I am sure you all are not surprised... but I just couldn't wait to watch this movie. I have always enjoyed the superhero animated movies. And this one is no different. I enjoyed every moment of this story. I especially enjoyed that this story has the Legion of Doom in it... as that is something I enjoyed every Saturday morning as a kid while watching the Super Friends. So I liked having a sort of nod towards that. This story did confuse me a little about Wonder Woman. It was like they couldn't decide if they wanted the version that could fly or not. In one scene they had her in her invisible plane and using a line to pull her up to the hovering invisible plane. Yet in another scene they had her flying. So I do wish they would have went one way or another with that. But that is ok... it didn't take away much from the story for me. For this being a 2-Disc Special Edition, there really isn't all that many extras offered here. Though they do have a nice 36min featurette on the late Dwyane McDuffie. There is also 2 episodes of Justice League... but that isn't a very big deal... especially if you already have the series in your collection. But either way... this is a good animated movie that I am happy I have in my collection!

Epic Movie, a review by Jimmy

Title : Epic Movie (2007)

Overview
When more troubled orphans (from four different movies) become trapped in a bizarre chocolate factory, they escape to a magical world of fake snow and genuine sorcery. But in order to survive, they must join forces with pirates, wizards and even a wise-but-horny lion in order to defeat the evil White Bitch!

My Impression
Now I know from where the bad reputation of Friedberg and Seltzer came from. This isn't a parody at all but a patchwork of trailer that's why I see the reference even if I've not seen a single one of the movies used... The joke are so lame, I give you a couple of exemples : the parody of the movie Nacho Libre consist as a guy dress like Jack Black shouting nacho over and over again before eating a bag of nachos (someone who had seen the film parodied find this funny?), a Paris Hilton look-a-like died when one of the girl fell on her, the movie countains a stupid pirate song (just check on youtube, you will certainly find it). Some part are almost funny but overkill again like : The Samuel Jackson look-a-like who appears when a plane become full of snake saying "I have had it with these goddamn snakes on this goddamn plane!" they would have stop right there and it would have been correct, but he tell the line maybe 10 times and kill it by saying "The internet bloggers love when I say, "I have had it with these goddamn snakes on this goddamn plane!"". The first rule in comedy is to not explain the jokes... Again Carmen Electra is in this and for nothing, don't tell me she is in the bussiness for her acting talent I don't know but her talent consist of two things, use them... 2 things are a little bit smile inducing : the big fight at the end when everything is paused except the four protagonists and the fight when the stunt double is really obvious. If you are French Canadian you will maybe get a couple of giggles the first time you will see the fake beaver who looks like the one in the Bell publicity campaign.

And thinking that Meet the Spartans is supposed to be even worse

7. Apocalypse, Nowish

When Cordelia's apocalyptic nightmares become a reality, Angel, Wesley, Gunn and Lorne find themselves powerless against The Beast (guest star Vladimir Kulich) who has risen from the center of the Earth, bringing earthquakes and a rain of fire to Los Angeles. Bloodied and beaten, Angel and his friends realize that they may not be able to stop the impending doom.

Guest Stars:

My Thoughts:
Another episode I enjoyed. I like how the did "The Beast"... they made him look right cool. And the fight between him and Angel and the gang was a good one... The Beast is getting the best of them. Which of course makes for a good... exciting episode.

My Rating:
