DVD Fight: Devilman vs. Sukeban Deka 2

By Lisa Fary

For a moment, I thought Devilman broke my DVD player. On closer inspection, however, it appeared that the plug had simply come loose. Since that was the last DVD I’d watched, I’m going to go ahead and blame the loose plug on the movie rather than on my cat (who is probably the responsible party) anyway. Devilman deserves to take the blame for as much as possible.

DVD Fight: The King of Kong vs. The Phoenix Lights

By Lisa Fary

I’ve always hated Donkey Kong. I spent hours trying to get past the first screen on our old Atari 2600 without ever making it much more than half way. Then I’d just get frustrated and pop in Pitfall.

DVD Fight: Enchanted vs. Sweeney Todd

By Lisa Fary

Those of you who know me know that my greatest dream (in addition to being a lunar colonist, owning a jetpack, and keeping a zoo of my TV boyfriends) is to live my life as a musical. But, not just any musical – if I had to live life as a Disney musical, I’d puke. Constantly. The constant puking would make the singing really difficult.

DVD Fight: Gamers vs. A Great Disturbance

By Lisa Fary

I’m really sick of mockumentaries. Yes, I liked Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, and the rest of the mockumentaries from Christopher Guest et al (with the exception of For Your Consideration, which wasn’t so great). Sure, I pushed Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon on this very site many times. However, in some cases, the mockumentary seems to be the answer to making a movie on a small budget. With a mockumentary, you can have grainy film and spend a good deal of time driving around in cars while the “subject” pontificates.

DVD Fight: Cloverfield vs. AVP: Requiem

I dream about Godzilla a lot. It started the summer before my senior year of college and still happens pretty consistently, at least once a month or so. In my dreams, I’ve faced off with Godzilla in Manhattan, my hometown of Jacksonville, and in my current town of Tucson. Once, it happened on Mars. Regardless of the location, those dreams are usually a lot like Cloverfield: I don’t get a good look at the monster and there’s no real plan of action.
