Star Wars: The Clone Wars is still on the air and going quite strong.

As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ Jumanji (1995) This movie was a lot of fun, that's what it came down to for me. I enjoyed where they went with the story, the fact that it was really out there didn't bother me at all, i...

Re: New Joss Whedon show No, I think it's definitely him and it was meant to be obvious.

As usual full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ Fanny Och Alexander (1982) To start, the only real problem I had with Fanny Och Alexander was that it is obvious that it has been edited down from the TV mini-series, because there are moments...

Re: New Joss Whedon show I didn't take that scene like you did. I took it as Sierra acknowledging Echo because of the earlier working out bonding moment while Echo shrugged her off because she is becoming aware of the bigger picture.

Re: New Joss Whedon show Echo is the exception to the rule I do believe, otherwise there's really no point in the show. Having all the dolls be cognizant like Echo would make for a very dull show indeed.

Re: New Joss Whedon show I don't think that's been made clear at all. Especially when tech moron goes on his explanations about the tech and what it does, and not to rag on the show ton but that's another problem so far, the tech seems both incredibly flawed and an absolute failure in how it...

Re: New Joss Whedon show This is something else that has been bugging me and I do think is a major flaw in the show. When in base, or Echo, form, none of the dolls have a personality, therefore they have no will of their own. They have no desire, feelings, hang-ups, etc.. For that reason it...

Re: New Joss Whedon show Hard really doesn't have much to do with it, because I don't need hard science fiction. But, it's a pretty basic concept, not something inherently scientific such as space travel. Tactile experience and memory is required for skills, the idiot linebacker with an IQ of...

Re: New Joss Whedon show It's certainly a possibility, it's still wide open where they are going and what they will do with the "tech".

Re: New Joss Whedon show It's been hit or miss so far, but not terrible or anything, well outside of the idiotic Rayna plot. But, the science fiction behind the premise of the show continues to bug me. A lot of skills are tactile, you can't just imprint someone with them. if you imprint someone...

As usual, full reviews can be found at, Bill's Movie Emporium http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/ Rachel Getting Married (2008) Great film from a film maker I love in Jonathan Demme. The documentary style camera work really added to the realism of the story, but the main factor in how...

The only real complaint I have is that somehow TDK beat out Wall-E for best sound editing and Slumdog beat it out for best sound mixing. Taking out how you feel about the films as a whole, in the sound department Wall-E wasn't just the best film this year, but the most revolutionary movie in...

I've never been scared by any horror movie, don't know why either, that's why i focus more on the suspense that horror can create. Either way, I've watched, Crash (2004) http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/2009/02/18/review-crash-2004/ Oh great and mighty Odin, how much I absolutely...

Uncomfortable in a good way or a bad way?

Even with the map or the compass they weren't going to navigate out of the woods, that was where the malevolent presence came into play. This was highlighted later when they stayed on the same course and still ended up at the same spot they had camped at the night before. No matter what after...

There Will Be Blood (2007) http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/review-there-will-be-blood-2007/ The first two-thirds of TWBB were really tremendous, it's such a shame that the final act went completely off the tracks. Day-Lew was powerful, but I felt he veered too much towards...

Re: New Joss Whedon show I thought the premier was decent, and I can see the groundwork for what could be done, who knows if they will ever take that route though. But, my biggest gripe would be the muay Thai scene, that was the most unrealistic fight scene masquerading as a legitimate sporting...

I have seen more than my fair share of documentaries, and only a few have reached what I would consider a good level. It's a genre I just don't care for across the board, there's no malice on my part, it's just never clocked for me no matter what documentary I've watched, be it Crumb, We Were...

Maybe someday I will, but I'm generally opposed to documentaries as I hate that style of film making and gave up on them years ago. Here's what I've been watching, Per Un Pugno Di Dollari (1964) http://billsmovieemporium.wordpress.com/2009/02/06/review-per-un-pugno-di-dollari-1964/ Dollari is...
