The Necro Critic

Ah, yes. It's been one full year since I began entertaining the mass internet. And what a year it's been. A great year full of delays, embarassingly late holidays, and inadverantly pissing off a certain internet reviewer.

Where was I going with this?

Anyway, because it's my first anniversary, I would like to comemorate this special occasion with a special review. Unfortunately, the Nostalgia Critic already reviewed Warriors of Virtue, so instead, here's a videogame based on the first movie I ever reviewed. As HEAVILY requested by my fans.

On an unrelated note, I've decided to take a break from posting videos for a while. Yeah, I know what you're thinking, "The Necro Critic not posting any videos for about a month or so? Surely you jest!" Well, keep in mind that I'm trying to keep up a biweekly schedule. And with college in the like, it's a little difficult to keep to that schedule. I don't even know how these other guys can update every week. So, I'm going to be taking this time off to work on my reviews, so I can at least try to pretend that I have an update schedule. When I get back, here's what you can expect and when.

4-23:     Top 10 Weirdest Anime

5-7:       Baby Geniuses

5-21:     Zardoz

6-4:       Call Me Tonight

6-18:     Felix the Cat: the Movie

When I start posting videos again, you'll probably notice some new things. Notice the widescreen in  my latest review? That's one of them. You can expect a couple of other surprises when I get back.

Also, I still plan on posting a couple of videos before then. Just not Necro Critic reviews. So feel free to visit the site every now and then to fill the time. I also still have that merchandise store open, that I'm still accepting designs and ideas for.

Catch you guys later.

I've decided to open up a merchandise store. There you can buy some shirts/mousepads/mugs with my jokes attached to them. There aren't that many at the moment, but I will be adding to the store as the time comes.

On a related note, I've also added a contact button, where you can send me e-mails requesting stuff for me to review, ask me questions, or just say hi and talk about how awesome I am. If you have an idea for a t-shirt, or even an image for it, feel free to send it my way. Who knows, maybe if I use your image, you might get a special reward for it.

So, why not check out the store?

That's right. I, The Necro Critic, will be going to Katsucon this weekend. I worked out a deal with one of my college buddies to help out with the video staff, in exchange for a free ticket. Personally, I'm excited about this, because this is my first anime convention. Unfortunately, I don't have any money for convention swag and the like, but oh well.

Also, I will be filming my experience there, and hope to post it here next week.

If any of you guys are going to Katsucon, and you see me there while I'm not on duty, feel free to say hello. I always enjoy meeting fans in person.

*sigh* Where do I begin?

First off, let me start by saying that Repo! The Genetic Opera is one of my all-time favorite movies. This... this is painful to look at. I heard the concept for this movie. I sighed, but I wanted to give it a chance anyway. Then I saw the trailer. Oh my god this movie is going to blow. They took the concept of Repo! and blended it together with Minority Report and a buddy-cop movie. Why? Sweet mother of Christ, why?

And don't tell me, "But Necro, Repo Men can't be a rip-off of Repo! The Genetic Opera. Repo Men is based on a book." Yeah, a book that was published last year. Whereas Repo! is based on a stage play that was written four years ago. I still call rip-off!

It's times like this when Hollywood makes me sick to my stomach and I, yet again, lose faith in humanity.

From the deepest pits of Editing Hell, come forth two reviews that I should've had out months ago, but didn't due to crippling technical issues. So here we go:

Jekyll + Hyde: The long-awaited second part of The Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde Double-Feature Halloween Craptacular! However, Necro is mysteriously absent for this review. Instead he is replaced by a man who goes by the name of The Devil Critic. Who is this imposter, and how will he survive the Drug PSA that has been inaccurately labeled as a horror movie?

The Christmas Shoes: A mysterious package could spell doom for Necro, as it is revealed to contain a horrible TV-movie based on a book based on the worst Christmas song ever written: (pause for dramatic effect) CHRISTMAS SHOES!!! Who sent this foul gift, and will Necro be able to survive a movie based on the song that makes Dogs Barking Jingle Bells sound like Silent Night? On an unrelated note, what's a Christmas Special without a special guest cameo or two?
