Today I finally got to go see the new Star Wars movie... And I have to say... Wow! Revenge of the Sith was great. It tied this set of movies to the 'original' trilogy very well. I'm glad I saw it on the big screen as this is one of those movies that, although it will be enjoyable on DVD, was meant to be seen at the theatre. Some of those scenes just won't seem so magnificent seen on your TV screen at home. Asked afterward what my favorite part was... Well, if I have to pick one, I like the CGI 'lizard' that Obi-Wan rode/fought off of. That thing was sooo cool! I have to say that over all I liked it all...
But, what does that have to do with the title of this entry you ask?? After going to see Revenge of the Sith at the 12:45pm showing, we still had all afternoon and evening to spend together. Days off together are becoming a rare commodity, so we tried to make the most of it. After the movie we went and did a little shopping, and still found ourselves back at the house at 6:30pm. What to do with the evening? Well, we decided to catch a second movie <g>. The movie we picked was Madagascar... And, we loved it. It was sooo cute. My favorites where Marty, the zebra and.... The Penguins!

WOW! 2 movies in one day? You're my idol!
Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! I am NOT the only one who likes to go and see a nice clean "kiddie" movie for a change!!! Hugs, Sheila
Thanks for the revues! I think Madagascar looks great from the previews, glad to know it's worth it. I'll wait 'til the crowds die down more for Star Wars "Revenge of the Sith."

2 movies in the same day. WOW.....the second one is more my speed. My kids won't forgive me for selling all of their star wars toys in my first gargage sale. (who knew?) Anne
Seeing 2 good movies in one day, shopping, and enjoying the company of family. What a great way to spend Memorial Day!

We took the boys and two of their friends to see Revenge of the Sith. By far, in my opinion, the best of the six. I agree they made for a great transition into episode 4. My husband was quite impressed that Darth Vader's suit was 'exactly' the same. I loved the Lizard Obi Wan rode, too. It was incredible. Well, the entire movie was full of incredible effects and graphics. I could go on and on, just love it when I can talk sci-fi with someone.
The boys want to see Madagascar next. With a review like yours, I'm certain they too will enjoy it.

I haven't seen Madagascar yet, but that is on the list...
I'm so glad you got to see Star Wars finally! It's so, so good...
It must have been about 20 years ago that I saw more than one movie in a single day! What are you taking? Centrum? ;)
Hugs to you,

We thought it was delightful. My girls loved the "self-proclaimed Lord of the Lemurs"
I saw Revenge of the Sith on opening day ... it was AWESOME!! I must say, of all of the prequels, this one was the best.

Ok ... you've convinced me ... gotta go see Madagascar!
