100th Post! 10 Top 10 Countdowns.

Just to start off, this will be a hell of a long post. Due to this, I will attempt to be brief in each countdown and will most likely go into further detail as we meet each character, episode or moment in future reviews and character profiles.


Top 10 Batman Villains:

Going into this list, I thought of a few things that would influence my choices. What they've done, their visual appearance and their one biggest "victory" or accomplishment. All this is based off the Batman The Animated series and not other incarnations.

10) Bane

9) Mad Hatter

8) The Riddler

7) Two-Face

6) Mr. Freeze

5) Catwoman

4) Harley Quinn

3) Poison Ivy

2) Scarecrow

1) The Joker


Top 10 Looney Tunes Characters:

A very common factor for characters you will find, is that visual appearance can play a role in my choices. For these characters it's not a major deciding factor, but what is one is the overall character, what they do in their shorts and just how funny I find them.

10) Sam Sheepdog

9) Gossamer

8) Count Blood Count

7) Tweety Bird

6) Witch Hazel

5) Sylvester

4) Bugs Bunny

3) Pepe Le Pew

2) Wile. E Coyote

1) Marvin Martian


Top 10 Animated Movies (Non-Disney, in my collection):

Alrighty. First off, nothing from Disney appears here. Secondly there are at least three movies that should be on this list but aren't, simply because I am going by what I own. If I didn't limit it that way I could sit here all night trying to whittle my list to just 10. Perhaps in time I will be able to separate the anime entries into their own list and update this one.

10) Happily Ever After

9) All Dogs Go To Heaven

8) Fern Gully

7) G.I Joe: The Movie

6) Digimon the Movie

5) Batman Mask of the Phantasm

4) Anastasia

3) Cardcaptors the Movie

2) Secret of NIMH

1) Spirited Away


Top 10 Ghostbusters Ghosts:

The Real Ghostbusters ghosts only. Ones from the movies, while deserving of spots here will perhaps make appearances on future countdowns. Visual appearance, the ghosts powers and just how much of a match they are for the Ghostbusters are all factors in my choices.

10) Stay Puft Marshmellow Man

9) The Dark Entity

8) Marduk

7) Captain Jack Higgins

6) Sandman

5) Boogieman

4) Lord Kildarby and the Bird of Kildarby

3) Big Boo

2) Rall

1) Samhain


Top 10 Darkwing Duck Villains:

Let's get dangerous! Darkwing Duck's villains are rather fun in the way that they quite often are based off of comic book villains, whether it's the obvious Bushroot/Poison Ivy or the perhaps more obscure Moliarty/Mole Man reference these villains are just a lot of fun. Most of these villains though, are a bit hard to take too seriously, though that looks like it's changing with the Darkwing Duck comic series.

10) Moliarty

9) Tauras Bulba

8) Liquidator

7) Tuskernini

6) Bushroot

5) Megavolt

4) Splatter Phoenix

3) Steelbeak

2) Negaduck

1) Quackerjack and Mr. Banana Brain


Top 10 Scooby-Doo Villains: Seasons 1 and 2 of Scooby-Doo Where Are You?

Yes, yes even though the series was a bit laughable and fairly corny, Scooby-Doo still had some rather unique villains. There are though, a few clunker villains who were nothing more than a cliche ghost. But these villains are, in my opinion, among the more visually unique ones even if it turned out to be someone in a mask each time.

10) Werewolf Ghost

9) Black Knight

8) Miner 49er

7) Elias Kingston

6) Creeper

5) Redbeard

4) Mr. Hyde

3) Snow Ghost

2) Zen Tuo

1) Ghost Clown


Top 10 Movie Monsters Non-Human:

Movie monsters! Who doesn't love a good movie monster? Now, in the title what I mean by human is that there won't be Vampires, Werewolves or Zombies found here. Humanoid ones though can be found here and there in the list.

10) Creature from the Black Lagoon

9) Graboids

8) The Thing

7) King Kong

6) Godzilla

5) Jaws

4) Critters

3) Gremlins

2) Predator

1) Aliens


Top 10 Scary Movie Animals:

The majority of the animals found here are living, breathing animals even if most aren't ones we are likely to encounter on a daily basis. Since dinosaurs do technically classify as animals they have been included in this list, but ones such as dragons with purple spots will obviously not be present. One day though a "Fantasy" oriented list may appear.

10) Grizzly: Grizzly

9) The Birds: Birds

8) Piranhas - Piranha

7) Lake Placid: Crocodile

6) Anaconda - Anaconda

5) Jurassic Park: Velociraptors

4) Jurassic Park: Dilophosauras

3) Arachnophobia: Spiders

2) Jaws: Great White Shark

1) Cujo: Saint Bernard


Disney Villain Songs:

Disney! The main rule of thumb for me when it came to this list was if it's one that was memorable enough to me. Some things that factored into this was the scene itself where this takes place, was it visually interesting? Did it help the story along?

10) The Mob Song: Beauty and the Beast

9) Heffalumps and Woozles: Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

8) World's Greatest Criminal Mastermind: Great Mouse Detective

7) Mother Knows Best: Tangled

6) Be Prepared: Lion King

5) Kidnap the Sandy Claws: Nightmare Before Christmas

4) Gaston: Beauty and the Beast

3) I've Got Friends on the Other Side: Princess and the Frog

2) Hellfire: Hunchback Of Notre Dame

1) Poor Unfortunate Souls: The Little Mermaid


Top 10 Saddest Moments in Disney and Pixar:

Disney is, despite being family friendly, quite good at providing the audience with scenes that are just downright depressing. So of course I had to compile a list of the ten saddest moments in the animated canon and Pixar! Get your kleenex ready or just skip over this list if you'd prefer to stay happy :)

10) Toy Story 2: When She Loved Me (song)

9) UP: Married Life Montage

8) Mickey's Christmas Carol: Bob Crachit in the graveyard

7) Brother Bear: Kenai telling Koda the truth.

6) Tarzan: Kala losing her baby in the opening.

5) Dumbo: Baby of Mine (song)

4) The Lion King: Mufasa's Death

3) Toy Story 3: The ending.

2) Bambi: Bambi's mom getting shot.

1) Snow White: Snow White's funeral/the Dwarf's vigil.


This concludes our 100th post and our 10 Top 10's. I hope you enjoyed scanning through the list, please feel free to drop a comment on what you liked (or didn't like) about each list or even supply a list of your own! See something I missed? Let me know and I'll be happy to point out why I may not have added it to a list.

Snakes On A Plane

"I have had it with these mother f---ing snakes, on this mother f---ing plane!" How I could not agree more, Samuel L Jackson.

After witnessing Eddie Kim commit a murder, Sean is taken onto a large plane by FBI agents Flynn and Sanders so that he can testify in LA against Kim. However, the man is prepared to do whatever it takes to keep Sean from doing this and plants a large crate of poisonous snakes on the plane, and circulates a pheromone that makes them even more aggressive and prone to attack people without being provoked.

What follows is chaos. The snakes are unleashed halfway through the flight and make quick work of a majority of the films extras, and traps the survivors at the front of the plane. When Agent Sanders is killed, it is up to Flynn and stewardess Clare to help keep people alive until the plane can be landed. As they try to repel the snakes in the air, Special Agent Harris enlists the aid of Dr. Steven Price so that they can gather all of the needed anti venom to save those who have been bitten on the plane.

Snakes on a Plane isn't exactly scary at all, the action not quite as large a "thrill-ride" as some claim it to be. The CGI snakes look pretty poor in my opinion and could have been handled better. A fair part of the dialogue and interactions feel quite awkward, especially in the beginning of the plane ride as well gets a bit silly - Samuel L Jacksons "speech" near the end most notably. There is also one large plot hole I can't help but scratch my head at. If these hyper aggressive snakes are all crammed in the same crate, why the hell didn't they all kill each other? As well, why did they include an enormous 19 foot python? Surely that one snake being removed would have made room for at least a dozen more poisonous ones.

Despite his silly speech, Samuel L Jackson is probably one of the better parts of this film, as well as the presence of Juilianna Margulies. Both actors do their best with an awkward script and a mediocre idea. Recommended as a popcorn flick only, but don't expect anything too great.

Infested

A group of friends gather together at a remote summer home after the death of a friend. However, the reunion is short lived when killer flies infest both the house and their bodies one by one.

The characters are fairly uninteresting and I find it rather hard to care about them. Others lean more towards the annoying side at times, especially the Conspiracy Nut. Amy Jo Johnson is easily picked out as the main hero.

The special effects are pretty sub-par for even a lower budget horror film, and the script fairly bland. There really isn't a whole lot of good to say about the movie, and all in all there's better films to watch.
