Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
What a steaming load
one of the most over-hyped movies I've ever had the mis-fortune to see. I hated the first two prequels and had very low expectations going into this film. Seeing reviews that said it was the best of the series next to Empire got my hopes up a little higher but they were quickly dashed in the opening sequence. Once again Lucas is just way too pleased with his ability to create digital effects and has decided that good dialogue, actor chemistry, appropriate casting, plausible story lines, and good acting are unnecessary. There's no point in going into great detail as there wasn't much I found enjoyable about this film. As far as action scenes and light-saber dueling, both the prequels topped this one in my opinion. After watching RotS I'm just reminded of how badly Lucas missed the mark on these endeavors, and what a terrific opportunity was wasted. It's not often a director has so much free reign to do whatever he wants and spend what ever it takes. The only solace I take is that I won't have to sit through yet another bastardization of a story I once truly loved, and I only hope that I will one day be able to watch the original trilogy without thinking about what a steaming load the prequels were.
American Beer (2004)
I liked it
Once every few years a film comes along that makes you stand up and say "I wanna beer". Barfly, Leaving Las Vegas, Affliction and in 2004 that film is American Beer. Okay, maybe those other films were poor examples but rest assured it's still a good. Four men go on search of the meaning of life through craft beer in America. I know it says five men, but don't believe the hype. Just watching the movie I felt drunk. On the serious tip, the soundtrack is great and the movie is extremely informative. While the plot revolves around the journey the three young people and their two companions are on, the real star of the film is the beer. A good watch for those who love beer, want to know more about beer, or just like watching guys get drunk.
