This episodes contains Iaolus, Iaolus II, Hercules and Autolycus. My favorites are basically any one with Autolycus in it and this one is simply hilarious. Not only do we have dual roles of Michael Hurst, we have Hercules playing guitar (great scene). This one also shows Iaolus II not as an imbecilic jester but showcases that he is not stupid after all, he is an inventor way before his time, especially with the Spark Chuck (cigarette lighter) and eyeglasses. Now when it comes to Autolycus, he always makes my sides hurt from laughing so much. His line of "If I was the only man left on earth, I'd steal from myself" had me in stitches. Also with the fact that he did not believe in the curse at the beginning also had me in stitches. When Iaolus is searching him and all the items start falling from his clothes, he had an excuse for each and every one (too funny). Like I said, one of the funniest episodes ever.

Godzilla: Final Wars
(2004)
Best Godzilla Movie Ever
22 June 2006
Being the serious die hard Godzilla fan that I am, I was extra excited when I found out about Final Wars. I did not have the opportunity to see it in a theater but searched far and wide at every video store for it, at first my search was useless because folks thought I was making up the title. But finally I located a store which had the film (actually I called first) and rushed immediately to get the film since they said they only had 2 left. Well, I was not disappointed at all, as a matter of fact my son always says "How many times are you going to watch that movie?".
Seeing Godzilla take on all those other monsters was just great. I was a little sad that they made Angurius and King Seesar bad guys, but oh well at least they did not make Mothra out to be a heel (I am also a die hard Mothra fan).
The scene with the Americanized Godzilla was side splitting funny. I actually was expecting to see some kick butt, but Godzilla dispatched his counterpart without breaking a sweat.
The actors and the martial arts scenes were really good. The soundtrack was great as a matter of fact I just finished watching it again a few minutes ago and the music is still in my head. I appreciated Captain Gordon who is a no nonsense type of individual ready to kick butt at the drop of a hat.
I am a bit sorry that another Godzilla film is not in the works for now, but at least I can enjoy Final Wars because it goes to the top of my Godzilla list.

Excalibur
(1981)
The Best King Arthur Film Ever
22 June 2006
Years ago when I first saw this film I fell in love with it. I saw it again a few years later on cable and knew it had to be in my collection. I had searched and searched various video stores for it and it was unobtainable. I finally found one store who ordered it for me and now that it is in my collection I am in my happy zone. The script is fantastic, the actors are wonderful and overall it just makes for one extremely well made film.
I have seen other versions of the King Arthur legend but none come even close to this version. I do not mind watching my favorite film on a weekly basis because it is that good. Even the music is hauntingly beautiful.
The ending of the film with King Arthur on his way to Valhalla left me in tears.

Justice League
(2001–2004)
A Series with a Marvelous Script
22 June 2006
I have been a Justice League fan since its premier on Cartoon Network. I considered it vastly superior to "Superfriends" and the episode plots are well written.
One of my favorites is the episode with King Aquaman wherein all the Justice League members cannot do anything to persuade the would be assassin to confess and then Batman who possesses no super powers somehow gets the perpetrator to spill the beans. I thought that was simply awesome.
My other favorite episode was when the League faced somewhat counterparts from a comic book world. Once again well written and thought provoking. The episode with the android who (no matter what the Justice League did) was no match for them really was great. I commend all the writers of the show for their creative style and talent and I want this show to go on forever.

Bruno the Kid
(1996–1997)
Excellent - Laugh Your A** Off Cartoon
16 June 2006
I have been a Bruno fan ever since Bruce Willis did the special about his alter ego "The Return of Bruno", the harmonica player who played with well............everybody. It was a false documentary that is totally hilarious. When I discovered he had an animated series about Bruno I became the Number One Fan immediately. I faithfully recorded my Bruno the Kid daily so I could watch it at my leisure. The lines in the series were so memorable that just sitting here typing this review and reflecting upon some of Bruno's one liners just about make my sides hurt. I also liked the title tune - pretty jazzy. Bruno the Kid is more for teenagers than for the younger set (my opinion). But as an adult - well, I'm a big kid, and I just love Bruno the Kid.
The Bots Master
(1993–1994)
Great Show
16 June 2006
I am truly a Bots Master fan - when it was on the air (I actually had the television set programmed to come on at that time and the VCR set for recording) I faithfully recorded it daily, therefore now having every single episode I can sit back and relax and enjoy it any time I desire. I especially loved the title song (pretty catchy), I even took time out to record that on my Walkman so I can hear my title tune whenever and wherever I want. I am seriously hoping for a revival of the series.
It took me a some time but I finally got my 3D glasses in order to enjoy this series, the glasses do make a difference - should they bring this series back (which I certainly hope they do) I would once again be its number one fan.
