No mask for "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog"!

Hatchi and Momo reporting in for Joss Whedon's piece "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog"!

Review:

"He has a PhD in HORRIBLENESS!" “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” which became the #1 TV series for five weeks straight, hasn’t failed to cease my attention. Joss Whedon has done a tremendous job on this short film. Joss Whedon has currently been the head writer of television programs “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Angel,” “Firefly,” and “Dollhouse.” In 2009, Mr. Whedon won a reward for “Dramatic Presentation, Short Form- Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” If that doesn’t say much about the significance of this short film, you have a lot more to read on!

Actor Neil Patrick (played in the movie sensation “Rent,” and even in “Spiderman [2003]!”) was practically born to play the part as Dr. Horrible. Dr. Horrible is a man who plans on freezing the world to win over the love of his life, Penny (Actor Felicia Day whom played in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and the famous film “Bring It On Again.”), and join an evil league with the villain dark horse, but his arch-nemesis, Captain Hammer (Actor Nathan Fillion; played in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and ABC’s series “Desperate Housewives.”), steals Penny’s heart, while Dark Horse repeatedly turned Dr. Horrible away. That was until, Dark Horse made a deal with the doctor. If Dr. Horrible killed someone, the villain would allow the man to join the evil league! The heartbroken doctor took the offer, and planned his revenge on Captain Hammer. His plan was to kill the “Hero” that Penny loved so dearly. Dr. Horrible didn’t plan what resulted in the end. What exactly happened? That’s something for you to figure out!

Did I mention that this film is a musical? It’s pretty obvious, if you look back at the title. If you do not like musicals, this is not the movie for you! After every song, there would be a 3-minute music-less moment, and then the music would come back! Personally, Hatchi and I (Momo) love musicals. The vocals of all the actors were absolutely beautiful! The actors played an amazing role. This short Internet film deserves two thumbs up!
