A Galaxy Far, Far Away

Rating:
Summary: Funny flick
Review: This is a pretty funny movie. Definitely the funniest documentary I've seen. I laughed out loud throughout the whole movie. You gotta see it - it's fun to laugh at star wars geeks.

Summary: A great DIY documentary
Review: This is exactly what a punk, DIY documentary should be. A couple guys with a video camera and a great idea decide to make it happen. I saw this film at the Santa Barbara film festival (where it was definitely the talk of the festival). Since their film is about a national phenomena (episode I mania and the people who lined up months in advance to get tickets) they hit the internet and got amateur filmmakers across the country to help them out. Great footage from NYC to Dayton Ohio all donated by amateur filmmakers gets assembled. The filmmakers just step backl and let the fans speak for themselves. Hilarious! But after a while, the film kinda creeps up on you. Underneath all of this hysterical hodge-podgery is a real subtle kinda idea about why these fans seem to have lost all sense of reality when it comes to this movie. Funny, poignant and homegrown. It's a very special and RARE film.

Summary: Check it out
Review: This is not a studio film, but it is a good one. I wasn't expecting the deeper issues that were raised but they were definitely interesting. Check it out for the reaction of the fans coming out of the theater after waiting in line for 42 days for the Phantom Menace.

Summary: I had a good time with this film
Review: This was a little movie that my husband and I really loved. We've been waiting for it to come out on video for some time. We still quote some of the characters to this day. The production value is not the greatest but the content is pretty priceless.
