The Return of Captain Invincible

The last time I saw this movie I was 8 years old. I'm now 26, and I thought about a song from it the other day and bought the DVD off ****.com My fiancee and I watched it and enjoyed it.... Full review

This movie is an excellent parody which explains why some viewers may find it distasteful or cheesy. It is an Australian and not a NAmerican movie, and given that NAmerican culture is so widely exported it is natural that other... Full review

There was a time when i was a kid, my mother used to rent some strange film's this was one of them, it's been quite a while since i've seen this and i only look forward to picking this up... Full review

Have you seen Billy The Kid and the Green Baize Vampire? Little Shop of Horrors. Think back to Rocky Horror or Lisztomania. Even the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is of a similar mould. Off-beat musicals. These little gems... Full review

The strangest movie I've seen since "Popeye" - part action movie, part fantasy, part comedy and part musical, this movie stars Alan Arkin as a onetime Captain America-type superhero who fell into obscurity after being accused of being a Commie... Full review

I first saw this film when I was but a young lad, and loved it - the fact that some of the film was set in Australia played something of a major part in this - although some bits frightened... Full review

Arkin is okay in his early embittered scenes....then falls back on mugging more often than not and seems bewildered by the movie's rampant stupidity.....he just makes you wish he was in something better.....There are about ten songs, each worse than the last.....You'd think Alan Arkin would at least be fun to watch -.... ...

Up until the part of the film where Invincible finally begins to regain his talents, I thoroughly enjoyed the film. but what it became was a mediocre musical comedy that sadly fell flat of whatever goals were outlined for it ... Full Review

Father Geek here trying to squeeze one more report in before the wormhole closes for another 24 hours. Just got Tamsin's column from tomorrow, yes that's exactly what I meant to say. ... Full Article
