Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Best Emperor Stuff Ever
In addition to the six Star Wars films being about the life of Darth Vader, it's also the tale of how Palpatine gain and then instantly lost his great power. You may hate the Ewoks, but most of the Emperor's lines from Jedi are classic. It's ashamed that 'Hollywood' hates George Lucas so much, because Palpatine should have won a best supporting actor Oscar for Episode III. The story he tells Anakin of his former master is outstanding. I think the line, "Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueous the Wise?" is my favorite part of the whole film. Of course the battle between Anakin and Kenobi at Musafar is amazing and "My little green friend" kicks some butt as well, but the acting of Palpatine. That's the crown jewel for me. When he says "Do it" or "Leave us", he commands the power of the 'voice' from Dune. When he grins, it's so perfectly evil yet charming. The way he plays weak and then still has "Unlimited Power" left in his tank. His light-saber technique is cool as well. All and all, this has got to be the best Emperor stuff ever. Don't you agree?
Time and Tide (2006)
European feel with American humor
Great acting, well directed, and a beautifully shot film this is. A bit of hope in an ever confusing modern world. A perfect balance between art, characters and story. The type of film Hollywood will never make, but the type of film making that should never die. Touching, thought provoking and real. A true slice of life. Keep an eye on the lead actor who plays Rob. That guy is going to be a star. An everyman, most of us can relate to as he navigates the Los Angeles dating scene with common sense in the midst of the 'loopy' for lack of a better word. Five beautiful actress to boot. Each plays a truly believable character. What more could you want?
