'Clone Wars' doesn't deserve your money- August 14, 2008 "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" is nothing more than pure capitalism.

I work a lot, I sweat a lot, I escape both the work and the heat for only a few brief occasions.

However, even from that, there are slices of emotion that are immediately relatable.http://www.ecollegetimes.com/news/2008/08/14/Movies/vicky.Cristina.Brings.Allen.Back.To.Fo... |
