I like Star Wars movies but this one almost had me in tears. Why? Because it is easily the most boring Star Wars movie ever made. The only exciting part was the pod racing scene. The movie seemed to drag on and on without really going anywhere, as if they were trying to make the movie as long as possible. If you're a die hard Star Wars fan then you should probably check it out, but I think that you might be disappointed.

Toy Story 2 is even better than the first one! It introduced several new characters, and everyones favorites return. I enjoyed this movie just as much as the first one, and I think you will too.

Growing up, this was probably my favorite movie. The unforgettable characters, superb animation, and an interesting story all helped to make this movie a work of art. I cannot honestly think of anything negative to say about this movie, which is rare because I can be quite a picky movie-watcher. No matter how old you are, I think you will find Toy Story to be a fun and enjoyable movie.

This film has created alot of hype. Most of the hype, however, is well-based, and The Dark Knight really is an enjoyable movie. As has been stated quite a few times before, Heath Ledger was, without a doubt, the star of this movie. The look of Gotham city has changed slightly since the last film, and although it looks abit like Chicago now (since parts of it were filmed there), it still serves as the perfect setting for the movie. As for the length of the movie, it might have been a little too long, but for the most part, the movie is entertaining, with something exciting happening in alot of the scenes. The main story is fine, however most of the subplots, which I won't spoil, are either cliche' or uninteresting. But, if you're looking for an exciting film to watch, I recommend The Dark Knight.

Ryan Drummond is Sonic's best voice. He gives Sonic a cool, ready-for-anything kind of voice. Jason Griffith sounds okay, but the emotion is just not there. Sonic sounds like he doesn't care about anything. Jason Griffith makes Sonic sound lazy, instead of carefree like Ryan Drmmond. This is just another case where 4kids replaces good voice actor with their sub-par voice actors. They are taking away a very improtant role as Sonic the Hedgehog, from someone who can really voice him well, and giving the role to someone who just doesn't quite cut it instead. I'm not one of these people who can't stand Jason Griffith, I think hes okay, but there was no reason to replace Ryan Drummond, especailly when Ryan Drmmond's Sonic voice is far better than Jason Griffith's.

Eric Stuart voices some of my favorite characters of any show. Brock, James, and Kaiba. He IS Brock's voice, and James' voice and Kaiba's voice. He has to be one of my favorite voice actors. He makes the characters he voices come to life, and I cannot find many ways he can improve. He is also great at voicing a wide range of characters, and making them all sound different. I didn't know James and Brock were the same voice actor until I checked. Few voice actors are on Eric Staurt's level, and hearing his work on Poke'mon and Yu-Gi-Oh! is a privilidge.

Veronica Taylor was perfect as Ash's voice actress. I can't believe she was replaced in Season 10 for someone who is nowhere near her level for voice acting Ash. If I ever think of Ash saying something, its the voice she provided for him that I hear. The current voice actor's voice sounds extremely forced and strained, like Ash is constipated. This is just one of several reasons I don't watch Poke'mon anymore. As far as I'm concerned, Ash simply lost his voice and will find it once his old voice actress returns to the recording booth, and gives Ash his real voice back.

Dan Green is one of my favorite voice actors. He provides the voices of many memorable characters, and does a good job with expression. Shame he works for 4Kids but hes still a fantastic voice actor. The only problem is that many of his characters sound a bit similar. Yami and Knuckles sound very similar, and many of his characters, even if the similarity isn't so drastic, sound alot like Yami. When Knuckles talk, I just picture Yami speaking. He can vary his voice quite a bit though, such as when voicing Yugi Moto. The difference between Yugi and Yami's voice is amazing, yet Dan Green voices them both.

Many people do not like Simon Cowell, saying he is arrogant or too rough on the contestants of American Idol. I think he is just pushing people to be their best. Maybe he goes a bit overboard on the comments at times, but for the most part, I think he wants to see all the singers and contestants do their best. American Idol wouldn't be the same without Simon Cowell. In real life, and when it comes to charity and the like, its obvious he cares about people. Simon Cowell is a pro in the music industry, and respected by many artists.

Carlos Mencia. His comedy style is liked by some, disliked by others. Some can't stand him. I'm somewhere in the middle. Some of his jokes are quite funny, but half the time he's just plain offensive. He goes up to people on the street and insults them with his offensive material. Carlos Mencia has potential to be funny, when hes not telling his obnoxious jokes, but those moments are far and few between, as he mostly uses racial jokes and sterotypes to try to make people laugh. He's not getting any votes from me, and I also think he is overrated as a comedian and an entertainer.

Jay Leno is my favorite night show host. The way he tells jokes is great, and he has a great personality. Sometimes, even when a joke is not very good, he still manages to make it funny. It takes a great comedian to do that! His show is the most entertaining night show, and Jay Leno is the best when it comes to his monolouge. Aside from being a comedian, Jay Leno also writes articles for Popular Mechanics, usually about the latest in cars. Theres a reason The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is the most popular night show. Jay Leno is a comedy genius.

This guy has to be one of my least favorite celeberities of all time. He has an ego and thinks he's good at driving while in reality, hes one of the worst drivers of all time. I'm fairly sure that if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, Nick would be nothing because even with the popularity Hulk Hogan, he still is nothing. I'm not a Hulkmaniac, but Hulk Hogan is a seems to be a decent person. But his son is rotten and has very few redeeming factors. He crossed the line for me when he injured a passenger for life, and was scentenced to eight months in jail. Then he acts like a baby and whines to his mom about how rough he has it. Be a man and accept responsibilty for what you did. You deserve every second of your jail time. This wasn't his first time in a car accident either.

I think David Letterman is quite funny, the only problem with his jokes being that they are sometimes dragged out for like 3 minutes, wheras as other hosts (such as Jay Leno, tell many funny jokes one after another). When you stretch the same jokes for so long, it gets kind of corny. Most of the time, his jokes are clever, and his personality is great for a night host. He is one of the all time legends for a reason, because of his talent and ability. When it came to that discussion between Bill O'Reily and David Letterman, I don't think David Letterman was very good at making his arguemet, saying things that most people already knew. But he's an an entertainer and comedian, not a political analyst so it doesn't really matter to me.

This guy just hopped along for the ride. High School Musical, another brainwashing session. Just another franchise Disney has made. Zac Efron is just unlikable as an actor. He seems to think he is more important than he really is. All he did was act in a popular tv movie and I bet he thinks he thinks he is Tom Cruise or something. I don't know where Disney gets these people. Some of them, like Lindsay Lohan, just end up rotten. So Zac, until you get a more important role in an amazing movie, not just a Disney brainwasher to buy more merchandise, make sure you stay humble.

Ashley Tisdale for one is not a very good actor. Her singing could use some work, but she's not as bad as Miley Cyrus. The song "He Said, She Said", makes me want to tear my hair out. It just that annoying. On the positive side, she has said that she doesn't drink or smoke, so hey its something. To me, a celebrity has to be talented and a good role model. Ashley Tisdale is probably not the best rolemodel, she does seem kind of spoiled, but shes fine in the drug department. As for the talent department, well thats quite obvious.

Miley Cyrus is more than a person. Shes a franchise that Disney is using to make millions. She can't sing...at all, even though she thinks she can. All I can say is that I have a feeling she will end up like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, or Paris Hilton. I hope I'm wrong but somehow, I don't think I am. You walk into any store and you see: stickers, school supplies, clocks, towels, posters, and yes, even wigs, with the ever familiar Hannah Montana logo, or a picture of Miley Cyrus (usually as Hannah Montana). Everyone has a right to be famous, but I just don't know why people believe that Miley Cyrus is so talented. Where's the talent?

Seth Macfarlane is the best voice acotr, not only becuase of the amount of different voices he can do, but also the quality of the voices. Despite doing so many different voices, they all sound different. I could never tell that Peter Griffin, Stewie, Biran, and all the other characters he voices are all done by him. Very few voice acotrs can even say they are in the same league as Seth Macfarlane. The acting is good as well; the characters really sound like they mean what they say. Without Seth Macfarlane, there would be no Family Guy. He is just one of those voice talents that is almost impossible to match. Most voice acotrs either do a large number of voices, but make them all sound similar, or do great voices, but are unable to do many different ones. This guy has both, quality and quantity.

The amount of dedication Steve Irwin had for animals was just something that can't be topped by any person. He cared about people and animals and really helped to make this world a better place. He brought joy into so many people's lives and I will miss him. He had many fans and he will always be remembered not only as a great tv personality, but as a person who cared for people and animals all living things. The world needs more people like Steve Irwin. People who will set good examples for everybody, instead of having immoral people be our role models. Rest in peace Steve Irwin, knowing you helped to make the world a better place.

Noriaki Sugiyama. A better person could not be found to voice Sasuke. The effort and emotion he puts into voicing such a complex character is amazing. When Sasuke is angry, he REALLY sounds angry. When he could care less about something, you believe it because it sounds so genuine. His voice acting performance is just unbelieveable. I am not familiar with any of his other roles, but if he puts as much emotion and personality into it as he does with Sasuke, then they should be great. I really doubt anybody could do a better job, and put as much into voicing Sasuke as Noriaki Sugiyama does.

Wakako Matsumoto is extremely talented and I could never guess that Orochimaru was voiced by a woman. She does an amazing job making Orochimaru sound sinister. Orochimaru, I think, is one of the best VA in the whole Naruto universe. I have no idea how Wakako Matsumoto can sound like Orochimaru; you just don't expect it. Truly amazing talent. I am not familiar with really any other of her roles other than Orochimaru but regardless of how her other roles are, her voice acting as Orochimaru is just unbelievable! Such incredible talent! I wish every voice actor or actress was as good as Kujira.

Elijah Wood has done a superb job as Frodo and he also has had many other roles, and from what I've seen, he's done an excellent job on all of them. He is also a singer, although I am unfamiliar with his work. Back to Frodo though, I don't think any other actor could have been better suited for the role. The acting was amoung the best I have ever seen and his performance was just incredible. Elijah Wood is one of the best actors of his generation and he is very multi-talented. I recommend watching all the movies he is in.

Tom Cruise has played many important roles in his career and he is one of the most popular actors in Holywood. He is a very talented actor but offscreen he comes off as a bit weird. I don't mind that he's a Scientologist at all, it's just that he does many unusual things such as the jumping on the couch deal. He does many unusual and eccentric things. One look at any Tom Cruise trivia page and you'll see why he is just so odd. He also appears to like publicity although he keeps alot of his family life private, which is a good thing.

Although I am unfamiliar with Ohtsuka's work for the most part, I'm very familiar with his role as the voice of Jiraiya. No other voice actor could have provided such a good voice for him. He sounds exactly like one might imagine Jiraiya to sound like and Ohtsuka really puts alot of effort into Jiraiya's voice, which is easy to tell because the quality of voice acting in Jiraiya's voice is just unbelievable. Comparing him to the dub, I would say that the dub voice of Jiraiya is very good, but Ohtsuka is the definite choice for voicing Jiraiya. Ohtsuka is one of the best voice actors I have ever heard.

Kate Higgins, the voice of Sakura Haruno on Naruto, is a great voice actress and does a really good job in the dub. She conveys alot of emotion and her voice carries Sakura's personality. In a comparison to the original, I might have to say I prefer the original just a bit more, simply becuase it seems to match the character so well. Kate Higgins still does an extrodinary voice performance and is one of the best in the Naruto dub in terms of voicing her character. In terms of inner Sakura, the t'cha thing is a bit cheesy but that's a matter of the script, not the VA.

Maile Flanagan sounds similar to the original voice of Naruto. She puts alot of expression and emotion into the voice of Naruto. His voice is what you'd expect from a hyper active 12-year old. Naruto's voice is slightly raspier than the original but it is less high-pitched. I don't mean that the original was bad however. If I had to pick between the dub voice of Naruto and the original, it would be a tough choice. I have heard the original voice more but they're both really close. In my opinion, Maile Flanagan is one of the most talented voice actors to ever dub a show.
