INKSTAND

Man, this guy does reviews right. Ok, I haven’t seen his other reviews, but this one is not only dead-on, but he backs up all his points and is more than satisfactorily informed of the subject he’s reviewing.
When the review starts, he goes off on foul-mouthed rants that express his distaste for the movie. After this subsides he clearly and knowledgably dissects the Ninja Turtles phenomenon keeping in step with a build-up to third movie. His description of that late 80’s/ early 90’s marketing bonanza is plainly put, so that people who weren’t in the thick of it (like I was) could still follow the progression.
He then spends the bulk of the second video reviewing the actual TMNT3 movie, and does so brilliantly. His take on it was pretty much the one I had, but at the time I didn’t care enough about the franchise anymore to get upset about it (which is odd, because he’s like a year older than me). In fact there is only one tiny flaw i saw in his review: I don’t think they intended that rat to be splinter’s ancestor, but rather intended a lame joke as a transition between scenes.
My favorite line has to be “This movie sucks so much fucking suck that it fucks.” Also, he’s actually reasonably attractive, especially when he’s getting really mad (see end of part2) or drinking Rolling Rock!
I just saw that he reviewed Friday the 13th for the NES. Im gonna watch that now.
