Black Lightning

Mr. Hamadryas: We had great hopes that this show would provide humorous insight, be easy picking, have much awkwardness, and hopefully even campy directing. The cover and synopsis supported this hope. I apologize that my comments will not be traditionally baboon butt-ish. We were all at a loss as to how good this show actually was. Honestly and drastically surprised. The special effects were great, the plot could have come in a can- but still entertaining and fun. It was a Russian movie with English subtitles. However, there has not been a show released in a long time, with Universal Studios and Focus Entertainment behind them, that taught such fantastic messages, morally and ethically, and even provided a phenomenal example of family life. Watch it if you have the opportunity. Awkward Moment: This show was a shameless advertisement for Mentos. Hoochy Factor: Minimal. Violence Factor: Medium. Would classify as an action flick Gore Factor: Minimal. Cuss Factor: Minimal. We believe one 'a' word. Who'd wanna see it? Me Who should see it: Everyone Baboon Butts: None.

New Comment Definition

Mr. Hamadryas: We have come to the realization that having another form of critique may be appropriate. A content rating system has, within our circle, been implemented. Hoochy factor: A high hoochy factor is representative anything that supports the idea that 'sex sells'. Gore factor: Not necessarily synonymous with violence, a high gore factor would be characterized by blood and guts and these things being flung all over the place. Violence factor: Fairly self explanatory. A good example of a high violence factor and a low gore factor would be The Darkest Hour. Lots of dying- but people just turned to dust- no giblets. Cuss factor: Now if I need to explain this to you, your parents missed the boat on acceptable social vocabulary. But to be fair, The Fantastic Mr. Fox does have a low cuss factor- even though he says the word 'cuss' many times.
