Suburban Knights (2011)
Title: Suburban Knights
Director: Doug Walker
Starring: The Major Members of the website ThatGuyWithTheGlasses (aka TGWTG)
Rated: N/A
Released: 2011
Rating: 5/5
Oscars: N/A
Basic Plot: The Nostalgia Critic has his crew of reviewers go on a quest to find Malachite's Hand. To do this they all must dress up as a fantasy character that is involved with some sort of quest.
The Humor
The humor in this third year anniversary movie was very well done. Scenes that are supposed to make me laugh make me laugh. However, there is a dark side to this movie and it messes with the humor a little bit. While this would seem to be a bad thing, it doesn't affect it to such a degree that it ruins the movie.
Cast as Fantasy Characters
Benzaie was perfect as Conan the Barbarian (a movie that he is very highly fond of). Other cast members I could see the characters they were playing to fit a little bit with them. Still others I couldn't see how the Fantasy characters fitted their persona. Each played their part well no matter how odd the fit.
The Death of Ma-Ti
Ma-Ti has been a character that has been given no respect ever since he first appeared (yes, he is the character from Captain Planet). But in this movie he is finally given a moment to shine as he is the one to defeat Malachite. Ma-Ti's death was very unexpected for me and I liked the pain that it caused me.
Final Thoughts
I admit my opinion of this is skewed since I am a TGWTG fan. That being said, I think that non-fans can get something out of this movie. There will probably be a DVD of this coming out but you can view it free at the That Guy With The Glasses website.

Jumper (Steven Gould)
Title: Jumper
Author: Steven Gould
Released: 1992
Rating: 3/5
Basic Plot: David Rice discovers he has the ability to teleport.
Different From Movie
This book is very different from the movie version. I have watched an in-depth review of the movie and they are two very different things. For those who hate the movie, don't pass this book up because of it.
Teleporting/Jumping Rules
The fact that there are rules that cause obstacles for David is very good. The greatest one being where he can and can't teleport. This is the cause of David having to do actual work to be able to teleport somewhere.
Enemies Are Outside and Inside David
What I mean by that is that David faces conflicts that are internal and external. David has to face off against terrorists and Brian Cox (NSA). While doing this he has to make sure he doesn't turn into the type of people he's fighting against. This causes some good conflict and makes the character of David a little more life like.
Final Thoughts
I know some of you might be thinking of Nightcrawler when hearing that there is teleportation involved. However, I don't think one character has claims over a certain ability. This is very senseless to assume. The book's story goes along at a decent pace and it isn't boring (though it might be a little slow for some).

Problems with HP7 Part 2 (jashycam 27)
While I enjoyed the movie, I found two main problems with it.

Would you do porn if someone would pay you lots of money for it?
Why would anyone want to see porn of me in the first place?
Q&A: SST 2
I talk about my series Sushi, Sake, and Tanuki: Another Viewpoint.
If that version doesn't work, try this one:
What Pokemon do you identify yourself the most with, and why?
Mewtwo because he is an outsider. Difference between us is that he is more extreme in what he does because of that. I wanted to say I identify most with Articuno but I can find no similarities between us.
