During my daily "see who referred to us" check, this popped up in another forum:

Okay this is a GREAT site. The reviews are VERY amuseing. And they review some movies that don't get much press anymore. Such as Labyrinth. It's fun to read reviews even on movies you've already seen because...well...the reviews are so darn entertaining!

Anyway...here's the link...

I just did the whole ego-surfing thing for MRFH - and look, we've got yet another mention on a University web-page!!

www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/filmstudies/filmreviewsintro.html

for those too lazy to click, here's the relevant text.

Berkley came out of the closet to say:
"The MRQ is more useful in finding reviews for more recent films than for older ones, but with 28,000+ reviews on board, it's always worth a try. The engine turns up reviews in national and regional newspapers and magazines, newsletters and e-zines, use groups, and sundry other weird venues (Mutant Reviewers From Hell...really!)"

Our finest moment has arrived, ladies and gentlemen. Buried deep in the pages of Google hits for MRFH, I found this.

"OCT 17 & 18 (12:10 am)
ARMY OF DARKNESS Sam Raimi (USA, 1992, 90 min)
"Our favorite one-handed anti-hero, Ash, travels back in time to take out the garbage. How can you not enjoy this movie? A guy loses his right hand, and then gains a custom-made chainsaw in its place. Ash has to save the world from an army of the dead. Full of witty and funny moments, it's sure to have you rolling on the floor laughing." (Mutant Reviewers from Hell)"

From here.

Yes, the University of Victoria Cinema has used a quote from MRFH to sell a movie!

I eagerly await the day one of our quotes appears on a Hollywood poster at my local cinema....

Funny thing, I can't actually find that quote anywhere on our site. It's not in the AoD review, that's for sure.

It appears to be paraphrased from Kym's review.

Kym's Review: How can you not enjoy this movie? A guy loses his girlfriend, loses his right hand, and then gains a custom-made chainsaw in their place. Ash finds the fabled Necromonicon and, after making the classic movie blunder and having a demon incarnation read aloud, starts a chain reaction and gets sucked back into time. He then has to save the world from an army of the dead. This movie is full of witty and funny moments (the little Ashs attacking Ash is hysterical). Ash is the epitome of manliness (and Bruce Campbell is quite the handsome man) and his exaggerated actions and way of talking is sure to have you rolling on the floor laughing. The part where he's in the graveyard ("Klatu, Verata, Na....um, necktie, nickel?") is the perfect example of what a man would really do in his situation. Do yourself a favor and rent this one.
