Big budgets, big concepts, big directors, big effects â€” especially that hairy beast who goes ape in King Kong, and we don’t mean Jack Black. Intentionally omitted is the most anticipated film event of the summer, the opening May 20 of Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, in which George Lucas finally brings his multigenerational space opera to a close. The only suspense is whether this prequel goes out with a bang or a bust. […]

Final Report from the Czech Republic!

February 16, 2005 Paul Martin Comments Off
