Nothing to report My life is boring. I have seen some movies though (some willingly, some not so willingly), so here are my thoughts in case you are going to see them.
Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith: Simply saying it's better than Episodes I and II isn't really saying anything. It's actually not bad. A tad melodramatic in parts (the scenes between Padme and Anakin are kinda lame), but action scenes are pretty good. Yoda kicks ass, as usual. It's weird watching a movie where you kinda already know the end and it's more about the journey to a known conclusion.
Crash: Good. Disturbing. You'll laugh in parts, but uncomfortably. Doesn't really provide any answers or a nicely wrapped-up conclusion.
Kingdom of Heaven: It's like Gladiator set in the Crusades and with Orlando Bloom. His acting has improved a lot, even though he isn't really "good." Predictable in parts, not so predictable in others. The "King of Jerusalem" has a weird lisp thing going on...but I guess that's what happens when your faced is all f*ed up and you have to wear a mask all the time. The chick in it is annoying; I think she needs some Prozac or Zoloft or something. And there's a lot of preachy stuff about the "why can't we all get along" stuff what with the Christian/Muslim conflict mirroring -- dum, dum, dum! -- today's instability in the Middle East. Yeah, Ridley, we get it. Oh, and we learn very important lessons about waging war in the desert, such as "people need water." As Van Wilder would say, "Write that down."
That's about it.
