If you can’t get enough of Dr. Horrible online, or on DVD and you NEED to have a Dr. Horrible Blu-ray version in your collection, you can now breathe once again!
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog from that dark, twisted spot in the mind of Joss Whedon, starring the man himself, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion and Felecia Day, is coming to Blu-ray on May 25th and the pre-order frenzy may begin! Woo hoo! OK… I’m calm… really.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was a 43-minute 3-part internet sensation. In a mere 43 minutes, Joss Whedon packs it all in there: Action, love and tragedy, as only Joss Whedon can do. And to think, all because of the writer’s strike. LOL.
Review of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-a-Long Blog
Dr. Horrible can be described in a confusing way, like it’s a villain who experiences a tragedy, who is misguided, but without guidance, heads down the path of evil to get the notoriety he feels he deserves. He practices his evil laugh, he applies to the Evil League of Evil but he has a road bump in his path to being evil. Penny (Felicia Day) The man is smitten and she could keep him from going over to the dark side, the evil side of life. Well, that, and Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) keeps pounding him into the ground.
If you haven’t seen it, I’m not going to spoil it for you, but watching it brought me back to the days of the fun of Rocky Horror Picture Show. As far as a musical goes, I think it’s right on par with the episode “Once More With Feeling” from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
I’d rate the flick at a 9 out of 10. I hate musicals, and yet I liked this. But since I hate musicals, I had to deduct a point on principal. Hahahaha… oh, sorry.
Any how, if you haven’t seen it or own it, this is a must-(see or own) it Joss Whedon production. Not to mention, it may very well be one of those turning points in television history where someone came along, buffed the system and made it work like never before, creating a new standard and path for the future of entertainment. Yes, Joss Whedon hit on it brilliantly!
