STAR WARS-ATTACK OF THE CLONES
with Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Samuel L Jackson and Hayden Christensen
delivers Episode II and is lots better than the Phantom Menace. This is a
space cowboy movie and the action begins as soon as the credits start to roll.
Little Anakin is no longer little, he's a Jedi in training-the hormones are
kicking in and he has to keep them in check as well as obey Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Clones sets up the final chapter to George Lucas' six part saga which debuts
in 2005 and will most likely break all box office records that exist up to
that time. The movie delivers, the dark side surfaces in Anakin-and there are
plenty of fun parts. Yoda kicks butt and the monsters, as always, are out of
this world!

SPIDER MAN
with
Tobey Maguire, Cliff Robertson, James Franco, Willem Dafoe, and Kirsten Dunst
is a great way to spend a couple of hours. Maguire as Peter Parker is the
perfect choice for the high school nerd who pines for the girl next door and
gets bitten by a super spider. He ends up with extraordinary powers-way beyond
the leaping of tall buildings!-and becomes…. Spider-Man. Dafoe as his best
friend's father becomes the Green Goblin and the battle of good and evil is
woven throughout the movie.
Who Should See It?

relationship. Will discovers a single parents meeting, creates a mythical
child to join in and meets a real one-Marcus ….or the real one meets Will and
decides that Will will be part of his life. Grant is at the top of his
form...definitely go see.
