Not As Funny As A Monkey In Battle Armor by Afro Thunder

40-Year Old Virgin. This movie was actually one of the better movies to find its way into my DVD player, especially since I haven’t been watching much of anything lately. The truth is that this movie was funny, but not pee your pants hilarious, like Anchorman. Now, don’t get me wrong, I quite enjoyed the movie, it’s just that I expected more from our beloved Brick and from this movie he was going to star in. But, I felt that if I wanted a truly comical experience, that I should watch Anchorman again, or Monty Python and the Holy Grail, or maybe even go to danecook.com and watch a monkey in battle armor stab a poor unsuspecting bystander. But, I have no real complaints about the movie, in other words, there wasn’t anything bad with it, in fact, it was pretty decent, but I felt I could have gotten a little more out of a movie with Brick. I also felt that the best part was the ending, and the awesome music. I have a friend who loves to sing the ending song, Aquarius, and as much as I love to hear it, I do have to tell him to shut up because his singing is similar to nails scraping a chalkboard. Everything else I felt was just a little above mediocre. 3 out 5.

Afro Thunder
A man with crazy Kung-Fu abilities and even crazier hair. But please, don't confuse yourself into thinking he's Jewish, or Arabian, or anything other than a curly-haired, half white, half mexican ninja. He also gives the whole low-down on games and movies, but avoids reviewing comics (he's loves 'em, but can't tell you what he thinks of 'em).

Mike-oh
Mike-oh works for an advertising agency which explains his need for all of the escapism he uses to soak up his spare time. At least he spends some of that time sharing his thoughts with us on his various distractions.
