Have you ever watched a movie with a laugh a line that also has a good plot and deep meaning. If not, then you have never seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, the greatest web movie ever to destroy the status "which is *not* quo". Dr. Horrible is a wannabe super villain played by Niel Patrick Harris who seeks to commit despicable acts despite his nemesis Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion). Not only does Captain Hammer have super strength and the cheesiest lines this side of Gotham, he also has stolen the heart of Dr. Horrible's long-time laundromat buddy and crush, Penny. It takes all of Dr. Horrible's training (a PhD in 'horribleness') and a few good musical numbers for him to try to defeat Captain Hammer, win Penny's heart, and finally achieve his lifelong dream to be accepted into the evil league of evil.
This Emmy-winning musical will sweep you off your feet and leave you lolling in helpless laughter under Dr. Horrible's power. Directed and funded by Joss Wedon, this forty minute masterpiece was originally crafted for web viewing but is now available on DVD along with extra features. If you enjoy musicals or just darn good writing, Dr. Horrible's Sing-along blog is the flick you'll pick.
Who are the flick daddys?
