summary judgment: Highlights from the week in criticism.
Are We Sith of This Movie Yet?The critics on not one but two newly-released prequels.
Posted Friday, May 20, 2005, at 3:54 PM ET
Listen to this story on NPR's Day to Day.
In this week's audio-only Summary Judgment, writer Mark Jordan Legan sums up how the critics feel about two new releases: the final (?) installment of the Star Wars franchise, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith; and Dominion: A Prequel to the Exorcist, the original version of a movie that was re-shot by another director and released (to critical and box office disinterest) last year.
