Trickster: The Trick’s On Us
The Trickster
Jared, by any means, is not the sparkling pure white type of hero. He is a partying teen who deals drugs. As we get to know him though, we see that he is a good kid, stuck in a crazy family and he is only doing what knows and what he needs to survive.

The Five: Favorite Hero Shows (live action) From My Childhood
But, there is a certain simplicity to the shows I grew up on. These shows had a magic all their own, even though they were corny, with terrible special effects and laughable plotlines, they still helped mold me into the person I am today (I am definitely Corny).

The Watch: Who Watches the Watch
The Watch
The setting seems to be what you would get if a Renaissance Faire held a Punk Rock rave! There are hints of medieval times mixed with neon lights and spray painted graffiti.

We Can Be Heroes: The Next Generation
We Can Be Heroes
It can be difficult to review a movie where the intended audience is the pre-teen demographic and not being a pre-teen, I need to put myself in to the mind set of a 10 year old boy, to really give this film justice. Luckily, I never matured past 12, so it isn’t a big stretch!

Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol: Oh Magoo, you’ve done it again!
Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol
Mr. Magoo basically destroys the sets as the audience is applauding and in perfect Magoo fashion, he is oblivious to what is happening around him. Ending with his catch phrase, “Ah, Magoo, you’ve done it again, and by George, I’ve brought down the house!” .Classic!

A Christmas Carol (1938 Reginald Owen): God Bless Us, Everyone!
A Christmas Carol (1938 Reginald Owen)
We do not see a sick boy feeling sorry for himself because he cannot slide on the ice, but we see a boy who is enjoying watching his brothers have fun! This is in direct contrast to Scrooge, who enjoys nothing, but has everything.

A Christmas Carol (1984 George C Scott): Honor Christmas in You heart
A Christmas Carol (1984 George C. Scott)
Scott’s Ebenezer is different from most, often portrayed as an older frail man, shrewd and humorless but without physical strength, but Scott’s very size lends to a quite different take on the character.

Archenemy: Cosmic Bloody
Archenemy
Archenemy mixes live action with flashbacks told in simple graphic animation. The story unfolds in such a way that we are never sure until the end if Max was really from another dimension, or if he is just a crazy schizophrenic drug addict.

A Christmas Carol (1999 Patrick Stewart): Mankind was our business!
A Christmas Carol (1999 Patrick Stewart)
I am particularly fond of Patrick Stewart’s transformation at the end. His inability to laugh at first is both humorous, joyful and a bit sad as we see a man that has not heartily laughed in so long that his body does not know how.
