For ages I've been looking forward to watching Return of the Jedi: The Spence Edit, and this did not disappoint! Inexplicably, though, the entire story takes place on Hoth, and...
How often do I get to say that an edit's storyline is borderline indecipherable, yet I enjoyed the fuck out of it and without hesitation would recommend it to just...
Heartwarming story about a cat named Keanu and his dog. . . well, his ex-dog. Also a touching portrayal of parental expectations. Told with economy. Presented...
Many Hobbit fanedits have emerged from Director Peter Jackson’s fertile raw material, but if you’re looking for the shortest 3-in-1 version, look no further. . . or higher. Clocking in...
Excellent prequel. In concentrated form, this edit shows how love can prepare a man for the call of crimefighting. Kudos to the editor for the understated and delicate approach, for...
Excellent condensation of the original story. I really enjoyed this. It probably seems simple to take a great and stylish story and whittle it down to its essence, but I...
ROTCLMFCO*. *rolling on the couch laughing my face cheeks off
I enjoyed this on several levels. Foremost, it’s almost a different beast compared to the lurid original. TM2YC does a great job presenting a straightforward story that I’m sure the...
The story's well condensed, giving it poignancy. Interesting how this edit got me thinking about past relationships. The aged film effect is sometimes unobtrusive (bueno), at other...
The pacing's improved. And while watching this edit, I found myself rooting less for Team Dinosaur and more for Team Humanity, so kudos to the editor for whittling away at...
As “visual wallpaper,” as Soderbergh describes it, this edit works pretty darn well. A glance here, a half-minute of eyeball attention there, along with the hypno-lounge soundtrack, make for an...
That wa2 a wee bit fucking wild, a video gauntlet, inventive all the way. And the be2t fanedit by Chris2pher Walken ever. Bonus points (invisible to ordinary...
Action-packed! Between the whistle of throwing stars, the flash of sword canes, and geysers of arterial blood, this short is an exciting explosion of ninjitsu-on-karate mayhem. Don't...
Not having watched the 66series6, I wondered whether thecuddlyninja's condensed version would make 66sense6 to me, and it does. If the story elements didn't make sense the first time around,...
What's so divine about this edit is that Kristen Stewart has been removed almost entirely. Unfortunately, all the Kate Beckinsale scenes were excised, which should make the People for the...
I know this wasn't the editor's intention, but this edit replaces the prequels for me. This concludes my review. P.S. Seriously, I enjoyed this edit. The story...
Great cut of a fantastic movie. The cuts are minor but judicious—as what Nathan has accomplished is already godlike, there's no need to make any blunt pronouncements about gods and...
The 51st maniac ruthlessly cuts from the first movie, and that part works surprisingly well as a compact experience with concentrated action—this is less difficult to admit than I'd thought,...
In an ideal world, I would have enough time to run a smuggling empire from my prison cell, watch every TV show that interests me, and still get seven hours...
LastSurvivor tightens up one of the better Bond films in sleek fashion. I appreciate the nips & tucks, including less Diana-Rigg-slapping. Too bad there was no tidy...
I’m not sure how the director could have left these deleted scenes behind. Neglify spreads apart the film and firmly inserts these segments to create a deeply satisfying edit. This...
Like the last reviewer, I wanted to see Another Earth when it was released but never got around to it. When Beezo released this edit, I chose to watch his...
A classic popcorn movie just got popcornier. This edit moves along at a good pace and ends neither late nor early, but precisely when thecuddlyninja means it to. The removal...
Man-o-man-o-steel, this was entertaining. Superman under normal circumstances doesn't need much of a character arc, but in this edit, mredthefed gives him one, an arc of darkness. The way the...
Gargantuan mechas battling gargantuan monsters—these are the ingredients for Awesome Sauce, except for what felt like a gargantuan theatrical run time. (I fell asleep watching the original version, but in...
This is Lola Groundhog Day, oozing with style and unfolding with occiput-smacking newness. The rhythm is urgent, as if Back to the Future were put on a giant, motorized hamster...
Gatos gives this slow burn of a film a shot of caffeine. De Niro's Johnny Boy cannon remains loose, and even with extensive cuts, there's enough left to tell that...
Good approach to this short, giving time to the father-son relationship. I predict I'll revisit this piece every so often to enjoy its beautiful warmth. (Sorry, enjeivisi—the...
This reminds me of the time I went out for nachos and woke up naked in Uzbekistan and all I wanted to do was go home and saw something in...
The music totally worked for me and turned every scene into one of greater dread. I once thought the techno soundtrack for T1 fit the movie like a hand in...
Dear Peter Jackson: Please hire the 613th incarnation of Ranger Kris. He'll make a fine addition to your editing team and just might save you 15% on...
Lyrical and horrifying, with the music holding up the atmosphere superbly. The ending is open to interpretation, and given that the tragedy is well known, a departure from hard reality...
Oh, hai. Frink has indeed grown indeedishly powerful, as he turns yet another Star Wars prequel into richer, creamier, higher-quality material, i.e., into comedy. The humor comes...
I didn't care much for Superman Returns when I saw it in the theaters. Man of Steel was considerably worse, as the batmanization of supes seemed both unnecessary and tonally...
i don't always open up my skull and trace a finger along a cerebral groove. but when i do, i'm usually watching a yodableu assembly. ...
Guitars power the universe. Neglify shows us how.
Jeejuss H. Pink Star Woes Floyd. Viewing may lead to cerebrospinal fluid leaking out your nose. Trip factor: 10 mental aerothrusts.
There be some funny shit in this here cake. Ain't gonna give surprises away, though. Music adds and subtracts, entertainment-wise. At times, a goofy and well-timed tune...
I enjoyed this immensely! This edit is gangsta creative, something different. Like the next guy, I like mubi fixes, but there's something about remixes that speaks to my heart, and...
I really, really, really wanted to enjoy myself with this edit, to experience the magic of T1 & T2 all over again, or the magic of watching Uncanny Antman's sublime...
Parts of Cosmogony were beautiful, combining tone poetry with reflections on life and humanity. I'm reminded of some of the documentaries and movies that have caused me to think of...
Audio and video quality were superb @ 2160 interlaced, upconverted from the DVD source; I can only imagine how good the progressive version would look. The editing was seamless, and...
This version makes me view Beerfest in an entirely new way. The deleted scenes add depth to the movie, expand the motivations of the characters, and make me laugh. ...
The pacing was on point. Concentrated absurdity at its finest. Loved every campy gonzo minute of it. The mp4 version carried a bit of audio/visual asynchrony, whether...
Dwight Fry gives us a leaner, brisker, smoother version of Scrooge by hosing away all sorts of extraneous crap. Despite my distase for colorized films in general,...
Even though there's not much of a narrative, I still felt I could float on this stream through the visuals and music alone. It's an impressionist collage, and the sooner...
Theatrical releases: I loved The Fellowship of the RIng. It was magical, and if it were a pillow, I'd hold it between my thighs every night. The Two Towers was...
This is a charming movie that gets its charm upgraded by the addition of multiple deleted scenes. The added footage is notably different in visual quality (lighting, graininess) but tonally...
This short presentation asks and answers the hard philosophical questions. Romance, heartfelt disappointment, ire, and intense indignation find a home in this highly engaging exploration of the human condition. Pedestrians...
Dude (or dudette), DF's concoction really messed with my sense of reality. Use with caution. Killer use of a Fantomas song, by the way. That totally spanked...
