A great short-featurette about R2-D2 and his struggles through life outside of Star Wars, what many people dont know is that this is actually a 3 part-documentary available on starwars.com and that the short 5-10 minute portion shown on Fox during the fall of 2001 is just the trailer for it. Any one who likes star wars or likes comedy and has seen star wars should go to starwars.com and see it. It has interviews from other movie figures and star wars actors such as Samuel L. Jackson and Natalie Portman.

Minority Report
(2002)
A Technical Masterpiece, perhaps one of Spielberg's greatest films, but not his absolute best.
13 July 2002
Steven Spielberg has always been a technical master of his motion pictures. He has always been able to capture exactly what his thoughts are on film and he does so probably better than any one in the history of cinema, but sometimes his thoughts are not so interesting, and some times his visions more interesting than others. Minority Report, originally a short story by Phillip K. Dick, is almost nothing like the short story it is based upon, but yet almost all Philip K. Dick fans claim this is the best cinematic renditions of his work. But in reality, the only ideas Spielberg keeps from the short story are that of Pre-crime, John Anderton running, and John Anderton's conspiracy theories, every thing else is different including the ending, the beginning, and pretty much every thing in between. But Spielberg took it on as his own visionary work and did so marvelously. He designed a world that any one can say holds true to what we all think the future will be like, and made it all look so real. But the real thing that makes this a classic is the fact that Spielberg managed to get a great plot into an action movie.
