The new Star Wars movie was shown to reporters and reviewers last night, and the current buzz is it's not a kids movie at all:
"Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" is the first "Star Wars" tale to receive a PG-13 rating. The movie was screened for reporters Tuesday night at Lucas' Skywalker Ranch, and the PG-13 rating — "for sci-fi violence and some intense images" — is well-deserved.The action is relentless and includes sequences more dark and disturbing than anything previously seen in the tragic Skywalker soap opera.
Which is bad if you have a kid in the, say, 4-10 year old range. But might be good if you have a 4-10 year old inside you who's been flinging popcorn at screenings of the past two films. We'll see...
I already have my tickets for 2 shows, 12:05 AM and 6:30 PM. Twice in one day.
