Well, I finally managed to get my hands on this mini-series (thanks, Netflix!) and I couldn't be more pleased.
I had my concerns that this would be some crappy half-hearted plot with a bunch of cameos from Kids in the Hall characters no one had seen for 15 years. Sure, a couple characters make cameos and I did roll my eyes at them, but the show still had a very fresh feel to it.
There's no point in me trying to dissect the series here, to be honest. If you're a KITH fan and you just found out this thing even existed (especially if you're in the States like me and it took you 4 years to stumble across it) then you need to watch this. The guys (especially McKinney) are in their old form. While there aren't a lot of laugh-out- loud moments, I sat through 4 episodes in a viewing without getting bored or feeling like the show was wearing thin.
If you've never seen KITH, you should probably watch the original show first or this might put you off. Personally, I felt the guys aged well. It didn't feel like a bunch of tired old has-beens trying to make a come back. It felt like a group of friends and talented comedians doing their best to keep putting their work out there.
Kudos to the guys and here's hoping they keep making more!

Let me preface this review by stating that I am an unabashed fan of the 80's. I love the music even though MTV killed rock, I love the vision of the future even though neon is clearly on its way out, and I especially love the movies.
Now, I know that the original Tron was terrible in most ways. However, it had a few things going for it. First, it had Bruce Boxleitner and Jeff Bridges. As if that weren't enough, they spent most of the movie basking in a cyberpunk neon glow. If you accepted the movie for what it was, it was an epic adventure in corny 80's wonderment.
Tron: Legacy is everything that a fan of the original could possibly want. If you didn't enjoy the first movie, you might still like this one. If you loved the first movie, this one will absolutely immerse you.
The first thing worth pointing out is the amazing special effects. They were worth every penny. But the special effects actually take a back seat to one thing; the music.
Composed by Daft Punk (who actually make a cameo), the music is not like their typical fare. What it is is absolutely astonishing. The soundtrack will win awards, make no mistake. If it loses out to Justin Bieber's new "movie" then I will start putting my money on the world ending in 2012.
From beginning to end, I was smiling through this flick. My gums were dry, my cheeks ached, and I wanted to do it all again. Immediately. Tron: Legacy was everything the original wanted to be, but couldn't. It does leave me wondering if, 30 years from now when the new Tron movie is released, it will be as massive a step forward over this one as this one was over the old one? If so, I'm going to start eating healthier because I really need to see that.
Final statement: I really REALLY want the duster that Flynn wears in the end of the movie.

There's the slightly slack jaw and empty eyes, indicating intense passion. There's the jaw slightly agape and eyes half closed to indicate fear. There is, of course, the remarkable drooping jaw and sleepy eyes which I believe indicate brain damage. Regardless, if you think the impossible love of a hundred year old vampire for a sullen teen girl is the only tragedy in this film, you're way off.
Let's be honest for a second. The books were not good. They were directed at teen girls harder than a scud missile heading for Kuwait. That doesn't usually bode well for a movie translation. When Hollywood can screw up a genuinely good book like Sphere or Andromeda Strain or anything by Stephen King, you know that a bad book doesn't have a chance.
What you end up with, in the case of Twilight, is a movie completely filled to the brim with absolutely nothing of substance. Stewart wanders around with a blank stare on her face (She should be cast by George Romero. As a zombie.) and the vampires, who are just feminine guys rather than the frightening denizens of darkness we all came to love, are two dimensional and completely uninteresting. The werewolves, rather than being the essence of the brazen and dangerous wolf, are just rowdy kids and punks who inspire no reaction from the audience whatsoever.
Basically, this film is just a lump of scenes stitched together rather poorly into a mass of people staring at one another and dialogue written by someone who fell asleep with their face on the typewriter. If you absolutely cannot avoid seeing this movie, you should at least play Riff Trax over it so your brain doesn't melt and drip out your ears.
