my brief thoughts on.... 'Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder'

in the final installment of the 'Futurama' movies.... and the one that would eventually tie directly into the opening episode of the new season, they saved one of the best for last.... and they made it fairly complicated, so i'll skip the plot details.... i'll just let you watch it for yourself.... but needless to say, Fry steals the show in this movie.... he wears a tin foil hat for most of the movie.... and it keeps changing during the course of it all.... it just tickled my funny bone for some reason.... and his importance to the storyline is great.... not unlike 'The Beast With A Billion Backs'.... where he was the focus there too.... it's like we got two Bender movies and two Fry movies.... well, sort of.... i've honestly run out of things to say.... i'll just say that i enjoyed it.... i gave it 4 out of 5 stars.... and highly recommend it to fans of the show.... and you should especially watch this one before starting the new season.... or watch it and then go back and watch the first episode again.... it'll make a bit more sense.... i kind of hope that they make more of these in the future.... maybe inbetween seasons....? it would be nice filler.... and i would love to add more 'Futurama' to my collection.... it's a great series that never got the audience it deserved and i'm so glad that it's back.... maybe this time it'll get a fair shake.... watch it and you'll see....

my brief thoughts on.... 'Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs'

the third in the series of "in-between" 'Futurama' movies.... they just kept getting better and better.... and this one hits all the notes.... the plot may be a bit simpler to explain, but that doesn't mean it's a simple movie.... it's funny, creative and i really enjoyed it alot.... i wish i hadn't waited so long to see it.... there's a lot going on and a lot of the movie is subversive and sublime.... but it still hits you over the head with the obvious sexual overtones....

a giant tear in space threatens the earth.... the Planet Express team investigates.... soon Fry ends up going into the tear on his own and brings back a million tentacled creature that begins to overtake the planet.... but with love.... and not a regular love.... things get insane and it just gets funnier as the movie progresses....4 out of 5 stars.... a solid entry into the 'Futurama' lexicon.... it's tied with 'Into the Wild Green Yonder' as my favorite of the 4 movies.... and it makes me so happy that the series is back.... as this would have wetted my appitite and not made me full.... i highly recommend this for fans of the series.... you can't go wrong.

my brief thoughts on.... 'Futurama: Bender's Game'

during the brief hiatus before 'Futurama' was brought back to television, there was a series of movies put out.... four of them total.... i just watched this one finally and i have to say it was a lot of fun....! it makes a lot of references to pop culture of the recent past and things i did as a kid, like 'Dungeons & Dragons'.... if you're a fan of fantasy movies and games there's a lot of little nods to the genre.... not too mention if was pretty damn funny....

the plot is long and confusing and is best just to be seen.... plus it won't spoil any of the surprises.... if you're a fan of 'Futurama' and haven't already seen them.... add them to your queue and sit back and enjoy.... it's well worth and hour and a half of your time.... i gave this one 4 out of 5 stars.... it's just too damned entertaining.... and boy am i happy the show is back on the air.... thank goodness.
