They should have let Dave Filoni direct the prequels
The clone wars era have been cover by books, dark horse comics, even a cartoon series. But now it seem their more to tell, that's whne we're introduce to Anarki padawan. Taking to a whole new direction from real life, to old school animation, cg is the next stop from the Galaxy far far away, a prelude to the upcoming Cartoon network series, here's my force of a review:
Taking place during episode 2 and 3, the republic are losing the clone wars, while more planets join the separatist. The jedi, lose more chanses to win the war. When a group of renegades kidnap the notorious criminal Jabba the Hutt son, the republic are call. So is up to the now Jedi Knight Anarki Skywalker, and he's new Funny, over her head, smart little one padawan Ahsoka Tano, to rescue him, and bring him to tattoine, in return the republic will receive some strategic plans, to take the advantage for the war. But there 're evil force's lurking to prevent it. Will they successfully rescue Jabba child or will they fail? The war is on.
the strong, and charismatic(i m not gay here) Obi won play it right of course, is the same acting he gave in the previous star wars film, only he was voice by James Arnold Taylor. Anarki was funny for the first time(in a more sarcastic way i mean) he's strategic and of course the nanny for he's new apprentice make the movie more fun. The best villain go to asaj Ventress voice by Nika Futherma bring the dark tone on what a evil sith is(hey is the closes villain we gonna get since phantom menaces Darth Maul). But the one that i enjoy the most go to smart antic of Ahsoka voice by Ahsley Drane which bring the same sense humor since the first star wars, and giving Anarki a run for he's money when it come for strategic moves(In other words she play a nice role for pushing the skywalker buttons).Is great to see that Samuel Jackson is the voice of Mance Windo for just one scene, But the same go to great and now a star wars icon Christopher Lee to return he's role as Count Dooku.
The action is the same way, is great they used new camera angles from the first person view to the third, the Jedi duels were fun and great, but there were time that someone was pulling the string, the Action doesn't stop bringing same battle style from the second episode to the 3rd. But what like the most(again,) is on how Ahsoka wield her lightsaber, in a more satoichi kind a way, new to the star war universe, the same go to the secret apprentice of dark vader from the upcoming video game the Force Unleashed, that handle the same way ,but who was first? who cares. Is also nice to see again the double lighsaber from Ventress. Now the climbing action was nice for a film like that, not even stallone could come up since rolling cliffhanger.
The animation style is same style of Genky's first clone series, which was great. Cause it have a very unique and very Ant Bully tone. I also notice that some of the coloring was made with water brushes that something that you don't see much in Cg films. If they have gone more like Advent children way, would made it even better? my answer no. Cause really is time that star wars show some comedy, than their previous Ewoks films. I mean really are they suppose to be funny or what.
So don't expect it to be like another epic star wars film, cause this usually cover the clone wars, and not the evolution of Anarki to Darth Vader. Is demographic is children so is funny, but the action is what make it better, of course there's violence, but hey knowing that today youth are playing violent video games, so is ok.
So if you planing to tell your 3 year old that you saw it, you better dress like Elmo, cause they understand that way. Kids and adult with laugh and excited for the new instalment of this saga. Cannot wait for the series cause is on a great start. Now if only we can convince the Lucas guys to start making a Han Solo film or series, that would complete my life.
Next stop death race.

this is the lethal weapon for stoners
i when to this years comic-con, to see the next upcoming films, games, and of course the comics. But then i notice they gonna have a conferees for a pineapple express, to see judd Apatow, introducing Seth Rogen and the rest of the cast, so they show some footage's, of the film. When suddenly i remember i mention this film as one to watch in the summer, and well i smoke the film:
Dale Denton(Seth Rogen) was your average guy, making life to others by giving legal orders, to many important people, in hes spare time, he go to Saul(James Franco) he's personal pot dealer. Where he introducing to him, the latest shipment of weed, the fine grass of Pineapples Express. that put a new spin of smoking. On he's last delivering, he witnessed a murder , cause him to bump some car, throw he's roach, and head to the one place he ever thought of going, Saul apartment. So now their been hunted, by the same drug dealers, that made the pineapples. Sending them to a wild adventure to going for dinner at Dales girlfriend house, to fighting a man who till waiting for her wife release of prison, to one of the stupidest car chases of all time, ending in one of stoners shootout of all pot movie. And to prove to all that a beautiful friendship is made, even if that buddy, is more higher than you.
James franco is the chong of this century, period. Hes laugh make made him more funnier than anything he ever made. take that chapell, hey let not forget the Danny Glover, the Nich Nolte of Seth Rogen who seriously could have make this film more good than any other cheech and chong sequels. and lets not forget the sensitive hitman of all Graig Robiso guy is ready for he's own show. Then Red(Danny R. Mcbride) this guy gets shot, then beaten but he doesn't die, which make him more enjoyable when getting your head hit by a bong.
The film is a masterpiece, that cannot be compare, to other pot smoking films that came before it. the action is good and funny, especially when ye get your foot stuck in the window, while been chase by the police, that not even bruce willis could make that. Or a tree way fight sequence that ends so bad, that seriously they should have hire someonme more stone then them to make it so real. But the best go to the the franco vs Perez fight, that only apatow film could ever make it, not a van Damme. Hey let not forget the Seth vs Gary cole fight, that really show you that is important always land with your stomach first.
If the cannon film s were in business, they would hire John Woo, giving him some bag of weed. He would make have made this. By seriously this is something that been missing, for any pot film, some good old grass action. Harold kumar have it, but that more adventure, but not the gun fighting or the fork on your back. that make this a instant classic.
So is a great joy, to see a buddy flick done right, with the same cheesy action dialog, with more laughs than any Chevy chase shows. The film accomplished, now is hard to make this the best comedy film of the summer cause there still one, that's waiting to been show. Ben stillers?Tropic thunder. So until then. Smoke them if you got them.

got excitment, adventure but is all dry up.
there all kind of mummy's, from the great ones of Egypt, to the l Aztecs, to the well know Chinese emperor. There been many reincarnation, of this famous monster, from the Hammer films, to the one s that certain Sommer directed. Making it into a franchise. Know the saga continue with a orientation twist, that start two well know martial artist, and a new director. So is it good, or is it another Monkey bone for Brenda Fraser, review it:
In ancient china, a the great emperor Han(Jet Li) conquer the whole region, with he's bass army, taking prisoners that construct the great wall, burying the weak. He was unstoppable, but he couldn't stop Death . So he send he best general, to look for a witch, that could make him immortal, that only him, she should belong. But when the general fell the beauty of the witch, The emperor wasn't please, that on the day, the spell was cast by the witch, the lord had a surprising witness to the disembody of her true love. By doing so the emperor, was curse that made him and he's army , into stone. Now the year is 1946, Rick O Cornnell(Brenda Fraser) is spending he's time fishing, while Evelyn(Maria Bello) try to write her next novel, and their son Alex(Luke Ford), who drop of college, is in China doing what great archeoloic, do best, trying to find the lost temple of the Dragon emperor. While a evil militia, gets news that the Cornnell are coming delivering a special artifact, a trap is set. Sow hen everybody is reunited in the imhotep club own by Evelyn brother Jonathan(John Hannah), a new adventure, with a new mummy await them, taking them to the exotic, and tropical of Shangri la, to the furious beast of the Yetis, to a war against a stone army, with a three headed dragon. Lets go all oriental, get the wrap of Jet Li, cause is Mummy 3.
For me the one actor that had the best line of the film, and have the comedic relief goes to John Hannah, as always the whining, slacker off the brother, as for Brenda always, playing the adventures indiana chest hair, as always, the starnge part go to Milla, cause Rachel Weisz character have so much spunk, that really made us love her, and now she act like bond girl, always giving a hand for any problem. The new addition for Luke Ford, cause if a remember better, in the mummy return he have a British accent, and now he sound like your average james Dean act. I cant say much, from part of the villain cause there nothing to say about he's acting, just he know how to make a high kick, As for Michelle Yeoh was pretty plain, but man she till look beautiful.
The story, fell good, when it came to the father and son relationship, and of course the funny line, the mummy film always have the campy style that made it more enjoyable. But this time arounfrd, they try to make more like Indiana Jones sadic. The action keep going which is fine, is the same formula that most Indy have. But there some moments that seem so long, from the curing of Rick to the everlasting love of Alex and Lin. But there 're some comedic moment that film have.
Ok let face it, always about the FX that make the films watchable, this time around they up the anti. From the creation to the Yetis(be honest here, they seem similar to the Van Helsing Wolfman), to the clay walking, regenerating emperor( that till look the same to Imhotep) . I would have love to see more action to the 3 headed dragon. But the best that take the cake, goes to the epic battle, between the emperor army and the undead good guys, that show so much similarity, from others to 3000 and the lord of the ring.
I was more exciting with the fighting that show so little, i mean is china so they should a least put some kung fu, wire work, from the first clash of Li and Yeoh, cause he show talent when he went head to head with Chan in the forbidding Kingdom. In this one was little, and poor, is like they have a small budget that can make the street fighter film look more low kickier.. The Brenda and Li fight was great, with nice street fighting touch, to little kung fu action the film should have promise more high flying, not like matrix type, but more seven sword action.
To finish the 3 installment, ain't perfect like the previous ones, but follow the same entertainment, just coming short, but i tell ya this one, will make some bank. I only wish they would have play more with the power of the emperor.
