Mini Movie Reviews.

Another Miniature Movie Review: Finally caught the third Harry Potter flick.  Though all three were amaaazing movies that have probably shaped more childhoods that they’re given credit for (Let’s face it, not everyone reads books.), I still think the second was the best of the lot.   The third, I dunno…kinda feels like this particular story read better than it played out onscreen.  Don’t want to nitpick since they’re all great movies, and anything that makes me see Robbie Coltrane for more than his cameo role in the Haim-driven Oh, What I Night is a gooood thing.

Another Miniature Movie Review:  I take it back: Friday the 13th Part V wasn’t that bad.  Definitely not the worst in the series, at least.  The Michael Jackson wannabe sharing a duet with his girlfriend while shitting in the outhouse is worth the price of admission alone.  “Damn those enchiladas?”  Plus, I’m pretty sure that said wannabe’s younger brother was played by none other than “Dudley” of Diff’rent Strokes fame.  I’m sure he’d love to be referred to only as “Dudley.”  There’s even a Tina Yothers look-a-like with punkish black streaks in her hair who robot dances for like six hours straight before the fake Jason finally wanders in and kills her.  These are strong points for a film even devoted F13 fans seem to hate by and large.

Another Miniature Movie Review:  The more foreign-based Trekkies 2 wasn’t nearly as fun as the original, but revisiting some of the chief fanatics from the first documentary makes it a worthy watch.  Gabe, the mulleted kid from the original, turned out a-okay and was probably an uplifting object for thousands of other nerdy-types wondering if they’d ever get their freak off.

This is going to sound made up but it is absolutely true: The "Oooo Baby" song/exchange from FRIDAY THE 13th Part 5 was on my answering machine in college. Very confusing when strangers called.
P.S. that guy is also in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD as "the black guy." HI-LARIOUS!
I don’t know man, it is pretty bad. I like it when the girl is dancing for 5 minutes for no reason or when Reggie screams like a girl.

Forgot to mention the HARRY POTTER stuff. Not that it needs saying but that particular movie was a pale shadow of the book (I know, what book isn’t). But that movie left out some KEY points that make absolutely no sense if they are just seen in the movie. Examples: 1. Who are Padfoot, Mooney, Prongs, and Wormtail.
2. What is the significance of Harry’s patronus being a stag. It’s in the book but not even mentioned in the movie. Shoddy.

Ouch. I did misuse some punctuation there myself (no question mark for the Harry Potter question). Hopefully, I won’t feel your wrath….
How are things at Nick?

Excellent, actually — if watching this week, keep an eye out for a giveaway that gives away yo-yos. Really.

Nice.
(make sure you delete all of this stuff, especially this next one because it is extra gay): Thanks for keeping the site up even though you are working now.
Did you ever finish that tape I sent you 40 years ago?
Also, you will appreciate this, Dusty Rhodes is doing a ton of commericals for a local car dealership down here. Quality all the way.

I feel kinda weird sitting here. Its like I’m staring at 2 people have a conversation and then they catch me and i run away screaming like a girl.

Oh yeah. Manimal thats not gay. I wish I had the drive to keep up a website and hold down a full-time job.

Chestnuts roasted by Fignutsion @ 02/28/2005 10:45 PM


See, that’s why I get upset when people get bitchy about the Christmas stuff still up…Matt has a FULL-TIME job, and besides, you’re still getting updates, aren’t you? Yeah, that’s what I thought!

Any-what…I just got moved into a house, def. a big step up from my former shit-hole apt. Now my cats can get lost in the basement, and I won’t see them for a week! Rock!

I just d/l’d a comic book adaptation of Army of Darkness, a 3-parter that was released right before the movie, by Dark Horse comics. It’s awesome!

Matt, did you ever get those MOTU comics I sent in?

And to the poster the other day asking for another review of the Corey Haim video diary: Man, you don’t need another review. Matt had it down in the first two he wrote. All that’s left for you now is to find that bitch and watch it up…on smack! That’s what it makes me want to do every time I watch it! :)

TRAJEAL New King Book Alert!! "The Colorado Kid" due in Oct. 2005!! Yeah, I’m shitting my pants…and, for an added bonus, I can actually read this one! Yeah, I’m still dragging my heels on that last book. Besides the fact that I just moved and I couldn’t find it right now if I wanted to!

No, but me thanking him is a little too sweet maybe. Also, the "that is so gay" has recently slipped back into my vocabulary (been absent since 10th grade) because of the CLERKS animated series. Everyone, please don’t think me un-Enlightened.

The Harry Potter films are pretty darn cool.. although I’m looking forward to Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe a lot more in terms of "book" movies.

Chestnuts roasted by Review the World @ 02/28/2005 11:59 PM


Yeah, "Azkaban" was a weak film, IMO. The tone is so different, though, that is just didn’t feel like the other movies. None of the movies have captured what I imagine the world of the books to be like, IMO.

I’m waiting for the fourth film. It better be at least 3 hours long, or 2 different films. Way too much to cover. It should start getting REALLY dark, too. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the ending of Book four is pretty messed up.

I’ll admit I don’t know the full details, but I think Matt has said in the past that someone else does the main page layouts for him, and he just uploads them….so Matt isn’t the one to blame. It’s that other guy. Fire that other guy!

Harry Potter is a little shit, and I don’t feel like writing about him.

Bang drop, yo!

I tried to avoid the Harry Potter movies as much as I could, but there’s this crappy thing called fate that make us face what we always were supposed to.

So I checked the movies and I thought they weren’t as bad as I hoped for, but still it’s not my kind of stuff. Plus Hermione sounds and feels like Hemorroid to me…

Wow! Im surprised how few people are posting lately. Just picture how silly they’re all gonna feel when they realise that they’ve been missing entries for so long.. reminds me of when I first found the site and didn’t know you posted in the blog, even when no new articles were up.
Well, at least you can see who actually visits the site on a regular basis, updates or not. ;) I still haven’t gotten through all the old posts yet. (and probably never will, there’s too many!)

Here’s to keeping your priorities straight, Matt, not many people can!

Chestnuts roasted by Cyanyde @ 03/01/2005 8:54 AM


I only post when I have something to say. Like now. See I…well, wanted to say I only post when I have something to say. There.

Chestnuts roasted by jhnnywalkr @ 03/01/2005 9:11 AM


I noticed that too, Cynaide. It seems like the ones have the most comments usually have a poll that’s totally unrelated to the article he posted. I always found that kind of undermined whatever Matt posted.

That was a pretty odd Jason movie. Loved that scene with the guy on the toilet. Almost as good as Sleepaway Camp. I am so sick of that Harry Potter movie though. I work at Wal-Mart in electronics and must have seen it three or four times a shift when it first came out. Ugh!

For more Harry Potter fun go to http://www.illegal-art.org/video/wizard.html

This is classic! Definitely worth the d/l

"Wizard People, Dear Reader is an unauthorized re-envisioning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by Brad Neely. To experience it, viewers need to get a copy of the first Harry Potter movie (known as Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in Europe) and watch it with the sound off, replacing Neely’s narration with the original soundtrack.

After spreading rapidly among Neely’s friends in Austin, Wizard People made its theatrical debut at the New York Underground Film Festival, to rapturous applause. We think Neely has crafted an as-of-yet-unnamed new art form, one everyone should experience for themselves. (Wizard People has no affiliation with Warner Brothers or the creators of Harry Potter.)"

Doc, if you know of anyone that lives near the Boston area, Coollidge Corner Theatre is showing Wizard People: Dear Readers again this weekend:

I meant "Coolidge" above.

Haven’t seen the other two, but I did finally catch up with the third Harry Potter movie a couple of months ago and actually enjoyed it. I’ve read the books but am not a HUGE Potter fan. Even so, I found the movie to be enjoyable…but you still may need to read at least some of the book to fully understand the plot.

And Hermoine is my favorite character, an intelligent and strong girl amid boys who are sometimes the above, sometimes not.

On Hermione, I luv that SNL sketch in which Lindsay Lohan plays Hermione, and apparently Hermione’s gone through puberty. Now excuse me while I go beat my Bludger.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 03/01/2005 7:59 PM


I love the Harry Potter books, but never could watch the movies. The kids are too ugly, creepy for me to watch for 2+ hours. Especially the Ron Weasly one. Not to be mean or anything, but still.

Chestnuts roasted by Stacey @ 03/01/2005 9:43 PM


First two Harry Potter movies probably suck and blow simultaneously, so being different helps. If I ever have to watch a HP movie I’d watch the 3rd.

It was Dudley, who looks eerily (n. Indiana) like a young Mekhi Pfifer.

The sex scene also has the 2nd best pair of boobies in the Ft13th franchise.
