To me this is more of a pilot then Simpsons Roasting on a open fire. The Pictures above the couch are different many characters have different attitudes Martin is built up as Bart's foil and nemesis Homer is overly proud of Bart being a genius where as he wouldn't care less later on. This Episode is one of the reasons for the theory that Bart Or the family are secretly intelligent. Bart is alienated by his friends Even Milhouse. One of the things I have to mention is the opening theme that is noticeably Different it's cut out in Syndicated airing but you can tell it's not like the traditional theme.It has a Different feel I suggest watching just to see how far the show has change since 1990.

Toy Hunter
(2012–2014)
Easily one of my favorite reality series.
6 September 2013
Along with Hollywood treasure this is one of my favorite Reality shows. It's not mindless nonsense it's smart and full of nostalgic toys Jordan Hembrourgh knows the history behind the toys he finds and it makes you think of what you might have in your attic or cellar. Some of the toys i have heard of others i haven't but i learned of them through the show The Great Garloo i have heard little of was featured in an episode and Jordan explained the toys origins and the company that made it.Lot of famous toy companies are mentioned it's also good to see the toy collections that the people Jordan visits have this is not some MTV E! Reality show that is to be made fun of. This is the show to watch if you are a toy buff or just want to see lots of cool valuable toys.
Timmy's Gift: A Precious Moments Christmas
(1991 Video)
Wonderful Holiday Special.
20 January 2013
I don't know why Precious Moments Didn't make more cartoon Specials this is a warm charming Christmas Special that is no longer on TV the only way to see this is online or on DVD. Timmy an angel who flies to earth and with the help of a dog and mouse tries to give a less fortunate Boy and Girl A Teddy bear and doll for Christmas. they have trouble along the way like losing the toys and getting lost one scene i don't get the doll falls down a well and Timmy can't get it even though he could just fly down and get it another scene they go into a building filled with props. Everything turns out good in the end Timmy and the kids are really likable the tone and characters are overly sugary this is a Precious moments cartoon anyway. I say check it out it's a very nice overlooked Christmas special I still say there should have been more PM Specials.
The Town Santa Forgot
(1993 TV Movie)
90's Christmas Special with a great moral.
18 December 2012
In the tradition of Scrooge and the Grinch comes Jeremy Creek A Greedy self centered young boy who has so many toys but just wants more.In the middle of the year he makes a really long letter to Santa so long that Santa and the elves can't believe that it came from one person they think it came from a poor town that Santa has forgot. This is an inspirational Story i heard of stories in the news similar to this people going out of there way to give to less fortunate even young kids doing good deeds around the holiday.Sadly i also hear stories of people stealing from the needy around this time.The town of Jeremy Creek is a poor dingy broken town that is in need of happiness at first Jeremy is angry that his toys went somewhere else but seeing what he done and the children's appreciation he learn what Christmas means and like most every bad character in a Christmas special he turns good at the end. Jeremy learn it's better to give then receive and give away most of his toys This can still be viewed on Youtube but good luck finding it on TV anymore.
Frosty Returns
(1992 TV Movie)
Overly PC and not a real sequel.
16 December 2012
This is not a Sequel to Frosty the Snowman it's barely a Christmas show There already is a sequel it's called Frosty's Winter Wonderland. I am not as angry with this special as some people are but it's problems The villain is not a villain at all he has made a great invention a spray that melts snow and ice.Frosty and holly the girl who brought him to life with a magic hat have to stop the spray that swept the town trucks go by spraying the stuff around like DDT trucks.There is no mention of Christmas or Holiday the only thing anyone talks about is the Winter Carnival for all i know this takes place in January or February there's one part were someone says it should only snow on the Winter Carnival what about snowing on Christmas.Holly's friend Charles has no imagination and can't believe frosty came to life by magic And frosty can live without his hat on his pipe is even gone. I believe that Christmas came from the winter solstice and i would not mind a winter solstice Christmas special but this is to PC it's not all bad but it's got many flaws.One thing i don't get is why frosty's winter wonderland from Rankin Bass air once or twice a year on ABCfamily and this airs every time Frosty does.
Wreck-It Ralph
(2012)
One of the best Disney movie in sometime.
28 November 2012
Like the Emprors new groove and Lilo and Stich this is a different kind of Disney Feature it seems more like a Pixar or Dreamwork Animated Feature. Ralph is a villain from an 80's video game who wants to be a hero because they have more respect and a better reputation he tries to win a medal in another game but gets sent to a candy land like game called sugar rush. There he meets Vanellope Von Schweetz a game glitch or so it seems She gets staticity or buggy at times like a game glitch will sometimes do.Wreck it Ralph's hero Fix it Felix and Calhoun an action game hero go to sugar rush to get Ralph and Destroy a bug creature that got into the game. Ralph and Vanellope bound making a car for a big race but King Candy who is in the race is against Vanellope racing.Video Gamers and vintage arcade buffs will like this there are many old school arcade and modern game references such In the movie Weck it Ralph is celebrating 30 years many video game and arcade characters make appearances throughout the movie. Where Brave a Pixar movie seems like a Disney movie this seems like Pixar or Dreamworks movie It reminds me a lot of Shrek This could be the beginning of a new Animated movie franchise.
Tales from the Quadead Zone
(1987 Video)
The sound and lighting is horrendous.
19 October 2012
This is one of the weaker horror anthologies i have seen the light and sound are the worst and boy does it drag. A woman tells hers son who's a ghost some stories from a book called tales from the Quadead zone . The first story which is not even ten min's long is about a poor family who has to fight for there food one family member becomes becomes dangerously hungry the second story is about a angry brother who's more popular and favorite brother dies and he plans to bury him under the house in a clown suit there's one part where he goes on for 5 min's yelling at his brother saying he planned to kill him before he died. You feel bad for him his brother was a jerk always trying to one up him. Thats the last story from the book the movie ends with the woman's husband coming home and starting a fight which ends with him being stabbed.This is one of those shot on video movies that was filmed on a camcorder the sound is so bad when a ghost talks it non understandable the son sound like whispering when a scene is shot in a dark room it's pitch dark and for a movie thats only an hour long it drags there so much padding. The theme song is so off key it sound like some jive witch is singing it.
Food Party
(2009–2010)
You don't need drugs to enjoy this but it helps.
27 August 2012
Food Party is one of the most surreal shows i have seen since Pee Wee's playhouse there both very much alike. Thu Tran the host is one the few Asian Americans in a comedy on TV that does not act like a stereotype. This whole show looks like it was made on drugs the set art the puppets the special effects and the food all appear to be inspired by pot shrooms and LSD surreal shows like this are right up my alley it's nonsensical fun and make little to no sense. This reminds me a lot of a lighter verison of geek maggot bingo with the cheap panted background. the puppets are Italian chef who is voiced by Peter van Hyning the shows Writer and there's baguette a french bread Voiced by Zachariah Durr another writer. There are some trippy effects like a tie dye puppet that tru makes a glowing tie dye cookie from she trips out after eating it.I became a Fan of this just after hearing about it I hope Thu Tran the other people involved do more projects I have heard of Thu's talent in cooking and prop designs that was used for the series.
The Brak Show
(2000–2007)
A classic Adult swim Cartoon network show
21 August 2012
This is what I call a classic old school Adult-swim show it's a spin off of space ghost Choast to Choast one of the first original programs on Cartoon network and the first Adult swim show.This was before CN and AS got stale like many of the original AS shows it still has fans who remember and still watch it Adult-swim was at it's best when Andy Merrill Dave Willis and Matt Maiellaro where writing and creating the shows. New Adult swim shows are gross and profane and not nearly as remembered the brak show has not been on TV in years but it's still more remembered then a new AS show that recently got canceled or put on hiatus. Brak from Space ghost was the star it also stared Zorak as his trouble making friend Goarge Lowe voiced his Dad thundercleese was a giant robot neighbor and there was mom a stereotypical Housewife and Mother. This was TV-PG back then most shows were PG some were TV-14 but now it's all hardcore TV-MA some are still TV-14 this was from a simpler time in Adult swim history that we may never see again. It was a surreal spoof of classic family sitcoms that i would like to see come back I hope to see this or space ghost Return to TV or see another spin off get made.
Weasels Rip My Flesh
(1979)
Ultra cheap z-grade movie.
21 August 2012
This was Nathan Schiff first movie he was 16 when he made it and it cost 400$ to make but that seems like to much. This looks like it cost way less then 400 this is one of if not the cheapest movie i ever seen. Nathan Schiff is the Director of they don't cut the grass anymore and Long island cannibal massacre like those and other shot one video movies this is fun to watch and make fun of and it's not to take seriously i liked this more then some big budget mainstream films unlike mainstream Hollywood movies it's no big deal if it doesn't become a success it's to small and cheap to fail. The movie starts with a rocket ship flying from venus and crashing to earth some kids find some toxic slime the rocket was carrying and pour it in a weasels hole. The weasel become mutated and gain the ability the grow its limbs into other weasels when them come off. A mad scientist catches the weasel and plans use it's blood to become immortal but it's rabid so he needs pure blood to mix with the weasels blood. Then movie is so cheesy the scientist lair is in a basement the weasel is paper mache the rocket is a small model the only animals in the movie are a dog and a rat that suppose to be the weasel.If your a shot on video or bad movie buff this is a must see.
Ratatoing
(2007 Video)
What the Yiff is this!
9 August 2012
Really what is this junk I said in my Ratatouille review that i would be reviewing this i knew it was going to be bad but i didn't know it was going to be this bad. It's only 44 mins long but it feel much longer like over an hour. The Animation is bad cgi claymation the character look bad there's filler and padding jokes that go on to long. There's a scene where Marcelle is trying to lift a chocolate bar for over a minute then becomes able to run with it when he's chased by a cat. The main plot takes place in Rio De Janeiro but the city is never named it just called the city but you know it's Rio from the famous Statue Marcelle Toing is a chef and owner of a Restaurant called Ratatoing that caters to rats not unlike the end of Ratatouille his helper are Carol and Greg who join Marcelle in stealing food from human restaurants. There's a rival restaurant that tries to learn the secret of Ratatoing you may find your self rooting for them more because they don't steal. The characters are drawn badly the cat is the worst the way is walks on two legs what i was thinking watching this was what the smufen sorken yiffin thing am i seeing. The group suiting up getting ready is played three times like they just reran the scene. Some of the voices you may recognize from Yugioh and Pokemon.
Bizarre!
9 June 2012
This is what I call a guilty pleasure movie it's not something to be proud to like even if you are a fan. Terry Hawkins who just got out of jail goes to a collage to make student films Terry and his crew work on Extreme movies with no limit. The first half of the movie is the film crew working on and viewing shocking short films filled with sex and violence one movie is of a slaughter house cows getting hung up and cut another one is two girls making out and a dog walks by the scene. There's an S&m movie with a woman in black-face gets whipped a young child is carrying the whip for the man to whip her. One of the members of Terrys group wants to make new versions of stag films it's 50 Min's in that the movie becomes a horror and Terry really goes over the edge. The sounds and voice's echo like there in sound room the lighting is so dark the if someone is in a dark room you can hardly see them it's also on of the seediest grungiest movies i have every seen but it has some good in it and it's just what it wants to be. This movie had some controversy when it came out people thought it might cause some people to commit crimes maybe it would if they were unstable to begin with.
The Refrigerator
(1991)
Cheesy fun not to be taking seriously.
22 May 2012
This movie seems like it tries to be supernatural horror thriller but if anything it's a satire thats intentionally Cheesy. Eileen and Steve Bateman are a young couple that moves into a small apartment soon they start having weird dreams about the refrigerator Steve who becomes attached to the fridge dream of people he knows shrunk down inside the fridge talking to him. Eileen has nightmares of blood and long tentacle things coming out of the fridge she also has a dream of a fetus in the fridge. A woman called Tanya tells Eileen to leave the room she knows the refrigerator is evil and says its a gateway to hell. Steve starts acting strange and becomes obsessed with the refrigerator some people get eaten but the movie more about the fridge haunting Steve and Eileen. Juan the plumber who was also warned of the fridge join Tanya and Eileen in destroying the evil fridge and it turns out that is not the only appliances thats possessed. People who don't like this movie don't understand it it's not supposed to be a serious i can think of many big budget movies with a well known director or well known actors that are not as good as this. If you like this i suggest checking out attack of the killer refrigerator the stuff or Death bed or any killer object movie.
The Avengers
(2012)
The ultimate superhero action movie.
21 May 2012
This is what action adventure is all about yes it is clustered but thats hardly something to criticize. This has to be one of the best comic book based movie i have Ever seen the main villain is no Heath Ledger-Joker but Loki does work as the main Antagonist I think maybe there Should have been other well known Marvl villains in the movie. All the Characters work well Robert Doweny Jr and Samuel L Jackson were At there best. A first the team can't get along this is just what Loki wants he lets himself get captured to sabotage the group anyone who knows anything about Loki knows no mortal prison can hold him. Thor start off a odds with the rest of the Avengers because he wants Loki to face justice in Asgard Loki wants to start a war against Earth using a power cube. The battle at the end was amazing there are so many action scenes this is what superhero action movies are all about its not dark and edgy it's a fun ride. For anyone who hasn't seen it yet but wants to I am not going to spoil it but don't leave the theater before the first set of credits are over I give it a ten and hope to see part 2.
Ratatouille
(2007)
Adorable Pixar tale.
21 May 2012
Like many other Pixar movies this is a modern animated classic it's the story of Remy a rat who has a passion for cooking and unlike other rats he won't eat just any thing he finds. Remy meets a young wannabe Chef at a restaurant who find out Remy is a cooking rat and has him help him in becoming a master chef. Linguini's boss Skinner knows something is up and sets out to expose him Skinner also exploits and commercializes Remy's late idol Auguste Gusteau buy selling many different products with Auguste's image on it. It's not so much a comedy but it has a great story like many other Pixar movies it proves that animated movie don't have to be that funny to work it' one of the few pixar movies i have seen in the theater. The ending is very happy and it show rats in a good light something that almost never happens there's also a subplot of Remy's family's who don't think rats should be clean or coexist with humans. It is a great family movie that shows how it's not bad to be different and unlikely friendships can work out. This was originally not going to be a Disny movie it was going to be Pixer's first movie without Disny before the company's got back together. Ps. there is also a mock buster movie called Ratatoing that i haven't seen yet but i plan to and review.
Channel Umptee-3
(1997– )
A funny and intelligent educational TV show.
13 February 2012
Channel umptee-3 is about Ogden the Ostrich Seldon the Snail and Holey Moley the mole who ran a small TV station in a mobile van I remember this show from kids WB. It's a shame this show is not as remembered and only lasted 13 episodes every episode had Sesame Street like parodies of educational topics and clips of old TV shows and movies This is not just for kids anyone can enjoy it. Ogden was the Ostrich who was exited about the world around him Sheldon the snail was smarter and more Senseable then Ogden He was the straight man of the group Sheldon had a wheeled shell and could come out of his shell but was never fully seen when outside his shell and holey moley the mole was the silent one who carried a cartoon hole around. The main villains were the frumps stickley rickets who couldn't stand them he was president of a box corporation and didn't like Channel umptee-3 thinking outside the box Ed and Bud were his lackeys who were sent to sabotage the station. This is one of the best Eduational shows I have seen it's to bad it had a short run.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
(2010–2020)
I'm a proud broney and i think this is the best.
28 January 2012
I am a fan of all ponies but my favorites Rainbow Dash and Pinky Pie I don't know were all the fame and hype started but i have been following it for some time. I remember watching reruns of the old my little ponies and my little pony tales on Disney I don't know anything about the 2006 remake. This along with Phineas and Ferb are two of the most popular cartoons on TV and like Phineas and Ferb it's better then most TV shows it's the flagship show on the Hub.There are six main ponies Twilight Sparkle the sensible one and leader who holds the group together Fluttershy the soft shy one Pinky Pie the chatty Scatterbrain who is quiet popular Rainbow Dash the anti-hero rebel who flies around fast and sometimes causes trouble Rarity fashion obsessed one and applejack the southern pony that kicks hard. Spike a character from the original cartoon is Twilight's pet Dragon Another Pony Drepy hooves Often appears. The Creator Lauren Faust Has gotten almost as popular with fanboys as the series. so far this is the only 80's remake that is worth watching it has great animation and a great story.
The Bikini Carwash Company
(1992)
Late night 90's Cinemax classic.
28 January 2012
The story has been done to death but this is an undisputed Cinemax classic an one of the reasons Cinemax is sometimes called skinemax. A group of girls are out of money a car wash business is out of money so the girls go to work at the car wash wearing almost noting and business starts booming. Like a lot of these movies there are the crusty uptight people who want to stop and censor the car wash saying it's bad and immoral. I remember this use to also air on HBO I first saw this in the early 90's when I was about seven I saw a lot of Cinemax movies when I was young. Ed Henson is known for direction movies like this Party Plan Takin it off party favors to name a few. If you like this i recommend Laderdale Beach babes from beyoned or any 90's up all night Or late night Cinemax features.
Eek! The Cat
(1992–1997)
A Classic Fox Kids show.
19 January 2012
Like Animaniacs Tiny Toons Batman This is A Classic show from Fox kids which is sadly no longer around. EEK was a cartoon that spoofed movies that many kids would not know about not just episodes but the titles would be make reference to movies. Eek was an unlucky cat who had high hopes and a positive attitude despite what happened he would usually be chased by the shark dog that terrorized most everyone his girlfriend was a 200 pound pink cat named Annabelle. There was another cartoon that aired on season 2 the terrible thunder lizards it was about the prehistoric age where dinosaur lived in an advanced city and raged war with primitive humans who where just starting to learn three Dino soldiers where sent to attack two human cavemen one was an inventor Scooter the other was the chew toy who had worst luck then Eek Bill. The third cartoon with aired near the end of the series Klutter was about a bunch of cloths that came to life when shocked with static electricity. This is one of the shows that made fox kids what it was it's a true 90's classic I still watch EP's on youtube.
The Giant Claw
(1957)
You'll Laugh You'll cry You'll wonder what they were on when they made this.
1 January 2012
This movie is called the giant claw or attack of the giant rubber chicken and i have to say MST3k really dropped the ball when they didn't do an episode on this movie. The Bird monster is just a little puppet on strings that moves around a model city there so much stock footage some from other movies. The main story line is this prehistoric bird has resurfaced and is terrorizing everything and everyone in it's path. There are some parts with the bird and people in the same scene but it's obviously a big movie screen. Before bird is seen someone says it looks like a flying battleship?? No it Doesn't i don't no what he saw. Jeff Morrow the star said People who saw this movie were laughing at it like it was a comedy this is a Classic bad movie that should never be taking seriously.
Inception
(2010)
Fascinating tale that keeps you thinking.
31 December 2011
I first saw this at the theater it had a lot of hype and Oscar buzz. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Cobb who hiding out Because he's been blamed for his wife's death really she killed herself thinking she was in a dream. Mainly the movie is about the power of dreams such things are shown and brought up like a dream within a dream Trinkets that the main characters have to prove if they are in a dream Cobb has a top that keeps spinning if he's in a dream Arthur (Joseph Gordon Levitt) has die that lands on same number if he's in a dream if someone die's in a dream they go into a deep sleep for years. The main plot is Cobb trying to prove his Innocents with help of a girl named Ariadne who the newest member of this team she learns how to manipulate dreams this makes for some surreal scenes she and Cobb build a model maze in real life then build a giant one in there dream. There is so many odd things in this movie but you have to think about it in the final story-line Cobb Ariadne and the gang go into Robert Fishers (Cillian Murphy's) dream on a plane to America to finally clear Cobb's name and put an end to his guilt. This is A lot like Science of sleep and even similar to Nightmare on Elm street on how those movie are about the power of dreams.I give it an 8/10
Wish Kid
(1991)
Way better then Fairly odd parents.
29 December 2011
I will always take Nick MCclary and his Baseball glove over Timmy Turner and his fairies any time. Timmy is a selfish jerk who never learns no matter how many times his selfish wishes go to far. Nick on the other hand has a conscience he uses his wishes wisely sometimes Nick will make a bad wish out of anger or not thinking like when he wished for new parents and got a pair of thieves for Parent but mostly uses good judgment and realizes his fault if he makes a bad wish With Timmy his godparents are his moral guardians and he has rules to follow If Timmy had Nicks glove that Dons't have rules all hell would break lose he'd be like Anthony Fremont in it's a good life. Nick will turn into a hero to do good and fight robbers Timmy never would do that this is a nice cartoon I still remember when it aired on NBC Fairly Odd parents ripped off some of it like both have a bully named Francis I also caught it when it was on Toon Disney.
Phineas and Ferb
(2007–2024)
One of the Few really good cartoons on today.
29 December 2011
Phineas and Ferb Adventure time and My little pony FIM Are the best cartoons on TV today. Phineas and Ferb is the story Of two step brothers on summer vacation who are on a mission to do every there is to do. Phineas's sister Candace is on always trying to bust them by exposing there actions to her mom who is the only one in town who knows nothing of what Phineas And Ferb are doing. There pet platypus perry is a secret agent his code name is agent P he is called to foil Professer Doofenshmirtz evil plans. There is so much to like about this show most of the episodes are repetitive Candace tries to show mom what Phineas and Ferb are up to only to have it back fire mostly by perry and Doofenshmiriz fighting but it's lots of fun there are Many popular Catchphrase's Like whatcha doing Your so busted Curse you perry the platypus I know what were going to do today. Some of things they do is build a giant super Roller-coaster shrink themselves become rock stars go to outer-space build robot copies of themselves. this show is a great example for children it teaches them to do go out and do things. It's far better then most prime time shows on today and hundreds of times better then reality shows.
Beasties
(1991 Video)
Works better then sleeping pills.
28 December 2011
Bear with me I don't know to much about this movie but i will try to explan it. Six young people on a triple date one being a blind date find Creature eggs then find out little monsters are running around. The creatures are never called Beasties but unlike hobgoblins they appear early in the movie and the woman on the cover is in the movie even if it's for a few minutes. There's a subplot with an underground satanic gang besides a two minute scene they don't show up it till 30 Min's in then the whole movie becomes about the teens fighting the evil gang and it's leader you almost forget about beasties. It's a bad movie thats hard to follow it's story lines can't go together it reminds of hobgoblin's on how cheesy it is.
Hobgoblins
(1988)
I saw the Original version.
27 December 2011
I know the most common version Is The MST3K one But I saw not only that Version but the Original. There are a few parts edited like MCcreedy's bosses scenes were cut Kyle's first phone sex call Kevin telling him that he's got a ton of phone bills for the sex hot-line not knowing Kyle is the reason and Nick suiting up for his grenade throwing spree. This is just to weird to understand it has so many plot-holes a pointless rake fight that seems like it goes on for ten minutes The Hobgoblins don't appear in till 20 or so minutes into it. The movie just makes no sense 1 person dies in a very cheesy way maybe two Nick's sergeant gets blown up but he could have been an illusion. The Hobgoblins can cause people to see things but other people can see someone else's illusion which is solid to other people to. This is easily one of the cheesiest movies i ever saw The beginning is weird the middle is Boring and unintentionally funny and the End has to be seen to be believed MCcreedy could have blown up the vault at any time so he's responsible for the whole movie. If that isn't enough there a part were some one is being fanned with a bottle acting like there getting hit an extra tipping there table over to make a chase look more wild.
Tell Your Friends
