Star Wars : The Clone Wars

The first thing that strikes me about this is the awful rendition of humans. The aliens and clone troopers look alright. When it comes to human faces, it looks like a PSOne redux. The story, however, is a lot more interesting than the actual prequel movies, about saving Jabba's son. The action sequences also have more punch. Which is why I think if Lucas got other people to direct the prequels, it would have turned out better. Looking forward to the Cartoon Network series and I hope they collect them all on DVD, as I don't subscribe to that channel on satellite.

National Lampoon's Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell

Interesting take on post-apocalyptic America. Somewhat a homage to Camelot as well, as the lead hero is a Kennedy. The jokes are mostly original, usually based on violence, even if they follow the same lines as the Black Knight sequence in Monty Python's Holy Grail. Throw in a beautiful cannibal and Satanic Spring Break cult and you have the makings of a somewhat classic alt comedy showcase. The low budget is complemented by animated sequences when the money don't allow for special effects. Kennedy's 2 robot Secret Service agents are funny. Fail to see the charisma of Benny Remington - the new King of America, though. Can't wait for part 2.

GP506

Somewhat disappointed that this is not straight horror. An opaque opera of the military, the interplay between the soldiers is the frontispiece, and the disfiguring virus making them violent takes a backseat. As a military drama, the tension is unbelievable. The twist in the middle is well-executed. A Korean movie BTW and one of the better ones. Nihilistic, though.
