Abridged Classics: Pathfinder
So, I while ago, I made an Abridged Classic for Pathfinder, an appalling example of racism in cinema, and also an appalling example of cinema. And man, there was plenty to show you. Especially because writing about this movie just doesn’t do it justice. It’s one thing to write, “The Native American characters are useless.” [...]
Abridged Classics: Lorna Doone
If there is one thing I love in this world, one thing it’s impossible to ruin, it is a period piece that brings together a talented cast. It’s a chance to discover the next big thing; a chance to enjoy those who have been chosen to work together because they’re at the top of their [...]
Defenestration: August 2009
Welcome to the August 2009 issue of Defenestration, which is also our fantasy-themed issue. I’m pretty happy we were able to do this one; it’s one thing to be a magazine that publishes nothing but humor, but when you narrow the focus even further, you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get!

Please note that while some of the crew [...]
Abridged Classics: “Becoming Jane”
Wherein I slog through two hours of retrofitted history so you don’t have to.
Abridged Classics: “The Tudors”
Like any costume geek, I’m watching The Tudors on Showtime. But, despite the costuming, there’s something a little…different about this Henry VIII. And by “different”, I mean “flaming”.
“Equilbrium”: An Abridged Classics Video
Science fiction is such a hard genre to pin down. By which I mean it’s terrible. Don’t believe me? Have a look at Equilibrium, where Christian Bale spins his wheels and works on his American accent, where Sean Bean is not a bad guy and is therefore quickly dispatched, and where kids are little assholes.
