Star Wars: The Clone Wars, on dvd November 11, 2008, is a Star Wars CG movie. While this does look a bit like something that you would see in a Saturday Morning cartoon lineup, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. While this was surely made to try and squeeze more money from the Star Wars name, I didn't feel like they were skimping on this movie. Watching this made me feel that the makers did take time and effort to really put out something that is worth watching.

This movie took a look at a part of the Anakin Skywalker story that wasn't covered in the theatrical trilogy (the most recent episodes 1, 2, and 3). While you don't need to know the story covered in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I did enjoy it and think that it adds to the way that I view Anakin Skywalker before he took his big step over to the dark side. This story really helps show the personality of the character, adding to what the live action movies laid out.

The story of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has our main character, Anakin Skywalker, as a general in the clone army, fighting against the Separatist droid forces. The Hutts have a young family member kidnapped and it is left up to the Jedi Anakin and his new Padawan learner to rescue the child in hopes of strengthening Jedi relations with the Hutt family.

Featuring some talented voice actors and some decent CG work, this title was a surprise for me and one that I really enjoyed.

The Short Version: Star Wars: The Clone Wars on dvd is a CG movie sure to be loved by kids and Star Wars fans that has its story take place with a Jedi Anakin Skywalker before he made his move to The Dark Side.

Hellboy II: The Golden Army

Hellboy II: The Golden Army, on dvd November 11, 2008, was a sequel that I had been looking forward too since I saw the first Hellboy. I am a big fan of Ron Perlman and comic book movies in general. Movies based on comic books are typically films where you only have to worry about the acting and film work as you can be almost certain that it already has a solid story. If it didn't have a solid story, the comic book would likely never catch enough attention to be made into a movie.

This movie took the first movie and moved right along, staying true to the characters and adding to the journey that, Ron Perlman's character, Hellboy undertakes. A big budget movie, Hellboy II: The Golden Army features great makeup and special effects that help you enjoy the movie. There are some great movies that lack the budget that movies like this one have, but it just seems easier to enjoy a good movie when a solid budget is there.

The story of Hellboy 2: The Golden Army has our main character, a demon of sorts, and his group, of supernatural friends, seeking out a way to stop a bad tempered elf from reigning down an apocalypse upon the world. Simply put, just another day for Hellboy. The story is based closely on the comic and provides a great basis for which to show off the talent of the cast and provide some opportunities for impressive CG and special effects. This should be a fantasy story that both young and old can enjoy.

The Short Version: Hellboy II: The Golden Army on dvd is an action packed film that brings high production values and a great story to the screen, which should appeal to a wide range of viewers.
