RedLetterMedia’s Generations Review
I haven’t posted in a while. To make up for it, here are a ton of reviews on YouTube that I found. These are hilarious and insightful, culminating in a wonderful takedown of Phantom Menace. PLEASE NOTE: A lot of these have language that is NSFW. Let’s start with his review of Star Trek: Generations:

A few more thoughts about G.I. Joe
These thoughts regarding G.I. Joe contain spoilers, so I’m hiding them after this break.

REVIEW: Cobra assaults civilization; “G.I. Joe” assaults senses
One of the highlights of the film is a sequence where our heroes pursue terrorists who are threatening to destroy Paris with a W.M.D. Guns blazing, they take out the terrorists but not without many casualties. While Paris and millions are saved, the Eiffel Tower is destroyed and it is a Pyrrhic victory. But enough…

Watchmen: First thoughts review
I’m sure I can put together a lengthier, more thoughtful review when I’ve had time to reflect on it, but this is my initial take after leaving the theater: The special effects are great… …and that about says it all when it comes to Hollywood’s adaptation of a book that is mostly conversations. Spoilers ahead;…

Ice Age: The Meltdown review and news
‘Ice Age’ Hauls in Mammoth $70.5M I saw “Ice Age: The Meltdown” this weekend in a theater full of kids on Sunday afternoon. Apparently this was replicated across the country, as the movie will need a herd of mammoths to haul all the money they took in. $70 million is great, especially in an age…

“Return to the Batcave” is on DVD?
I didn’t realize you could buy “Return to the Batcave.” This was a TV movie which seemed to have a multiple personality syndrome, but it was a lot of fun. It details the making of the 1968 Batman TV show in flashbacks, and that part is played straight while focusing on such silliness as Burt…

By the way, Today’s Halloween
Mark Steyn’s horror movie reviews come off as a bit whiney, though it would be hard not to whine when the subjects are “The Blair Witch Project,” “Interview With The Vampire,” “Wolf” and “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.” Especially “Blair Witch.” It’s fashionable to hate the movie now, but I hated it back before it was hip.…

Review: Serenity (a/k/a Firefly: The Motion Picture)
This is a SPOILER-FREE review of Serenity! Read it without fear of corruption. Let me tell you a story. The creator of a hugely popular genre TV show was invited to do a new sci-fi show about a disparate group of loners wandering the spaceways in a starship. Unfortunately, despite a proven track record for…
