Superhero Movie, a review by addicted2comics

well, haven't posted in a while, but I got two more reviews for you all. First up:


The Plot: This is a spoof of superhero movies from the Marvel Universe, but none more than Spider-Man, or in this case, the Dragonfly. Thia also features the Fantastic Four and the X-Men spoofs, all intertwining to defeat the Hourglass.

My Thoughts: Superhero Movie, I have to admit was pretty funny. I know a lot of the jokes could be considered tired, but there are jokes in it that you know you caught yourself wondering while watching the other movies, like "That must be a really tall building if they are still falling" or "How can he see/breathe through that mask?" Still, I'm not a fan of this type of comedies as a whole, so that's pushing me away a little. I'll give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Strangeland, a review by Jimmy

Title: Strangeland (1998)

Genre: Horror

Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1:85.1
Audio: English
Subtitles: English

Stars:
Kevin Gage   
Brett Harrelson

Linda Cardellini
Robert Englund

Plot:This one isn't as known as it should be if you ask me. At first it looks like your regular serial killer movie, but it isn't. In fact this is a more a story about how as a society we create killer, not that this Capt. Howdy guy isn't a sick fuck to begin with but... The story take a different turn at the second act when he is liberated from the psychiatric hospital where he was treated after three years completly cure and ready to start a new life. The guy isn't the same anymore in fact he is some kind of frail wimp who wouldn't even scare my eighty four years old grandmother. Not long after his liberation he is attacked and left for dead by a crowd, this is why I say that we as society we create the monsters. Sure his bad side came back but is he really the one to blame? You got a surprising good performance in a dual role from Dee Snyder who also wrote the script for this film, I can't say the same for most of the others since the performance are not really nuanced (you are bad or you are good, no middle point) but Kevin Gage overact less than usual. The effects are really well done and you feel the suffering (see you don't need CGI to look good, a good effects guy can works miracle).

Anyway enough talking (or writing) we have here an underated gem who deserves to be seen.

Although this is not a series which I think is a must-see, I enjoyed all the episodes I have seen so far. Too bad that the season sets aren't selling that well, as it seems. The first set (which included the first two seasons) was released almost five years before the second set with the third season was released. I hope I get the chance to watch further seasons. This season had an ending which made me curious about how it will play out.
