Has anyone watched the Plinkett movie reviews?

I'd been hearing about them for a while but had been avoiding them... then I watched one of them and couldn't pry myself away from the rest.

Hilarious stuff. The reviews of the Star Wars prequels is hysterical and dead-on, the Star Trek movies as well.

Plinkett's humour is darker than black and I love it. Half in the Bag is a really fun series too, those guys are probably the best internet reviewers I've seen.

I can't watch my favourate TNG movie "First Contact" again without dissecting it, all thanks to Plinkett's ruthless critique.

I've only seen the review of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but I loved it! I totally plan on watching more when I get the time (they are quite lengthy, however).

I love those reviews, and in the Avatar review there is a picture of a friend of mine (the Navi-yourself picture) and he was squealing like a fan girl in class when he saw it.

Ditto everything above.

If you liked those, you might also look up a guy who goes by the name "SFDebris." His Trek reviews are both insightful, and downright hilarious, albeit quite a bit more casual than ol' man Plinkett. Tends to strike a fairly even balance between the good, the bland, and the truly godawful.

Ι love his reviews, though I honestly cannot watch them any one of them in one sitting. They're damn long, and I don't need two hours to get the point.

That said, they're hilarious, and even when I disagree with the overall sentiment (I like the SW prequels, especially Clones and Sith, and I like Indy 4 as much as Indy 2, though for totally different reasons), I do agree with many of those points. The only review of his that might be off, is his First Contact review. But then, I disagree with Confused Matthew about it, so whatever. At the same time, he's spot-on about Star Trek: Generations. I hate that film with a strong, strong passion.

Half in the Bag is one of my fave shows, actually. Love their reviews, again even if I sometimes disagree with them. But they were spot-on with Trek, and of course, MOS.
