Star Wars – The Han Solo Books

Who was Han Solo before he was dragged into a rebellion against the Galactic Empire?  How did he win the Millennium Falcon?  What happened with Jabba the Hutt?  How did he end up in that bar on Tatooine?  These questions, and much more, are answered in these two series of books that focus on Han Solo’s past as a smuggler, and scoundrel.

Star Wars Week

A scant thirty years ago a young filmmaker set forth to make a movie.  The pop culture landscape and the movie business itself would in many ways never be the same.  His name, George Lucas.  His film, Star Wars.  To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the film, which remains my all-time favorite, the RazorFine Crew is proud to present, along with our regular content, a week-long look at the trilogy and the prequels, the books and the comics, the video games (and that awful Christmas Special), and so much more.  May the force by with you!  (and, if anything goes wrong, remember “It’s not my fault!”)

Shrek the Third

  • Title: Shrek the Third
  • IMDb: link

Well, the good news is the third installment isn’t the complete disaster that many saw coming.  The bad news however is it isn’t nearly as good as Shrek 2.  Still, it has some memorable moments and a few laughs, and should entertain you for most of it’s 93 minute running time.

After King Harold (John Cleese) falls ill and dies, the kingdom falls to Shrek (Mike Meyers) who wants nothing to do with ruling and only wants to take Fiona (Cameron Diaz) back to the swamp and live in peace and quiet, which will be difficult considering Fiona’s got her own baby surprise for our hero.

Georgia Rule movie review

Many times you go into a film with certain expectations and are let down; however, once in awhile you get the reverse.  I had little hope for Georgia Rule which I expected to be nothing more than your average chick flick.  Imagine my shock when I found a surprisingly intelligent film with strong performances from all three of the its leading actresses.

Rachel (Linday Lohan) is driving everyone nuts.  Unable to control her daughter, Lily (Felicity Huffman) ships her off to her grandmother, Georgia (Jane Fonda) in a small Iowa town, hoping some of the sternness, which rubbed her wrong in her own childhood, might work for Rachel.

Her arrival instantly effects the sleepy town and her rebellious nature chafes under the strict control of her grandmother, the animosity of the local girls (Christine Lakin, Chelse Swain, Mandy Medlin), the interest of a young Morman (Garrett Hedlund) and the fatherly advice of an old friend of her mother (Dermot Mulroney).
