You know how I said that Attack of the Clones was an improvement over The Phantom Menace? Well, this one kicks both their asses and is the best of the prequels for sure. Like I have said in the other … more
The best of the prequels and that isn't saying much. Still suffers from WAY over reliance on special effects and wooden characters not to mention a bad story but at least it FEELS like the Star Wars of … more
Best if the last of the "new" trilogy of Lucas prequel films. I loved the volcano scene, the rise of Vader and the birth of Luke & Leah. Also the most successful of the three new trilogies. It really … more
Cheesified to satisfy 1970 audiences, the film has more flash than substance, even with the ever-bloodshot eyes of Christopher Lee, as he bites virgins and kills betrayers.
Within the past year I have become quite a junkie of Hammer's horror movies. I have known of these films for years, but never really watched any of them, for one reason or another. However, after watching … more
The end of the war is near; The Galactic Republic is in total disarray the Galaxy is being torn in two by the ensuing conflict on every front. In the midst of the Clone Wars Jedi … more
There are a ton of things I could gripe about with Episode III. I'll discuss a few below. But by and large, this is the best of the prequels and, in my eyes, ranks pretty highly as a sci-fi film. … more

The stretch for me from Episode I to Episode II was painful. I really enjoyed Episode I as nice light entertainment and waiting to see what surprises we would see. After Episode II I couldn't … more
In the 1950s, the classic horror monsters of old had been abandoned in favor of the more trendy atomic monsters. Most of these new monsters were giant bugs or lizards, which naturally have no personalities … more
I will provide this review in two parts; the first for the movie and the second for the DVD. First, the movie itself. The first three Star Wars (SW) movies were some of the most … more
Pros: Very operatic and fittingly tragic Cons: Don't bring the younglings - it's too intense for them The Bottom Line: Even if you hated the other five, … more
Pros: Storyline; Outstanding special effects. Cons: Dialog is again below par; Hayden Christensen! The Bottom Line: The film is a little dark, but evil … more
I remember being scarred out of my wits seeing this movie in the theater as a kid. This is Lee in his most convincing Dracula role. One of the first to have the "red eyes" (I think it was added to the … more
Hammer, bless their hearts, manage to take all that is cheesy in the Dracula idiom, concentrate it, and discard everything of any real interest. Bram Stoker's novel is an extremely subtle, complex and … more
