Review of the Sith

No doubt you've already seen it, read some other review, or at least heard that its good, well better than the first two prequels.

Well I'm glad to say my expectations built up by the hype were almost completely satisfied. The first twenty minutes had me worried at first, lots of style but very little substance. However, once the story kicks in to the main arc, that of Anakin's transformation into Vader, it had me hooked.

Acting wise, it left a little to be desired, the occassional cheesy line didn't help, but this is only a minor quibble.

Highlights of the film for me was the battle scenes between Darth Sidius and Yoda, and Obi Wan and Grievous. (I was really interested in seeing this character after watching Clone Wars on Cartoon Network). Also, the deep frying of two droids by R2, drew a giggle out of me.

It also dove tails everything fairly nicely into Episode IV, the birth of the twins and their respective upbringings, how the Empire comes into being, and of course how Vader becomes half man, half robot. (Was it just me or did Vader look wimpy and small?)

Anyway, if you haven't been to see it yet, get to a cinema now and watch it, I can pretty much guarantee that if you're a true fan you wont be disappointed.

Facelift

New look for the blog, using Zeldman's Mr Moto template, with a few tweaks.

If you're wondering why this is my only post in almost two months, here's my excuse. The first few weeks my ISP was having all kinds of DNS problems, and my time online was dramatically reduced as basically the web was pretty much unusable.

Following that, it's been design review season for a t-shirt manufacturer I freelance for, and that has basically taken up 99.9% of my life, as it's a major earner that only happens once a year.

So there's a recap of what I've been up to... but what of the big bad world of technology?

Two major pieces of software hit the market during my down time, the new Creative Suite 2 from Adobe, and of course, the mighty Tiger has been unleashed by Apple. Trouble is, I've yet to upgrade to either of these. All good things...

More posts to come in the following weeks. Promise. :D
