  • Murder By Numbers left a bad taste in my mouth, but Episode II washed it out...

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>I didn't expect much-slash-anything from Murder By Numbers so I really wasn't surprised to see it choke on a 12 inch donkey schlong, but even the twist at the end was predictable and too boring to even call contrived. I'd be reluctant to even call it a twist, but it was obvious from the get-go that they were going to throw one in (since ridiculous plot-twists have become a prerequisite of crappy movies lately).

As for Episode II, it fucking rocked. I don't really have much of anything new to add, but everyone else has thrown in their two cents so I figured I would too. I think it was the best Star Wars film so far (including Episodes 4-6) - though I understand the bias of people who have been in love with the original trilogy since childhood.

I also like how 90% of the movie looked as if it were designed to be a video game.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I can't believe it, but one of 4 digital theatres in all of Canada is here in Waterloo. Considering we only have 300,000 people in the entire REGION, it's surprising. I didn't get it see it on digital the first time, but I will next time</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Saw it again in a regular theater last night, and the difference is very noticable. Didn't notice any extra or deleted scenes, though.</div>
