GET
A LIFE
One of the funniest shows in the
history of television. Chris Elliot stars as
Chris Peterson, a 30 year old paperboy. Because
stupid people didn't watch it, it went off the
air. Finally, videos are now available.

Sandler's second-best movie, this Tim

happily ever after.

GOOD BURGER
This spin-off of Nickelodeon's
ALL THAT, starring Keenan Thompson and Kel
Mitchell, is a pretty funny movie. It can drag at
times, but there are quite a few good bits, and
the interaction between Keenan and Kel is great.
Plus, it co-stars both Abe Vigoda AND the fat guy
from HEAD OF THE CLASS (who also co-wrote)! What
more could you possibly want in a movie?

THE
WIZARD OF SPEED AND TIME
Mike
Jittlov's low-budget special effects
tour-de-force. Set in the late 1970s, it's the
story of a filmmaker (Jittlov, playing himself)
producing a sci-fi short for a network television
special created to capitalize on the success of
STAR WARS. If you haven't seen this movie (and
you probably haven't), buy this now.

STUART SAVES HIS FAMILY
Despite
what you might have heard, this movie is really
good.
It's not laugh out loud funny, but it's actually
very touching. Al Franken's great performance,
and the well-written screenplay (based on
Franken's book), actually does the impossible,
and makes an SNL character a real person who you
actually care what happens to. Check this out,
you'll be suprised.

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE
This movie is not a He-Man movie.
He-Man is portrayed as a brain-dead freak (and
doesn't seem to even have the Prince Adam
identity), almost the entire movie is set on
Earth and not Eternia, every character wears
bleak, dark costumes, and there's no Orko, Battle
Cat/Cringer, and most of the other characters
He-Man fans know and love, in sight. But still,
it's called MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE, so I just
had to list it. Oh, and Courtney Cox is in it,
plus the guy who played Principal Strickland in
BTTF, so it's not all bad.

Guest-starring David Letterman ("Wanna buy a

SUPERMAN:

Superman is my favorite superhero

best shows why. Superman III, however (in which
Supes' turns evil, gets drunk, and yells at
little kids) , is the best argument against him
being anybody's favorite anything.

MYSTERY
SCIENCE THEATER 3000
Set in "the not too distant
future, next Sunday A.D.," MST3K is the
adventures of a human sent into space by mad
scientists, who make him and his 'bots watch the
worst cheesy movies they can find. Keen supreme.
If you're new to MST3K, I suggest you start with
"Manos"
or "Pod
People." "I Accuse
My Parents" is great, too.

THE CARE BEARS MOVIES
Yes, I will admit that as a small
child, I enjoyed the feature film adventures of
the delightful Care Bears (and let's not forget
their wacky half-breed Care Bear Cousins). I
carried my Swiftheart stuffed doll to school with
pride, and I frequently daydreamed of venturing
to the land of Care-A-Lot and becoming an
honorary Care Bear. Now that I look back on it,
it's amazing I wasn't beat up more frequently.
But as amazing as that is, it's just as sad that
kids today are growing up without being taught
how to care by little bears with hearts in their
stomachs.

ROCKY
Sylvester Stallone both wrote and
starred in all five ROCKY movies, including the
first, which won the Academy Award for Best
Picture in 1976. Yet in all the time between the
ROCKY movies, he just churned out a bunch of
crap. He must have been too busy on the set
writing the next movie to notice he was starring
in crap film after crap film. Oh well. ROCKY's
keen.

THE WIZARD
This pop cultural milestone of a
movie stars Fred Savage as the older brother of a
mentally-crazy kid (not played by Ben Savage),
who is a "Wizard" at playing 1980s
Nintendo video games like "Double Dragon
2" and "Rad Racer". Christian
Slater co-stars as the older older brother of The
Wizard, giving what is quite possibly the best
performance of his career after "Hard
Rain". His role in the movie consists mainly
of playing the "Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles" video game and smirking. This movie
is most notable for introducing to the world both
the "Power Glove" and "Super Mario
Bros. 3". Which were both radical and
tubular.
