Paranoid Android was kind enough to send me a preview copy of this last summer. It's everything I already loved about the movie with a few extra nuances. While I...
(Note: Apologies - I actually saw the "Hybrid Cut" from last year, not the "Atreyu Edit.") Paranoid Android was kind enough to send me a...
Finished up our SW re-watch with this one (1-4-7, 2-5-8, 3-6-9). HAL has once again done amazing work. The cuts are seamless; I usually...
A seamless, very light, respectful edit of RotJ. "Lapti Nek" and the original Sarlaac at the beginning, and Sebastian Shaw at the end, but the Special Edition ending celebration scenes...
As good as HAL's "Force Awakens" edit. If you liked that, you'll like this one, too. As always, there are a few narrative choices where I would have zigged where...
Continuing a SW re-watch in this order: 1-4-7, 2-5-8, 3-6-9. I opted for HAL9000's edits for most of the OT and the sequels, but at my family's request, I'm using...
Continuing a re-watch of the Skywalker Saga, this is the first edit of TFA I've ever watched. I mistakenly thought that this was an edit...
Moving on in our re-watch of the Skywalker saga. (Just for fun, this time we're doing 1-4-7, 2-5-8, 3-6-9.) The audio/video quality is of course...
My family asked to watch this one after seeing some clips of ebumms' work on YouTube. The audio work in particular is amazing in...
I recently got “Solo” as an early birthday present, so one of the first things I wanted to do was to download Digmodification’s edit -- a “Star Wars” edit so...
When I first heard about this edit on the forums, I confessed to the editor (The Scribbling Man) that I was a little apprehensive about someone doing an edit of...
This is the first in an exciting new project started by theryaney that seeks to bring all of the X-Men films into one cohesive continuity. Several other editors have joined...
Just the other day, I was saying to my stepson how I enjoyed Adywan's first effort, but I felt somewhat wistful about the fact that the task of completing the...
As I continue my search for the prefect prequel edits, I was happy to come across this excellent effort by Hal 9000. Hal cuts down a great...
I thought I already had a review for this, but I don't see it now. Anyway... If you thought that The Ridiculous Menace was hilarious, you should...
C.S. Lewis' third published Narnia book, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader," would have been difficult to adapt anyway, but the filmmakers seemed to take great effort to distance this...
While the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" TV series remains a groundbreaking piece of genre TV, the feature film that preceded it by a few years has not aged well. In...
The recent films based on C.S. Lewis’ Narnia books left many fans, including myself, less than pleased, with pointless added subplots and with the central allegory muddled or ignored, among...
So I finally got a chance to see this, and it’s every bit as fun as I hoped it would be. I find many of the negative...
I love FIREFLY, and I love its first episode "Serenity." Strangely enough, though, I know a lot of people who just couldn't get into that pilot episode. Many found it...
Dom brilliantly retells the original 1984 film, capturing most of the major details and driving it all to the haunting "Under the Skin" score. The music is integrated so well,...
Rogue gives us an outstandingly clever alternate version of this movie. The character of Captain America was born out of the same era that gave us...
Wow. Now that's what I call a fan edit! Faced with the constraints of a 15-minute short, BlueYoda brilliantly takes the existing BTTF material and re-interprets it...
Wayne Workman does an excellent job of condensing the plot of the first Bill & Ted movie down to 15 minutes. Unfortunately, a lot of the...
I loved TEMPLE OF DOOM as much as the other Indiana Jones movies growing up, but now as an adult, the flaws in it have become more apparent. The massive...
Review by TomH1138 — April 20, 2012 @ 6:08 pm I LOVED this version of the movie. I laughed myself hoarse. It was a...
Voodl does what fans of "The Fifth Element" have been dying for, for some time: He almost completely removes Chris Tucker from this edit. Yes, the annoying Ruby Rhod is...
When I first saw this edit several months ago, I must confess that I was rather nonplussed by it. The original Star Wars trilogy is so masterful in its plot...
I usually don't read about the specific changes to an edit before I start watching (other than just the basic overview), preferring to be surprised. But, while watching Adywan's edit,...
L8wrtr adds his list of names to those who have undertaken the Herculean task of trying to fix the Star Wars prequels. His cut is a nice quick edit that...
This is a fabulous edit. I was a big fan of the original film as well, so I wasn’t sure a significantly condensed version could be pulled off. But it...
This is the first of the Indy 4 edits that I’ve watched, and I must say I was very impressed. (Possible minor spoilers ahead.) This version of...
