Opinion of a reviewer : http://www.geocities.com/dashchapman/ROTJthoughts.html
In the last episode, things are changing. Luke is a real Jedi, no more a Padawan. The battle between bright and dark side is great. Just before dying, Darth Vader came back to the bright side of the Force. He became back Anakin Skywalker. So brilliant.

My opinion : This is the last chapter of the first « Star Wars » trilogy. The rebel alliance are gathering them together in order to stop the galactic empire for good. After having loved the first and the second parts of the trilogy, this part is a beautiful conclusion. It’s full of reboundings and surprises.
It’s the consecration of an all enigma : heroes are achieving to discover them real feelings, them minds. From Princess Leia to Darth Vader, bearing in Obi-Wan Kenobi’s ghost and Luke Skywalker, all characters are true and filled in all human feelings : love, hate, anger and jealousy.
Georges Lucas shows to us how Luke Skywlaker lives his new Jedi’s life and we can see him using Obi-Wan Kenobi’s tricks. So awesome...
This is the most spectacular part of the trilogy : more special effects, magic creatures or subhuman.
It’s the perfect conclusion of one of the most impressive and gripping saga of cinema’s history. A saga which has touched a generation and will continue to touch generations for a while.

Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal
An old school song from the best artist of the history of pop music.

Leama - Requiem for a dream
So beautiful and so sad, with a very long crescendo. From the OST from "Requiem for a dream", a crazy film. The topic of the movie is the addiction of different kind of drugs, of different people.

NTM - That's my People
A real hardcore rap song from the best french rap band.

Barrington Levy - Black Roses
Old-school reggae song from an oldest reggae and dancehall recording artist. He recorded so much CDs that I love. My second best reggae artist just before the famous Bob !

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
The most beautiful slow. Hard rock bands have a gift for recording slows. I love our others songs but it's the most beautiful and succesfully completed.

Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Intro
When you listen this music, you must dance !! It's the only way !! The bass line is so captivating.

Machine Head - Old
It's a famous trash metal band. They are so full of energy. You want to destroy everything in your room when you listen this music. A good way to drop the pressure.

Noir Désir - Un jour en France
The only one french rock band that I love. The album "666.667 Club" is filled of beautiful songs. A masterpiece for the french rock.

My Record : Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine

Why buy an iPhone ? ( dedication to Ali !! )

Yes, I have an iPhone and I love it ! It's my Precious (I'm not Gollum) !!!

Why buy an iPhone? In this countdown I’ll be taking you through the top reasons for you to buy one of the hottest gadgets on the planet.


1. 3.5” Widescreen Display

The problem with a lot of portable devices in the past has been the screen size. By making the screen the whole unit and with no keypad in site, Apple have been able to maximise screen size.

2. Touch Screen

The whole screen changes depending on your needs, so at one point it might be a kaypad, whilst at others it will be your music library or a short video clip for your viewing pleasure. You can scroll down through lists with a flick of your finger and the whole things just works brilliantly.

3. Mac OSX

The version of OSX that Apple use on the iPhone is customised for mobile use. The iPhone's version of OS X includes the software component "Core Animation" which is responsible for the smooth animations used in its user interface.

4. The Look

The screen is excellent, the design is slick and the whole phone is really well put together. It measures in at 115×61×11.6 mm and weighs 135 grams. When you consider how much is squeezed into the iPhone, that’s small. A great Apple design team's job!

5. Wireless Capabilities

The iPhone is a quad band GSM phone along with a 802.11g/b Wi-Fi, supports EDGE data transfer (for high speed internet and data transfer), and Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR.

6. It's Stylish

The iPhone is going to be very cool...if it isn’t already. The iPhone has a great look, some great features and is sure to be the next ‘must have’ gadget. So if you can afford the price, you’ll be the envy of all your friends.

7. Full Web Browsing

It uses Apple’s Safari Browser and displays web pages in their full form. You can view them either vertically or horizontally and zooming is done in style by simply double-tapping a section of the screen to zoom in on. The best bit though is the use of Google Maps on the iPhone.
