When Toy Story 3 was first mentioned on TV, one of the very first people to take note of it was my son.

The Death Star from the Star Wars universal was 120 kilometres in diameter. Much of its interior space was devoted to systems required to maintain its massive super laser and power plant. At the heart of the Death Star is a gigantic hyper matter reactor. Within this chamber burned a fusion reaction of prodigious proportions, fed by stellar fuel bottles lining its periphery (Star Wars Databank)

In a galaxy far, far away…
The Star Movie channel over Astro been showing all the movies in the Star Wars trilogy and last Sunday was the screening of Episode IV (Episodes V & VI will be shown in this week and thereafter). This is not the first time I am watching all the 6 movies – I probably have watched Episode IV about 20 times (or more!) and the rest between 10 – 15 times – ya, I am one crazy Star Wars fan. But despite that, it still feels exciting whenever I see on screen a Jedi fights with a light saber or R2D2 arguing with C3PO – the “Force” has made a strong impact on many of us.
The first Star Wars movie (Episode IV) came out in 1977 at the time when I was just 4 years old – too young to understand what the “Force” means.

My advice to those who have not watched this movie yet, drop whatever you are doing now and go and see the movie. Poster source: IMDB.
The story, although nothing new (the story of a son growing up to avenge the death of his parents – you can find plenty of such stories in Tamil & Hindi movies), is beautifully crafted with witty dialogues thrown in.

Last week, my wife and I were at IOI Mall to see the latest Tamil movie “Anniyan” starring Vikram and directed by Shankar (picture source: www.hindu.com).
Frankly speaking, I don’t normally watch Tamil movies in cinemas unless it is a really good movie. I rather spend my good RM18.00 (that’s expensive for some) on some sci-fi movies (like Star Wars or the Matrix).
Anniyan, however, was a good movie, with the underlying message on corruption & bribery and the characters were well played on except for the part where the director decided to use elements from the movie “Matrix” for the fighting scene. That left a bitter taste on my tongue
