Torn between the idea that it would be fun and funny to write a review for a movie like this, and that it would be dumb to write a review for a movie like this, I decided to let fate decide. I sent a letter to Seduction Cinema and asked for a review copy of the DVD, SpiderBabe. If they didn’t send it, no harm no foul. If they did send it, who am I to argue with fate?
Movie Reviews
Review: “The Incredibles”
What Monsters, Inc. did for monster movies and creatures in the closet, The Incredibles does even more for comic book heroes and James Bond flicks.
Review: “Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars”
Do I have an agenda in reviewing this highly anticipated and primarily fan-promoted mini-series Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars? Perhaps. Am I a fan of Farscape? The answer is “Frel, yes!” Does this mean that if The Jim Henson Company and Hallmark produced a four-hour epic-size crap sandwich, I’d be happy regardless?

Review: “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”
I gotta tell you, most of the time reviewing a book or movie is a piece of cake. I read the last page of a book, or stare at the end credits of a movie, and then I think to myself, “Self, what do you think?
