Friends with Benefits (2011)

Wish it had lasted longer..

[21 September 2011]

I remember being incredibly disappointed when I found out that this show was to be a "Summer Burn-Off" and that it wouldn't last more than thirteen episodes. The reason I was disappointed was because I really enjoyed watching this show. I felt like the humor was very similar to that of "Scrubs" and even "How I Met Your Mother" in that the writing was corny and oftentimes unrealistic, but the characters were solid and so were the actors who played them. I'm upset that I'll never know what the fates of the characters would have been, as it was cancelled after twelve episodes. I would definitely lobby for them to open production back up and for them to give it another try. Unfortunately that's not how the business works. Hope to see great things from all the actors involved in the future.

Pastime (1990)

Solid Performances and Great Moments Make Up for an Otherwise Depressing Storyline

[16 September 2011]

This movie was recently added to InstantWatch on Netflix, and because I'm a sucker for any movies having to do with baseball, I decided to watch it. Because the trailer was only about a minute long, I didn't quite know what to expect. What it turned out to be was an incredibly depressing tale of a washed-up minor league relief pitcher who finds himself mentoring a rookie in the post-war era of America.

Roy Dean Bream (Russ) has been in the game for a long time, and aside from one day in the Big Leagues, has spent his career bouncing around in the Minors. He has no close friends and knows in his heart that this days in baseball are numbered. Enter a rookie pitcher, Tyrone Debray (Plummer), who finds himself being mentored by the older pitcher. Instantly, the two form an incredible bond, and the older pitcher feels as if life may be worth living. Unfortunately for Roy Dean, the team's GM (played by Emmy Nominee Jeffrey Tambor) has it in for the veteran and seeks to release him from the one thing that he truly loves: being a ballplayer.

The acting is pretty solid by all, though Russ is definitely the star of the show. It is the good acting, as well as some great moments (including a scene toward the end with Russ pitching to the backstop in the empty stadium) that make up for the fact that it is just downright depressing at times. The very end of the movie, in my opinion, does no justice to the rest of it and that's the unfortunate part. Either way, I'd still probably recommend it to anyone who loves the greatest game on God's Green Earth.

The '60s (1999)

A Realistic Depiction

[1 June 2010]

So there's a lower middle-class family in Chicago who live a very conservative existence. Well, what happens when their oldest son goes to Vietnam, their youngest son becomes a civil rights activist, and their daughter gets knocked up? The '60s happen, and this mini-series shows the family's trials and tribulations during a truly extraordinary decade.

What I loved about "The '60s" is that the story is not unlike the normal stories that one would hear about families from back then. The 1960s were a confusing time, with people taking sides and going against everything they were ever raised to believe. The individual stories of the characters keep the big picture interesting. I couldn't wait to see Part 2 when Part 1 ended.

Great acting performances by all, especially Jerry O'Connell for his depiction of a Vietnam Veteran who goes in a patriot and comes out a basket-case.

I recommend "The '60s" to anyone who wants to see a realistic depiction of one of the greatest eras in United States History. You definitely won't be disappointed.

The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training (1977)

Forget Buttermaker; Breaking Training is better than the first!!!

[20 February 2008]

The first movie was great, and I can't say it wasn't, but I believe that the second one was much better. Sure, Buttermaker and Amanda were great characters, and I was sure the movie would be terrible without them, but I was completely wrong.

The main plot: The Bears are invited to play a game at the Houston Astrodome against the Texas Little League champs: The Toros. Unfortunately, the Bears are left coach-less when their new coach quits before practice even begins! Desperate for a coach, returning all-star player Kelly Leak seeks out his estranged father, Mike. Mike agrees to coach and leads the Bears to victory, regaining his relationship with his son in the process.

This movie is many things: It's a guy-movie, it's a baseball movie, it's a father-son movie. If you look for all of these plots in a movie you'll find it extremely entertaining.

School for Scoundrels (2006)

Hilarious Romantic Comedy about a Man chasing the Girl of his Dreams

[11 September 2007]

Roger (Jon Heder, Napoleon Dynamite), a "geek" with little self-confidence, is desperately in love with Amanda (Jacinda Barrett, Ladder 49), a British grad-student who lives in his apartment building. To overcome his lack of self-esteem, he signs up for a course taught by Dr. P (Billy-Bob Thornton, Friday Night Lights), an aggressive macho-man. After Roger finally develops a sense of personal pride, Dr. P begins pursuing Amanda as well.

I saw this movie on a date a little less than a year ago. It was a feel-good comedy, and it was all about the "average man", and the movie has the strong message that any man can get any woman (similar to Hitch). Jon Heder was hysterical in this, as was Thornton. I laughed so hard during this movie, and continued to root for Roger until the very end.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

Best of the Series by Far

[20 July 2007]

I went early in the morning on a weekday to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, in order to avoid big crowds. After I saw it, I kinda wished I could've been in a big crowd, because big crowds usually applaud after movies. I really wanted to applaud after this film, because it was just so incredible.

I only read the first few chapters in the book, but my brother had told me everything that happens in it. The movie was so well-made that I was on the edge of my seat, even knowing all that happened was going to happen.

I was especially excited during the scenes where Harry is training "Dumbledore's Army". The scenes very well-scripted and to the point.

The most exciting scene in the movie is the battle between "Dumbledore's Army" and "Voldemort's Army". The battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort was thrilling too, and both battles displayed a triumph of good versus evil, and that good always ultimately wins.

The screenplay and directing alike were spectacular in this film. The acting was great too, and is really displaying how much Harry, Ron, and Hermoine have grown up since "The Sorceror's Stone".

This is by far the best film in the entire series.

The Bronx Is Burning (2007)

Not bad; Looking forward to future episodes...

[14 July 2007]

"The Bronx is Burning" is a show on ESPN that deals with the 1977 New York Yankees and the relationship between the players, manager Billy Martin, and owner George Steinbrenner. It also focuses on the events going on in New York City during this time period, most notably the NYPD's pursuit of David Berkowitz, the "Son of Sam".

I enjoyed the first episode from start to finish. The acting is good and convincing (Daniel Sunjata looks exactly like Reggie Jackson). The show is historically accurate, from Billy Martin's womanizing to Reggie Jackson's attitude toward his teammates.

I am looking forward to the rest of the episodes, and I predict they will get better as they move forward.

I give it a 7/10. I enjoyed the first episode, but I think that it could've been much better, and it will be much better as the show progresses.

A Good Year (2006)

Fantastic and Relaxing...

[4 July 2007]

So Max Skinner (Crowe) is this hard-ass, tensed up investment broker with a bunch of money. In his past, he spent a lot of time with his favorite uncle Henry (Finney). Uncle Henry has died, and in his will (which hasn't been updated in a number of years) leaves Max with his uncle's vineyard in beautiful Provence. Max immediately decides to sell the old place, and decides to renovate it. Along the way, he finds that the wine, women, and laid back lifestyle is all that he could've ever wanted.

This movie got so many negative reviews, so I wasn't sure I wanted to watch it when my mom rented it, but it was very well made, and very relaxing. It was my idea of a real feel-good movie.

Russell Crowe was phenomenal in his portrayal of Max, and he had great romantic chemistry with Fanny Chenal (played by the beautiful French actress Marion Cotillard).

Some said it was predictable and cliché how everything comes out in the end, but I like that in a movie. If you like a good love story that will relax you on a stressful day, this is a great film for you.

Elephant (2003)

There are much better school-shooting films...

[29 June 2007]

I could barely sit and watch this. There are some parts that are so confusing that they are hard to follow. The first part, for example, repeated a lot of stuff, and I guess they probably did this to show point-of-view or something, but it was very confusing.

I also didn't like the whole "gay" thing in it. I don't mind gay people at all, but it didn't seem needed. Maybe the director felt it had to be there. In my opinion, they didn't have to put it in there, but that's just me.

The shooting scene was well done. It was well-directed and it seemed very realistic to me. Now, in most school-shooting movies, the perpetrators kill themselves, however, this did not happen in Elephant.

Only one shooter dies in the movie, but he doesn't kill himself.

The other shooter's side of the story is never truly ended, for the movie ends as he's about to shoot two people, but it is never revealed whether or not he shot either of them at all, and I did not like that aspect of the movie. I like stories to get resolved, and I like stories to end somehow. This one disappointed me at the end because you don't know what ends up happening.

All in all, I think that this was not a great movie, and I think that if you want to see a good school-shooting movie, you need to see "Zero Day".

Cory in the House (2007–2008)

Entertaining, but extremely unrealistic.

[17 June 2007]

I give this a 7 out of 10 because I find it less than average, but it's not a bad concept.

I really liked "That's So Raven". Cory was hilarious on that, but I didn't like how they only brought Cory and Victor onto to show. I know Raven was not needed in the story, but they basically mentioned the mom once and never mentioned her again. I don't know what the story is with that. Cory and Victor are funny on their own, don't get me wrong, but Victor and Tanya, on "That's So Raven", played the role of the goofy parents, and I really liked them together.

The other thing I didn't like about this show is that, in the white house, there is no first lady. Now, the President and his daughter are really funny. I like their characters, but it just seems strange that America would elect a "single parent" as their president. I think the daughter is really a cute little girl, and it's funny how bratty she is, but she doesn't have a mother. I think that a First Lady would've added to the humor.

Nothing else negative to say. I really like the friends on the show (Newt is hilarious, Meena is really pretty and it's funny how Cory likes her and all that.

I like this show, but if it were just a little different, I'm sure it would've gotten at least an 8, but it's down two points because of the lack of Cory's mom, and the lack of a First Lady.

Zero Day (2002)

Excellent. Really Makes you Think...

[23 April 2007]

THIS MOVIE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR VIEWERS UNDER 13 YEARS OF AGE.

A lot of people see this title and think: Oh yeah, another movie based on the Columbine attacks. This film is so much more than that.

Yes, it runs along the same road that the Columbine shooters took.

However, this movie is not about the shooting itself; it's about the ten or eleven months of planning that Andre and Cal (the perpetrators) did.

The thing I liked about this film was that most of it was done with a cam-corder, and it really seemed like home videos (a lot of the segments were based off the infamous Basement Tapes). The one part that wasn't done with a cam-corder was the scene of the shooting.

One warning I have for you is that the movie will get inside your head, especially the shooting scene. For ten minutes, you watch Andre and Cal running around and shooting people, and laughing in the survivors faces (once telling a guy he'll survive, and then they shoot him up) These scenes are all viewed via "Surveillance Cameras", and that added to the effect. This scene is a lot to take, and a lot to handle. It's very violent and graphic, and if you can't handle those types of movies, this is not the film for you.

Like the guys from Columbine High School, Cal and Andre kill themselves, but the movie isn't all about that, it's about what happened before, and the planning that went on. It gets inside the head of the perpetrators and really makes you think about it. Andre and Cal seem like such normal kids in the scenes involving parents and relatives, and it shows how blind we can be sometimes.

It truly is the "One Great Columbine Film".

Odd Girl Out (2005 TV Movie)

Not bad for a Made-for-TV Movie...

[12 March 2007]

On a scale of 1-10, I give this movie a 7. I can't say I enjoyed the film, because this is not a film that you "enjoy". You DO like the movie, but there are times in the movie that make you feel disturbed, depressed, and even nauseous, because of some of the things that Vanessa (Alexa Vega's character) had to go through.

I've always liked Alexa Vega (notice how I said "like" and not "love"), especially from the Spy Kids films. I saw her in Sleepover, which wasn't all that good, though I didn't expect anything better.

Alexa put on a pretty good performance. The thing I like to look for in a movie with high profile actors/actresses (such as Alexa Vega in this one) is that I hope that I can believe they are their characters, and not just themselves playing the characters, if that makes sense.

Her performance as Vanessa was solid, believable, and (I'm sure for some people, myself not included) tear-rendering. I'm a guy, but I know a lot of girls that would cry during this movie.

The rest of the cast did a pretty good job too. Leah Pipes seemed like the typical popular girl. Like many popular girls at my school, she talked a lot of trash, yet didn't really mean what she said. In the end, she was the one left alone, and you DON'T feel sorry for her.

The biggest surprise for me was the rock-solid performance by Alicia Morton as snooty, wannabe Tiffany. The last time I saw Alicia in anything was several years ago in the Disney remake of Annie, which she wasn't bad at, but I didn't really think about her having been Annie as much as I thought I would. She, like Stacey (Leah Pipes) was very much like the preppy, popular girls at my school.

Though she put on an okay performance, Elizabeth Rice, who played Nikki, Stacey's best friend and Vanessa's former friend, stood out the least. Though her acting was convincing, I didn't really think of her character as much when it came to the "mean girls" in the movie.

Before I saw this film, my brothers, who had seen it before and didn't especially like it, told me it was like Mean Girls, though more dramatic. If you're looking for a movie like Mean Girls, this is NOT the movie to see. It is NOT funny, for one thing, and it has a very different storyline.

If you think you will enjoy the film, you are wrong. You WILL ,like it though. Anybody who has been to high school can relate, whether you are a guy or girl.

The Holiday (2006)

A True Feel-Good Comedy...

[11 March 2007]

Jack Black, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz and Jude Law star in this brilliant comedy about true love and how you can find it in the simplest of places.

Here's the basics:Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet are both troubled with guy problems. Diaz lives in LA, and Winslet in England. The two meet in an online chat room and talk about "home exchange", living in each other's homes, driving one another's' cars, for two weeks.

As you guessed, they each meet a man while on vacation.

I wasn't expecting anything much when I saw this movie. I mainly went to see it because I wanted to see if Jack Black could pull off a "regular nice guy" type part, and, in my opinion, Jack stole the show. This is Mr. Black's best performance that I've ever seen him do, just ahead of School of Rock.

Jude Law was funny and charming, and had good chemistry with Diaz.

Cameron Diaz pulled it off as a workaholic, single women just looking for some fun. She wasn't bad to look at either.

Kate Winslet was fantastic as well, and had the second-best performance, under Jack Black, whom she had incredible chemistry with.

The supporting cast included a pretty great performance by Eli Wallach, as a former screenwriter who gets to know Kate Winslet's and Jack Black's characters very well.

The entire cast put on a believable performance, and fit into their characters very nicely.

I enjoyed this movie very much, and I think you will too. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone that I know.

The Sandlot 2 (2005 Video)

Looking to kill some time, this is the movie to see.

[28 January 2007]

First off, I want to say that I saw the original Sandlot when I was five or six. I'm 14 now, and I still love it. When I hear it's going to be on TV, I get my TiVo ready and watch it.

I wouldn't say this was a horrible movie. Most people didn't feel like giving it a chance, but I was bored one day when it was on ABC Family, so I watched it and gave it a chance.

The acting isn't extremely good and the storyline is extremely predictable, but the story was good enough to keep me interested until the end.

It had some good lines and some likable characters, and it brought me back to my sixth grade days somehow. Sixth grade was a time of innocence, back when you would go to your friends' houses and say: "Can you come out and play?", which is what this movie demonstrated to me.

David Durango (Max Lloyd-Jones) and Hayley Goodfairer (Samantha Burton) were the best out of the young actors in this film. The characters were believable, though the kiss at the end was definitely expected, however, it was needed to close the tension between the two of them. I wouldn't say they had extremely great chemistry, but what do you expect--it's a kid's movie.

In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend this movie if you are looking for the same type of magic that the first Sandlot gave us, but if you are looking to kill 97 minutes of your free time, I'd see it.

Brian's Song (1971 TV Movie)

The Best Made-for-TV Movie Ever Made...

[13 October 2006]

When it comes to TV movies, there's no movie that comes close to Brian's Song. In my opinion, they should have released it in theaters, it probably would've won Best Picture.

Brian's Song portrays the friendship between Brian Piccolo and Gayle Sayers, two teammates that fought for the same job. Unfortunately, their lives are challenged when Brian is diagnosed with cancer.

There are so many parts in this movie that will make the biggest baddest, toughest guy break down and start falling apart. Most of these parts involve both Sayers and Piccolo, for their bond is so great that they are more than friends, they are brothers.

Caan and Williams portray Piccolo and Sayers perfectly; they even resemble them too.

I think that everyone should see this movie (and even see the 2001 remake, though it's not as good as this one).

There will never be another song like Brian's, but perhaps the lesson taught in the film is that we should always try to be more like Brian Piccolo, by living every day to it's fullest and loving life, because it can be very short.

Aquamarine (2006)

Um, bad can't even describe it...

[24 July 2006]

Well, I can say a couple positives: Sarah Paxton was hot. Her acting was terrible, but she was hot, more or less.

JoJo attempted to make some good jokes, and she was way better in RV, her jokes were "would-be-funny", and her character belonged to a club where Rosie O'Donnel and Ellen DeGeneres are VIP Members (No offense to Ellen, I think she's funny).

Emma Roberts didn't make hardly any jokes, and that was a mistake. She is really funny on "Unfabulous", and she deserved the jokes, not JoJo, and ESPECIALLY not Sarah Paxton, who hardly makes a convincing mermaid.

My only feedback is that it was nearly two hours that I could've been sleeping and that I'll never get back.

2/10

Click (2006)

Mr. Sandler, if you're reading this - I'll See You at the next Golden Globes!!!

[10 July 2006]

First, let me state the negatives: It wasn't long enough!!! That's my only negative. Here's why: Adam Sandler has done it again in this summer box-office hit.

Sandler, since he did 50 First Dates, has continued to surprise me by taking more serious, dramatic roles. His acting was phenomenal.

Mr. Sandler, I'm expecting to see you with a Golden Globe in your hands this year. Good luck to you.

Next- Kate Beckinsale plays his wife, naturally beautiful, her acting was superb as well, making her a great mother-model, next to Sandler, a great father-figure.

Supporting Cast- David Hasselhoff, as always, takes on the role of a jerk who causes many conflicts, and boy does he play it well.

I'm always used to seeing Christopher Walken play a character so weird, it will keep you up at nights. His character as Morty (the distributer of the remote) is the weirdest of all. There's a big twist with Morty, and I'll leave it up to you to see it for yourself.

Now, I will tell you that this is NOT the movie you're seeing previews for. The movie you're seeing previews for seems like one of Adam Sandler's normal slap-stick, stupid humor films. This is a role that Sandler has taken on that proves he is more than that, he is beyond that, and, maybe there's still a few more good, stupid movies left in him, but Click shows it's viewers that Sandler, not only has proved himself as a serious actor, but it also shows nearly 20 years of hard work, and definitely over 20 more years to come.

Thank you, Adam, thank you, Kate, and thank you to Frank Coraci and Happy Madison Productions for making such a brilliant movie.

**Warning: You WILL cry during this movie. It's not a matter of being an emotional person or not, it is a guarantee that you WILL CRY YOUR EYES OUT!!!!! That is all I have to say. Enjoy the movie.

American Dreamz (2006)

By Far the WORST Satire I've Ever Seen...

[28 June 2006]

I'll give it to you with a straight answer: THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!! I saw the previews for this movie about three or four months before it came out, so even the funny jokes got tiring after seeing them 100 times. If there WERE any funny parts, they were shown in the preview, just like certain other box office flops that I can't think of right now.

Here's the basic storyline: Hugh Grant plays Martin Tweed, the popular host of "American Dreamz".(basically the same concept as American Idol and Fame) To raise ratings, he decides to put an Arab and a Jew on the show and do what he can to make the final round.

Another contestant is Sally Kendoo (Mandy Moore), a trailer-trash bitch with a great voice. After being picked for the show, she dumps her boyfriend. Then her boyfriend joins the Army to prove a point to her (what that point is, I have no clue). He returns home wounded, she takes him back, but ONLY to win the hearts of the viewers.

Meanwhile, Martin Tweed has fallen madly in love with Sally Kendoo as she makes the final round against the Arab.

Here's another twist: The President of the United States (Dennis Quaid) is to be a guest host for the season finale. The Arab dude has devised a plan to blow up the President and himself after they meet.

So, who wants to go out and see this now that you've heard some things about it? I sure don't. It's about 2 hours that I could've spent seeing "Thank You for Smoking" or "Inside Man". Instead, I had to sit through this god-awful, would-be-funny parody.

In short, whoever wrote this movie was more stoned than the guy who wrote From Justin to Kelly.

Catwoman (2004)

I Can't Believe They would do this...

[27 June 2006]

I am an extremely huge fan of the bat-films as well as the comic books and the original Adam West TV series. This is NOT the story of Catwoman, hell, she didn't even HAVE a story!!! The only story is that on the TV Show she had different disguises to fool Batman and make it easier to defeat him, which they never did. Not to mention, she is an extremely evil human being, yet, the writers of this decided to make her a good person and all that. Even in Batman Returns, she was a nice person turned menace, and this movie didn't quite show her bad side, unless she was robbing a bank or something.

In other words, this movie SUCKED!!!

Surviving Christmas (2004)

It really is a good movie...

[15 June 2006]

I don't understand why so many people put this movie down. I enjoyed this movie very much when I saw it (a long plane ride from Phoenix to NYC).

I felt the storyline of the film was cliché, but totally makes room for a bunch of great plot twists.

Ben Afleck plays Drew, a jackass of a millionaire who gets dumped a week before Christmas. Destined to be alone for the holidays, he returns to the house he grew up in, paying the family that now lives there 200,000 dollars to "recapture" some of his childhood memories.

This movie has an all-star cast including James Gandolfini as Tom, the owner of the house. His wife, Christine, is played by Catherine O'Hara.

The love-interest, which will spark no surprise, is Christina Applegate who plays Alicia, Tom and Christine's daughter. The two have good chemistry and they fit well together.

As for the end result, you'll have to see that for yourself, so be sure to rent Surviving Christmas. You won't regret it.

Net Worth (1995 TV Movie)

Net Worth Explains All...

[23 December 2005]

I must say, for a TV movie, and even for a movie at all, this is a great movie. It talks of Ted Lindsay's failed attempt to form an association in the 1956-57 season.

Set in the 1950s, Net Worth is a dramatic interpretation of events involved in the National Hockey League.

The fact that I personally know Ted Lindsay is considered a plus for me and this movie. I watch it and realize that this did happen, for I talked to Mr. Lindsay about it years ago when I first viewed it.

With a talented, yet unknown, cast, the movie gives you a feeling of history and past, present, and future as you watch the drama take place.

Nobody knows what would've happened had the association worked, nor does anyone know why the Wings didn't win the Stanley Cup until 4 decades later (1997).

I leave you with this thought: See this movie and you'll know why hockey is the way it is today.

The Brothers Grimm (2005)

Worst Film in Years

[29 October 2005]

If you have not seen this movie, you are definitely not missing out AT ALL!!! I had originally seen this movie the night before I was to go with some buddies of mine to Disneyland for the weekend. Since the bus didn't leave until 11:00, we decided to see this because we needed something to do. Also, we had all thought it looked good. What we also thought was that it was actually about the Grimm Brothers and not some BS about the fairy tales they wrote and about the characters (such as Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel) being real and getting kidnapped and dying.

But the worst part was where this one little girl's face comes off while she's playing in this well. The face runs away and plants itself on some concrete and turns into the gingerbread man! Don't ask me where these writers get this stuff because I have no idea! In short, this movie was terrible.

The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)

A Classic Golf Movie

[22 October 2005]

I have to say that this is a truly excellent movie. It exceeds all of my expectations as a movie watcher, especially since this is a Disney movie! Shia LaBeouf really captured the character that is Francis Ouimet. He was able to play the part so well, he actually had me thinking that he was truly Ouimet.

Not only was LaBeouf good in this, but his costar Josh Flitter (who played Eddie) was a brilliant young actor. He definitely added something to the movie. The comic relief that Flitter provided was essential to the movie's success.

It is no surprise that this movie has made so much money.

The Longest Yard (2005)

Adam Sandler + Chris Rock + Burt Reynolds = Comedy at its Best

[4 June 2005]

If you haven't already, see this movie! It has comedy, drama, sports, what more can you ask for? It starts out as this ex-football player (Sandler), who purposely lost his biggest career game, gets busted for drunk-driving. He is then sent to a prison where he gets a chance to play football again--AGAINST THE GUARDS!!! With the help of an inmate (Rock) and a former Heisman Trophy Winner (Reynolds), he puts together a team that, in the end, puts the guards in the Hall of SHAME!

And we can't forget the direction by Peter Segal. Him and Sandler work great together!

So, if you haven't already, see this movie.

If you saw it and liked it, see it again. It only gets funnier!

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)

Excellent!

[20 May 2005]

I absolutely loved this movie! The fight scenes were great, the storyline was good, it was funny, and it was just plain cool, especially close to the end, when Vader is getting suited. I knew this movie was gonna be good but it passed my expectations by a ton.

The best part (spoiler included) was at the end when Obi-Wan and Anikan have their epic battle. It was suspenseful and thrilling. When Obi-Wan said "YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!", I almost shed a tear (i didn't cry). The powerfulness of the scene was what made it so good.

To sum it all up, if you were a big fan of the originals and/or you haven't seen this, you need to. You won't regret it.
