This flick pretty much speaks for itself. Yeah, it was overloaded with mind numbing digital effects--hell, the whole movie is pretty much a mind numbing digital effect--but who cares, it was Star Wars all the way. To be honest, the entire movie could have sucked, but the single, two minute scene with the "Matrix" style Yoda butt-whoopin' made the entire movie, nay, the entire series of films completely worth it. Not bad for a character who used to be a glorified sock puppet with someone's hand crammed in his rear. Luckily, the entire movie didn't suck to say the least, and George Lucas, in my opinion, has made up for the travesty that was "The Phantom Menace" from which the only good things we got were Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Natalie Portman as Queen...uh, no--Senator...um...oh, you know, that absolutely hot girl who got her form-fitting white outfit all torn up at the end of Episode II. The award goes to Natalie Portman for having the most stunning non-digital effects in the movie, rivaling the tongue-waggling classic "Princess Leia enslaved in a bikini" scene.

The humble beginnings of the future governor...
4 November 1998
If there's anything we all remember from this great entertaining flick, it's Jesse "The Body" Ventura's performance as the "hollowed out chest cavity" military guy. Well, now "he's dug in there like an Alabama tick." It's a fun movie, and be sure to pay special attention to the humble beginnings of Minnesota's new governor.

You gotta love country...
1 November 1998
It took me about three months to learn to love country music, but I wouldn't have done it if it weren't for George Strait. Yeah, so it's not an academy award winner, but it's not supposed to be. George Strait's one of the best country singers of all time, and he belted out some real classics in this one.
Listen, here's a suggestion: if you're a city-dweller who's never been to the country, the REAL country, or who doesn't like country music, DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! The rest of you enjoy.

Hard to Die
(1990)
Brilliant filmmaking and writing...
20 October 1998
The art of motion pictures is young, but in lieu of the fact that this ground breaking film was made so early on, one can only look ahead to a bright future on the silver screen. Really, only three films come to mind: Dr. Zhivago, Casablanca, and Hard to Die.
Perhaps it was the buckets of watered-down blood, the squeak of a naked breast being washed in an arbitrary shower scene, or the powerful screen presence of the acting giant "Orville Ketchum." Whatever it may be, it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me fall in love.
I am proud to say that I own a grainy, low quality copy of this piece of cinematic genius.
