I have a friend who is not only the Master of the Internet, but he has impeccable taste in movies, television series, and anime (oh and of course video games). He has given me many recommendations and I have liked them all. My So-Called Life was no different, only that when we first watched three episodes of the series during my sophomore year of college together, I had a heard time watching it. Three episodes in, I was an emotional wreck and stopped watching it.

Three years later, I saw the box set of the series sitting on my dad's dvd bookshelf. I was so busy with graduate school and work that I put it aside for another year. Finally, I realized it was also on hulu.com and decided to start watching it.

I saw this movie on the shelf at Blockbuster and it stood out right waway. Red and blue case, Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken and William H. Macy, three of my favorite actors staring up at me. I had no idea what this movie was about. I was not going to spend $5 to rent it. So, I waited a few months and went to Family Video to rent it for 50 cents. After putting the disc in the dvd player, the first thing I heard was a song that sounded like "Creep" (an instrumental version).

I am a sucker for animated films. So much that I had been waiting for this film since I found out about it and the actors and actresses involved.

I love stories about villains who are trying to be the best villain they can, but have hero qualities. I also love dark humor. These aspects can be found in films such as Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, Igor, and of course, Despicable Me. Gru (voiced by Steve Carell), used to be the best villain. He is out-villained by another who stole a pyramid in Egypt. Gru is then denied a bank loan from the Bank of Evil because he is getting to be old. So, he tries to steal the moon by adopting three girls who sell cookies door to door. He uses them to try and capture a shrink ray from the evil villain who stole the pyramid.
