STAR WARS EPIC

I simply loved all the parts of star wars and I wish George Lucas made some more parts. The queer part is that the 1st three episodes were made after the last three. I remember watching the last three when I was too little to understand any of the hi-tech stuff they were talking about in the movie.

THE PHANTOM MENACE

Anakan Skywalker is a small cute boy in this first part of the star wars epic. He’s the answer to the prayers of the Republic when their main ship crashes Tatooine. I especially enjoyed the flying competition and the part in which young Anakan is finally able to leave Tatooine to fulfill his dream of becoming a Jedi. A special and delicate relationship develops between him and the Queen of the Naboo (although he is a few years younger than her) but it’s not emphasized on much in this part.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES

Ten years later, Anakan Skywalker is still the apprentice of Obi Wan Kenobi and his first mission alone is to protect Queen Padme Amidala (not a wise decision considering the fact that Anakan is young, impulsive and understandably deeply in love with the Queen). Obi Wan Kenobi is on a mission to discover who is behind the plot of killing the Queen and on the way finds out that the Republic has been preparing a clone army of it’s own. More power shifts into the hands of Senator Palpatine and Yoda senses the power of the Dark Force.

THE REVENGE OF THE SITH

I’d say that this part is the most unpredictable of all the other parts. Anakan Skywalker turns to the Dark Side and the identity of the Sith is revealed. It’s got a tragic ending but old fans of Star Wars (who’ve seen the last 3 parts) won’t feel so sad (coz we know what happens at the end of “The Return of The Jedi”, don’t we?).

A NEW HOPE

We are introduced to the character of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo with his big furry friend. They have their own little adventure together and finally with the help of the rest of the rebels, manage to destroy the Death Star.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK

This part is a little incomplete leaving us with the Young Skywalker discontinuing his training to be a Jedi to rescue his friends, Han Solo captured and sent to Tatooine to be kept under the custody of the Hut and Luke getting to know that Darth Vader is his father and not knowing how to deal with it.

RETURN OF THE JEDI

Sadly the last part of the Star Wars Epic but completely satisfactory - Luke gets to know that Leia is his twin sister, Leia and Han Solo profess their love for each other , Luke succeeds in converting his father, Darth Vader and the Sith is destroyed.
The ending was a little "filmy" but hey, who doesn't like happy endings!

TMNT (the animation)

It reminded me of my younger years when we kids named ourselves after each of the ninja turtles. My Big Bro was Raphael, Big Sis was Donatello, my cousin Bro was Leonardo and I was (predictably) Michelangelo. We had a cousin Sis in our “group” too and she chose April since she thought that the turtles looked hideous and April was beautiful. I was of course grateful since I desperately wanted to be one of the turtles and they would’ve made me April if she wanted to be Michelangelo (being the youngest of the lot limits your choices). The animation is first class and the story line is cool. I simply LOVED it!

YOU'VE GOT MAIL

A very cute chic flick starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. I’d say a lot of people nowadays are actually living their own versions of this movie but sadly not all of it turns out the way it does in the movie though. Tom Hanks’ character (Fox Junior) behaves in a way most guys inexplicably likes to behave in when dealing with the sweet and delicate Kathleen Kelly. I totally feel for her and I can’t help but wonder if he loves her so much why is he acting so stupid in the first place? That’s where one would want to explain his ego problem I guess. Freud would’ve come up with his own list of defense mechanisms used by both of them in the movie from time to time.

JUMPER

I’m in a mood to write about movies and I‘m gonna write away…

I was a little apprehensive and doubtful whether this movie would disappoint me or worse, turn out to be completely predictable but hey, I kinda liked it. Can’t say it was TOTALLY unpredictable but the very concept of “jumpers” made the entire movie fascinating. It’ll leave you thinking what you would do if you were one of them yourselves. And the icing on the cake is that the guy is worth looking at :-).
