By Rick Bentley McClatchy Newspapers DISASTER MOVIE -- * -- Matt Lanter, Kim Kardashian; rated PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity) "Disaster Movie." The name says it all. Not since the Hindenberg has something crashed and burned as spectacularly as this film.

By Hallie Woodward George Lucas has taken the Star Wars saga a step further. This new release is different from its predecessors and as a fan of all of the Star Wars movies, I couldn't wait to see it. But the result was disappointing.

"Tropic Thunder," Ben Stiller's comedy about making a movie about the Vietnam War, debuted at No. 1 in U.S. theaters, Box Office Mojo said Sunday. "Tropic Thunder" grossed an estimated $26 million, knocking "The Dark Knight" from the top spot it had held the previous four weeks.

George Lucas was involved in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" only peripherally -- as the executive producer of this digitally animated, science-fiction feature, which is another "prequel" to his beloved, original "Star Wars" trilogy.
