Batman Begins

Need I say more? Who else is getting emotionally pumped to watch this movie-that-will-bring-back-the-franchise?

Goodfellas (made in 1990 - first viewed by me in 2005, fifteen years later)

Finally saw Goodfellas at 4AM last nite - my friend's on demand service rocks. Not sure why the movie's called Goodfellas - seemed like it should've been called 'wiseguys' or 'shadydealers' or something like that. It's an awesome movie, and a must see gangster film. I don't have much to say about it other than the fact that there are some pretty grotesquely violent scenes and I was surprised that robert dinero played such a low key character in the movie.

Final Tap - Lorraine Bracco (ray liota's wife, Karen, in the movie) and Michael Imperioli (very brief role...) grow up in real life to have large roles in one of my favorite HBO series, the Sopranos. Lastly, throughout the film I couldn't help but smirk every time the dialogue reminded me of the Goodfeathers sketch from the Animaniacs (viz. joe pesci asks, "what do you mean I'm funny?")

Star Wars Episode III - ROTS

I saw Star Wars Episode Three opening day, May 19, 2005. Revenge of the Sith is an awesome movie with intense action scenes and cliched character development dialogue. I'm an unconditional lover of all things star wars and dressed up in the Darth Vader voice changer mask when I attended the movie with my family that Thursday. Nothing else to the get up though - target and walmart had run out of the scrumtrellescient Darth light saber with battle action sounds and my mom forgot to bring my black graduation gown; someday I will buy a deluxe collector's outfit.

The movie left me dying to see 4-6 again, but unfortunately I don't have any of the movies on DVD - I vowed many years ago to wait for the ultimate box set to arrive on shelves before I invested any money in actually buying the movies.

Lastly, I watched volume one of the animated clone wars series. It appears to offer a different angle on the interim saga from the Dark Horse comics; skimpy on dialogue, and somewhat frivolous - but the battle scenes are awesome and any franchise element that helps develop Ki Adi Mundi (if even in the slightest way) is fine by me.

I hear Lucas made a general comment on a series focusing on the early years of the old republic - I think it would be incredible to learn more about that idyllic time when the wonderful 800-generaian we all love, Yoda, kicked some serious dark side butt.
