The Road to Wellville (1994)

The first and only (so far) film I could not watch in its entirety.

[1/10 · 27 April 2000]

I saw this when it was considered a new rental. The main reason I remember this film is that this is the first and only film I could not watch all the way through.

This is one terrible film. Words cannot describe just how bad this is. I wonder how could anyone with a functioning brain could even enjoy this movie. The humor in this is below the "toilet" humor spewed by Adam Sandler. Mostly because all of the film's jokes are literally toilet humor. None of it is remotely funny and gets tiresome REAL fast.

AND DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THE MUSICAL NUMBERS. Good GOD were those painful!

The only good part I remember in this film is the fact we saw the attractive Bridget Fonda topless in a vat of milk. Beyond that, I cannot think of anything positive about the film.

I quit watching after a little more than 30 to 40 minutes. This is one terrible film.

Advise: Anything starring Mr. Broderick (save for Ferris Bueller) is all but guaranteed to be bad.

Snoops (1999)

Snoops = V.I.P. rip-off without the camp

[27 January 2000]

My, oh, my Mr. Kelley... How much of yourself did you sell so that the NBC executives would think that this blatant V.I.P. rip-off would be a good idea?

Wow.

For the uninformed (I don't blame you), Snoops is basically V.I.P. without the camp but with David E. Kelley's name behind it. That's it. End of description. Even Snoops' premise is identical to V.I.P. Then the scripts "borrows" very old, very overdone plot lines that's been done since the '80's, if not done earlier and/or done better.

My advice: The original is always better than its clones. So watch V.I.P. instead of this.

Sailor Moon (1992–1997)

A very close second to the S series as the best season.

[30 October 1999]

This is very close to the S season. But the S season beats it out, but just barely.

Like the S season, this season has a dynamic plot. If you plan to watch this season, you should see it in order. Plus I feel it draws upon elements from the previous four seasons. Case in point: The tension between Usagi and Seiya I felt was similar to the tension between Usagi and Mamoru in the first season. The addition of the Nehelenia arc is a welcome addition to the series (particularly due to the lame way she was defeated the first time around).

The pluses:

* The Nehelenia Arc.

* Dynamic Plot.

* The return of the outer senshi.

* Sailor Aluminum Siren's ditzyness.

* Very definite and excellent ending.

A plus of another kind:

* The Sailor Aluminum Siren's and Sailor Lead Crow's uniforms resemble something out of a Victoria's Secret catalog.

The minus:

* The season and the series ends.

Sailor Moon (1992–1997)

Sailor Moon not at its best... but that's isn't bad.

[30 October 1999]

In my honest opinion, the SS series (a.k.a. fourth season) is the worst of the five seasons. But I use the term worst as a comparison, not as a rating. The SS series is still better than the garbage American animators usually shell out.

The main problem with this season is that it is very linear in progression. It can be divided into 2 arcs (the Amazon Trio arc and the Amazoness Quartette arc) plus the final showdown arc. Furthermore, the enemy leader was defeated in a very lame way. When you see it, you will probably say to yourself, "What the F--- was THAT! That's all?!"

However, it doesn't help being sandwiched between the awesome S series and the nearly equally awesome Stars series anyway.

The pluses:

* The antagonism between Chibiusa and Usagi.

* Some memorable villians.

The minuses:

* Very linear plot.

* Like her or not, it's too fucused on Chibiusa.

* The lame way the enemy leader was defeated.

Sailor Moon (1992–1997)

The Best of the Five

[30 October 1999]

The S series (a.k.a. third season) is the best of the five, followed closely by Stars (5th season). Then further back is R(2nd), then First Season, and finally SS (4th) a distant fifth.

Most TV series we see are linear in progression. Linear series' episodes often end in the same circumstances as it had begun. A sitcom are an example of a linear TV series and their episodes can be viewed in any order. The Sailor Moon S series are far from being linear. There is almost always a definite progession from one episode to another.

The high points:

* The antagonism between Usagi and Chibiusa.

* Anytime Haruka and/or Michiru is in the scene.

* Dynamic plotline.

* Sailor Moon using Sailor Chibimoon as a stepping stone.

The low points:

* The season ends.
