Selected Review of the Day: STAR WARS EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005)
We finally come to the final Star Wars movie in the prequel trilogy, Revenge of the Sith. This film by a lot of Star Wars fans, including myself, consider this to probably be the one prequel that is most tolerable, and maybe even close to being actually pretty good. In this installment we see Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), as a still dull but nonetheless more experienced Jedi Knight. But when he gets nightmares of his now wife, Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), dying during the birth of the galaxy's future heroes, the Jedi turns to…
Selected Review of the Day: STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002)
So now that we are through with Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, it is now time to move over to its as hated or more hated sequel, Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. In this film we see that Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is now a young man and Padawan (a weird title referring to a novice Jedi) who is assigned on a mission to protect Senator Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) from an attempted assasination. During this time the two start to fall in love, despite having the relationship making no sense whatsoever and the ab…

Random Reviews of the Day are back! It's been a while! Today's review will be of 2002's Hey Arnold!: The Movie, based on the classic Nickelodeon cartoon, Hey Arnold!

From when I was a kid, even to today, I was a huge Hey Arnold! fa…
RANDOM REVIEW OF THE DAY: Big Fat Liar (2002)
Oh I remember Big Fat Liar. This was like the youth comedy of it's time starring big teen actors at the time. Frankie Muniz from Malcolm in the Middle, Amanda Bynes from Nickelodeon's All That and The Amanda Show, and Paul Giamatti from...wait what is he doing in a tween comedy? Anyways it is unknown what the general adult audience thought of this youth comedy but the tweens and teens seemed to love at the time of its release, and when I was young I did not think it has half bad either. So how does it hold up today....eh-ish. Muniz st…
SELECTED REVIEW OF THE DAY: Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
We finally come to the final installment of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Return of the King. Considered by many to be the best and most epic out of the trilogy we follow Frodo (Elijah Wood), Sam (Sean Astin), and Gollum (Andy Serkis) as things tense between the three as they get nearer and nearer towards Mount Doom. Sam and Gollum form a nasty rivalry as Gollum continues to hatch a plan to get rid of the Hobbits and take the Ring for himself, and in the meantime Frodo is slowly driven to insanity and greed as the Ring starts to corrupt h…
SELECTED REVIEW OF THE DAY: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
Now we come to the second installment of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Two Towers. To be honest, and this is just my personal preference, I think this the less strongest of the trilogy. But it is NOWHERE near terrible, it still comes out as a pretty good film. There are just a few problems I have with it that keep me from fully being in love with it, but the problems are minor now. It starts where Fellowship of the Ring left off, Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) are now on their own as they must venture the rest of their journey t…
