Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance (2015)
Great follow up to a cult classic!
Wonderful follow up to the cult classic.
I first discovered the original at Cinefamily in Hollywood back in 2014 and truly enjoyed it. When I heard that they were making a sequel, I initially brushed it off as cheap knock off or direct to video lesser equivalent... Then I saw the trailer... Then the premiere.
Wow! The original actors. Tommy Wiseau. Bai Ling. Gerald Okamura. MEL NOVAK!! This was truly made by a lover of film and of the original. The Cast & director had a Q&A after the screening. Wonderful time was had by all. They all seemed to love working on this film and really shines through.
Hope we get a part 3!
Demo Reel (2012)
A show I was unsure of, but it won me over
Now when I heard that Doug Walker was "retiring" The Nostalgia Critic, I was a little bummed out. However, when I saw the trailer for his new show "Demo Reel", I figured, OK, I'll give this a shot.
Now the first episode(The Dark Knight Begins Rising) I thought was funny but not great...Yet, I was intrigued by the ensemble cast(especially Rob's character of Copenhagen) and the cliffhanger at the end seemed like an interesting story arc.
The second episode(Wreck-It Ralph vs Angry Birds) I thought was hilarious. With this one, I could see where Doug was wanting to take the show and I was sold. It was something that very much had the same sense of humor that Doug(& Rob)Walker had brought before with the NC, and even managed to throw in a few subtle references but also was very different.
Now the third episode(Lost in Translation (Bromance Version)), I was actually taken back. I felt it was both pretty funny but also had a lot of heart to it. To me, it felt this was Doug telling a story that seemed very personal. One, I could actually relate to.
The final two episodes("The Blair Witch Hangover" & "The Blair Witch Hangover") is a great 2-part episode that you could almost see as the end of the first season or in this case, the end of the series, which is a shame. I personally loved this new show, I felt it was funny, original, and contained the same feel of The Nostalgia Critic but a little more well rounded. However, it appears that Doug has decided to hang up Demo Reel in favor of bringing back The Nostalgia Critic. I'll keep watching Doug's work, I just wish maybe he didn't have to cancel this one... At the very least, I hope they put it out on DVD on the website.
