sentence" bad-assness, but seriously, from now on, any movie with "death" in the title is going to be on my must-see-or-die list. fb7902418 Aug 24, 2008
Mirrors The idea behind the movie was kinda interesting, but it was horrible executed. I thoroughly enjoyed how they tried to use a pigeon flying away as a scare tactic. The ending was extremely hilarious. I think the whole movie theatre was laughing. The acting, while not amazing, was probably the only bright spot of the movie. fb107900105 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona A very pleasant and funny movie! Shows that it is actually POSSIBLE to make a GOOD romantic comedy! Really tho, this is a Woody Allen movie in every sense. A movie about sex and life. Art and love. This means this is not some major piece of work from Woody, but it is still good nevertheless. I must say I really did connect with this film alot, because with the whole "artists trying to defy society" thing, and I go to a freakin art school! Tho I suppose this is where most of the humor comes from, and I probably enjoy this movie more than most people. Oh, and Penelope Cruz is great! She plays a feisty bitch, and she's really good at it! Rebecca Hall is really funny as well! She probably has more screentime more than any actor in this film, and yet she's not the main character! There are 2 complaints that I have. 1. The lesbian "sex" scene. I will admit I went to see this movie after I heard about the hot "lesbian sex scene" MONTHS before the film is released (c'mon! Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz together! count me in!), but it was very disappointing...stupid internet rumors and newspaper articles...they just HAD to exaggerate everything! Or maybe that's just me...but c'mon Woody! Only 5 mins worth of groping between Scarlett and Penelope?! Talents wasted!!! 2. Not sure if the ending worked for me...I probably have to watch the movie more than once to get it. fb299400263 Aug 27, 2008
Mirrors I was so TERRIFIED I couldn't even stop myself from closing and covering my eyes. It was so good, so scary. fb854990084 Aug 27, 2008
The House Bunny Anna Faris is REALLY hysterical and it's great to see a movie that finally doesn't portray a stereo-typical Greek organization!!! Go see this movie, the Zetas are what REAL Greeks are all about :-P And seriously, Anna Faris is so effing funny!!! I almost peed my pants at least 10 times fb1411170045 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Excellent movie. One of the best Woody Allen films in years. The cast is excellent, the story is done well, and one of the best romantic comedy films this year. garywoo993 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars This is realy a film length episode leading into the new 'Clone Wars' TV series butI enjoyed it never the less. I also liked the animation, unlike some people. fb548101099 Aug 27, 2008
The Rocker Yay, the third movie in a row I've watched that surpassed my low expectations. I hope Emma Stone is in every movie for the rest of the year, which, at the rate she's going, seems possible. Kind of has a School of Rock vibe. Some stupid cliche humor, sure, but I ended up laughing a ton. Also seemed a little more heartwarming to me than these movies usually are. Might have to see it again, and I never do that these days. MATT: The camera adds ten pounds. AGENT GUY: Yeah, that and food, right? fb537560044 Aug 27, 2008
The House Bunny I had a few reasons for wanting to see this. Namely, Anna Faris, Emma Stone, and Katherine McPhee. I didn't really expect to enjoy it that much, but I ended up laughing quite a bit. I laughed at stupid, stupid stuff, but at least I was laughing. It kind of reminded me of Grandma's Boy for some reason. I try to go into movies without expectations, but I seriously went in with a chip on my shoulder and it won me over. Also, this is the only time I've ever seen Rumer Willis even remotely attractive. fb537560044 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Star Wars for kids is actually pretty good. Since it is for kids, it's pure action and almost no exposition. Also, it was pretty funny, but most of the humor comes from the humanization of the battle droids. I should note being a Star Wars fan helps, although that faux-Ewan McGregor voice was a little annoying. Another to see only if you've seen everything else. fb537560044 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona A well made movie from Woody Allen. The dialogue is witty and genuine. The two female leads show the two extreme sides of stability and excitement. Most of us experience something in the middle, but Allen makes a point to show the contrast between Vicky and Christina effectively. The painter and his ex wife is merely a catalyst to show how both types of life styles cannot coexist with the idealistic adaptable style that the painter shows. Stories from the the two girls hosts' wife show what someone who dreams but cannot relinquish what she has is like. An overall good film about life and what people seek in love and why it so often fails. fb756313062 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Haters be damned. look the bottomline is this shouldnt have been released theatrically, it should have stayed the series premire because as a cartoon show it is very very good, as a film it doesnt live up to the standartds of critics and such. with saying that i will admit that i really dug the action, i mean finally the force is used in a badass way during fights. the animation is top notch for a tv show, it isnt pixar animation but i bet if pixar did a weekly show the animation would look just like this. it is as good as it can be. the story is good, not great. ive read a lot of complaints about anakins padawan, the fact is its being overhyped, i didnt find her half as annoying as one jar jar binks scene. i can not wait for this to go to series. fb57212916 Aug 27, 2008
Traitor I probably should have seen a lot more of the twists coming, but for some reason, I just couldn't. Cheadle is great as usual, and it was refreshing to have an Islamic protagonist. I don't feel that enough attention was given to developing Guy Pearce nor Jeff Daniels, but for what its worth, the movie is definitely worth the price of admission. fb551834351 Aug 27, 2008
Traitor again I rarely give 5 stars, but this one deserves it! Cheadle is outstanding, and the movie gives us as Americans not only a sense of solidarity against terrorists, but a wake up call that not all muslims are terrorists, evil, or want to destroy us!! fb58803644 Aug 27, 2008
Mirrors Not a total waste of time for one reason: the jaw scene. You'll know what I mean when you see it. That was messed up, but I gotta admit that I've never seen that before. The acting is pretty bad for the most part. Especially the wife. But even Kiefer wasn't putting on his A-game here. And the little boy was flat-out horrible. The story isn't too original either. Crazy stuff happens in a creepy location, people die, one person has to solve the mystery of what happened to stop the chaos, etc. These Asian horror remakes pretty much all involve those same elements. The ending was also way overdone. It was a neat idea, but they just ran it into the ground with way too much over-the-top music. However, for all its flaws, it was kinda interesting and there were some semi-creepy moments. I didn't fall asleep or anything. It's worth renting for the jaw scene anyway. That's about it. fb115800777 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars A little bit too geared for the children for my liking. But I did enjoy the quality of the animation. grafinator Aug 27, 2008
The Rocker For being one of three people in the theatre, i actually liked the rocker. its not the laugh out loud super comedy that the studio wanted, but it was still pretty good. the plot was fairly well thought out, but did seem to go by too fast at times, and the humor while not being the pinnacle of comedic genius still was able to give me a little chuckle. fb10133346 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona The real problem with this movie was that the most screen time was given to the least interesting things. Bardem and Cruz were spectacular; Hall and Johansson were mediocre. Unfourtunately, the latter pair received the majority of screen time. Also, this movie probably had the most awkwardly unnecessary narrator in the entire history of cinema. fb1236960188 Aug 27, 2008
The House Bunny hugh hefner's girlfriends cannot be bunnies. a bunny is a girl who works at a playboy club, and the only one left is at the las vegas playboy tower. good movie though. i respect anything having to do with playboy. fb509068865 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars My high hopes fell very, very hard. You would think that by making an animated movie, the filmmakers would be able to take the Star Wars saga into places it has never gone before. That the limitations would be gone and their imaginations could run wild like a gang of Ewoks in the Endor jungle? Not so, young Padawan. Logging in as one of the greatest missed opportunities in recent memory, The Clone Wars is about as exciting and interesting as watching a Bantha scratch itself. The Jedi Knights saving Jabba's maggoty son? It pains me to say it but the Star Wars video games have better animation and plots. I feel a disturbance in the Force and it is George Lucas trying to squeeze blood from a stone. Give it up, pal. Give it up. jjjpowell Aug 27, 2008
Death Race Again we see Jason statham in yet another DRIVING movie, I guess he sticks to what hes good at. Great action scenes, acting is so-so, I like the Idea of the race, but very un-realilistic. Overall its a good movie you WONT be wasting your money on! fb1109718511 Aug 27, 2008
Death Race Normally, I am not a fan of remakes but in the case of Death Race, I will make an exception. Not only is it an improvement on the original but it stands on its own as a cult classic. Death Race is cranked in drive for its entire running time and rarely gives you time to roll down the window and take a breath. The tributes to seventies exploitation flicks and drive-in classics from the bygone era, are very clever and elevate Death Race above your typical action flick. And, yes, Jason Statham is still very, very cool. jjjpowell Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars This was clearly made with kids in mind. That said, it wasn't as bad as the critics are saying. The story is no where as interesting as any of the other Star Wars movies but it has its moments of cool action and funny dialogue. The animation is not Pixar but it's not supposed to be. I'm hoping the series on Cartoon Network will be better though. fb1360207681 Aug 27, 2008
The House Bunny ok i looooove anna faris and this movie is pretty funny, but this movie has a major flaw... the lighting sucks donkey, the first 20 minutes of the movie i was like uhhh turn on some fricken lights please please! if you can get over bad cinematography then you will enjoy this movie for shizz.. kenobi3 Aug 27, 2008
Vicky Cristina Barcelona Such a cinematically uninspired film that uses every cliché of Spanish culture that I was embarrassed for Woody. So he throws some hot bodies in front of the camera, who cares? And don't get me started on the voice over! fb690447904 Aug 27, 2008
Star Wars: The Clone Wars I love the way Ben Kenobi negotiates with a separatist general and the way his R4 zapped a Jawa, also the agile Ashoka Tano (Anakin Skywalker's padawan aka student); then the total grim color palettes of charcoal gray, prussian blue, dark violet, dark red wine and soft grayish white, which produced a generally stunning look. Although I think it's still too action-hero colors (ref: Superman, Spiderman, Captain America). However, Ventress, Count Dooku's (these are the bad guys) assassin looks like an anorexic alien from Ant's Bully. The Aibo-like (Sony's robodog) Droids has more voice and role this time. They're the jokers who'll make you smile (drily) throughout the movie. For jazz lovers, you'll either love or smirk at the peanut-heads species (whose actual name is "Bith") playing swing in New Yorkish capital of the Republic. The Tattoine desert setting kinda remind me of "Storm" comic back in the 80s. As for the characters, I still think Ben Kenobi's chivalrous conduct is largely built upon sir Alec Guinness from 1979 "Star Wars: A New Hope", while the rest of the characters were so much like "GI Joe". When it comes to an animation movie, you somehow count on voice characters, but this time, it's only Samuel L. Jackson (Jedi Windu) and Anthony Daniels (C3PO) that lived up to your expectation. The politics is trying to cater the young audience. It's tricky and war-like, yet not deadly. A good diplomacy 101 if you plan to bring your kid along, preferably 12+. If realistic furs and humane grimace is the parameter for a gorgeous computer graphics, perhaps Clone Wars was trying to achieve something else. In the end, it's like watching video games without having to think about best strategy to get out from the bad guys and cramp fingers. Dogfight scenes weren't as deadly as the real movie, tho. I got me to think whether all odd looking planes are fit for flying. Well, perhaps there's no gravity out there. The close combat scenes was okay, since it doesn't involve real human beings.. To sum it up, the Clone Wars isn't a big deal. IMHO, it's a kiddie movie.. fb530123510 Aug 27, 2008
Traitor Traitor is a movie that keeps you wondering what is going to happens next. If you're a fan of the Bourne movies you'll enjoy this film, and the best part is it's not hard to follow what is going on. I definitely recommend you check this movie out. fb661088720 Aug 27, 2008
