PG13           146min           2005

Sixth and final installment by George Lucas. This finds the birth of Darth Vader and the empire. The darkest of the sixth but also the best. Its been said that people over 30 like the original and people under 30 like the newer ones. Whichever ones you like this one continues in the Lucas tradition, bringing to a close, a great saga, in film history. Star Wars by George Lucas will be missed.

4/5 Gs



Should the final three be complete or has Star Wars run its course?

Kris Kristofferson
Dominic Purcell
Jessica Biel
Ryan Reynolds
Paker Posey
Triple H
Callum Keith Rennie
James Remar
Natasha Lyonne

R       112min       2004

Blade: Trinity finds Blade wanted by the FBI as a rogue covenant of vampires awaken the first vampire Dracula, to make the humans the minority race.

It was a disappointment in but it was still an ok action movie. It has some cool action scenes. I found myself liking the vampires more than I like the heroes. Snipes performance was more wooden and hollow than his first two outtings. Ryan Reynolds, Parker Posey and Dominic Purcell stole the show.

I do think that Blade has run its course. The franchise could be reworked if centered around the Nightstalkers. The Nightstalkers give more for characterization and plot delevopment. Overall its a film that complements the other two in the 'Blade Trilogy'.

I give it 3/5 Gs

"Origin of the Species" is story about six college friends, who spent a summer weekend together every year, during this weekend life events are happening to them that makes them realize that its time to grow up.

It's like the 'Real World' taking place over a weekend. This was film with a unknown cast that features Amanda Peet (Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) and Johnathan LaPalia (Seven) fame.

I give it a 2/5 Gs

Diary of a Mad Black Woman

Kimberly Elise
Shemar Moore
Tyler Perry
Steve Harris
Tamara Taylor
Lisa Marcos
Cicely Tyson

PG13       116min       2005

Big screen adapatation of Tyler Perry's play of the same name. Its about a women finding strength in the lord and herself, leading her to find a new love; after her life falls apart from a divorce she didn't see coming. It does showcase some of the premeire African-American talent in Hollywood. If you liked the play you'll love the movie.

I give it a 5/5 Gs



Which of Tyler Perry's plays would you like to see turn into a film?

The Village

Bryce Dallas Howard
Joaquin Phoenix
Adrien Brody
William Hurt
Sigourney Weaver
Brendan Gleeson

PG13      108m       2004

"The Village" has a slow first half, of nearly an hour. If you make it through the first half then the movie just breezes by. From viewing other movies by Shyamalan movies, this one disappointed me. Friends have told me that they thought it was a waste of time. I wouldn't go that far. If you step into their situations you might understand their thinking, its not that bad. "The Village" is an OK movie as a stand alone movie but when balance against other M. Night Shyamalan's works its left a little lean.

I give it a 2/5 Gs



Has society degraded to the point where it makes you want to start a new society? What be the structure of your society?
