Superman Batman: Public Enemies, a review by addicted2dvdTV Stars in the Movies Marathon Title: Superman Batman: Public Enemies Year: 2009 Director: Sam Liu Rating: PG-13 Length: 67 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78:1 Audio: English: Dolby Digital 5.1 Subtitles: English Stars: Clancy Brown as Lex Luthor Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman Tim Daly as Superman Xander Berkeley as Captain Atom Corey Burton as Captain Marvel Star(s) of TV Series: Other then the obvious (Stars of Superman and Batman the Animated Series)...
Plot: A desperate solution for a troubled country: Lex Luthor for president with the Justice League in the service of the government. Only Batman and Superman stand against the new regime - and their disloyalty proves to be exactly what Luthor intended. Using their outcast status to instigate a scandal against Superman, Luthor finally tastes a victory in his vendetta against the Man of Steel. From Executive Producer Bruce Timm and voiced by the cast from both hit Batman and Superman animated TV series including Kevin Conroy, Tim Daly and Clancy Brown, this DC Universe Original Animated Movie based on Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuiness's popular graphic novel seethes with Political intrigue and action-packed battles between heroes all believing they're on the right side of the law. Extras: Bonus Trailers Featurettes Interviews 2 Bonus Cartoons, Digital Copy. My Thoughts: This one was a blind buy. Before watching it I never even seen a trailer for it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked how they had so many heroes and villains from the DC Universe. Some of which I was familiar with... some I was not. I was a little concerned when I read the storyline and seen they made Lex Luthor president. But I found the story to be very entertaining. I am not sure if this one is based on a series of the comic books or not as I don't read comics... so I can't say how or if it compares. But if you like some of the other superhero animated movies out there... I would recommend this one as well. My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From Weekend Movie Marathon: TV Stars in the Movies on March 6th, 2010) Young Frankenstein, a review by RossRoyYoung Frankenstein
What they say Mel Brooks' monstrously crazy tribute to Mary Shelley's classic pokes hilarious fun at just about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Summoned by a will to his late grandfather's castle in Transylvania, young Dr. Frankenstein (GENE WILDER) soon discovers the scientist's step-by-step manual explaining how to bring a corpse to life. My Thoughts What can I say that has not already been said about this movie? Gene Wilder is magnificent here as Dr. Fronkensteen . Actually, the whole cast is great, and they are having fun, and it shows. The jokes are great, the pacing is well done. It totally works as an homage to the old monster movies, mostly Frankenstein of course. So many great moments. This is one of my favorite comedy. ----------------------- Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Well, dear, are you ready? Inga: Yes, Doctor. Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Elevate me. Inga: Now? Right here? Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Yes, yes, raise the platform. Inga: Oh. Ze platform. Oh, zat, yah, yah... . yes. ----------------------- ----------------------- [Frankenstein, Igor and Inga in front of HUGE castle doors] Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What knockers. Inga: Oh, thank you doctor. ----------------------- Rating: (From RossRoy's Random Viewings on October 2nd, 2008) Tom's Random Reviews, a review by TomTitle: Welcome to the N.H.K.!: Collection Part Two Year: 2006 Director: Rating: NR Length: 300 Min. Video: Anamorphic Widescreen 1.78 Audio: English: Dolby Digital Stereo, Japanese: Dolby Digital Stereo Subtitles: English Stars: Plot: Sato really thought he could do it... Ever since he figured out that his miserable excuse for a life was actually the fault of a ruthless television network set on reprogramming its viewers, Sato's been trying his hardest to create a real life for himself. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems with evil programs is that they keep getting rerun over and over! Now, with his romantic relationships in a state of disaster, his game demo flopping and his economic situation hitting a new all-time low, a part time job selling products inside the virtual world of an online game may be Sato's only salvation. But can virtual success lead to real world happiness, or will even simulated social intercourse prove to be too much for Sato to handle? Life gets messy as the terms "tuning in" and "turning on" take on whole new meanings in the second and final collection of Welcome to the N-H-K!! Awards: Scene Access Trailers My Thoughts: I also really enjoyed the second half of this series. I can really recommend this series. Although I have read the manga in the past (and also the novel), for some reason I didn't enjoy them very much. Because of this I do not remember much of them. On the one hand the storylines did feel really familiar, but on the other hand, it felt like watching something new. Maybe the material is better suited as an anime (as I thought when buying these DVD sets), or I just didn't like the style of the manga, but I really enjoyed watching this series and makes me want to give the manga another chance. So I probably will re-read it soon.
