Very interesting Lindsay......Clever Clever.....I half expected some Blair Witch action to happen tho

This is a pretty original way to do a review. The Irony of this is that MarzGirl reviewed this movie for the contest to be the Nostalgic Chick, but for some reason she hasn't posted the review on this site.

meh
I almost always love your stuff ... but well
I'm just didn't like the whole walking, shaky cam, voice trailing in and out
thing. It was quite annoying at times. I'm all for thinking out side the box and
trying new things but i just don't feel this one paid off. I the past when
you've reviewed something while 'sitting at the desk' it felt like you were
watching the clips with the viewer and talking with them. This just felt like
you have footage of you walking n talking so lets just toss in some film clips
and call it a review. :huh:

:( I'm gonna have to agree with you, my friend. Shaky camera, trailing in and out of the review too often and your friend...I LOVE your chubby friend (Spotted Dick^^) but this one...kinda annoying. Sorry. '

I made an account just so I could comment on this video.

Because oh my gawd, The Last fucking Unicorn. For the longest time, I thought this was some kind of half-remembered nightmare my weird child-mind had come up with. It wasn't until I saw the DVD in Best Buy last year that I was like "Holy fuck that was real."

This movie always confused me because it didn't seem to make any sense. What was the point of the whole thing? Everyone came out unhappier, it seems. (Except the sidekicks) That's not the greatest message to implant in a small child's mind.

Your review was done in an interesting way, but the quality is a bit bad. Your face is a big blur when you're standing on the rock.

The Last Unicorn was written by Peter S. Beagle, who was known for writing hugely bizarre sorts of stories, but also with good views of morality.

In the Last Unicorn novel, Schmendrick and Molly quickly become more of the main focus of the story as compared to Prince Lir and the Unicorn/Amalthea. Throughout the novel where Lir and the Unicorn are involved they are often self centered despite noble aims, and due to their completely different worlds, they could have no other ending besides how they had. Meanwhile Schmendrick and Molly were supportive, though sometimes griping, and willing to give up everything they had for the Unicorn, and thus were deserving of their happy ending.

I have had a lot of moments like that. "Holy crap, that was a real movie?" When I was five I saw Empire Strikes Back on video, and then the scene where Chewbacca with C-3P0 on his back as the heroes escape to the landing pad to the Millennium Falcon comes up. I must have seen it when I was two or something, because I had seen it before and always thought it was a dream. It's not the only one, and not all of them are happy.

Holy shit! You too? I also once question whether this film actually existed or not, cause I would remember scenes from it but wasn't sure if the memories were from an actual movie or not. Interesting... I guess that's just what this film gives, strange half remembered visions.

It's arboreal marshmallow hell!

Oh, and - Red Bull gives you wiiiiiiiings! :D

unrelated to the video, but why do we have the ability to rate the screen we see before the video, the one that "view the video" here thing. Anyways nice job nostalgia chick :D
a hike review? nice, and creative.

The 'screen' you see is probably the news item with a link to the video, not this page itself. You can rate the news flash AND the video!
Did you like the news flash? Good setup, good flow? Give the news flash a good rating. The mods really like it when you give their news flashes good ratings.

A very clever review; nicely done.

Very amusing. Nice to see you trying new things. Pretty good memory it seems, too. Your "fact checks" were about stuff unrelated to the movie, so Kudos.

I do seem to remember The Dork With No Name doing a very similar concept for his "Books in 5 Lines" at one point, though. So...theft? :P

Nah. And interesting way to review, at any point. :)

...see their chances walk away.

Try publishing it a little sooner than three months, you'll have more succes that way.

Oh my goodness, I used to love this movie...and yet I don't think I ever really got it. This was before I even knew what anime was, lol. I'm so with you on Molly though, she made the whole movie worth it. The Unicorn (did she ever have a name?) had almost no personality.

I like the review on location! You should do it again someplace else!

Very nice, though I'm surprised you didn't do a collaboration with MarzGurl since this was her entry. Any chance of you working with her sometime, Lindsay?

Oh my, but I remember reading this book about a billion years ago! Nobody told me there was a movie! But yes, a rather interesting format for a review, and I must say that you memory was fantastic for doing it from the woods, though you may have had a script, it was still fantastic!

Also, your number one fan is pretty hot, just thought I should say xD

Mia Farrow can't sing.

lol politics mirite

Awesome review!

Who else could carry on the typical kind of conversation that all us hikers have during long expeditions, and still make a decent video out of it? Creative use of what you have on hand Miss Nostalgia. Very resourceful.

I wouldn't advise doing this again though. It's enjoyable for this one time, but never again. Resourceful as you are, this didn't feel up to par with your normal reviews. More of a simple recap peppered with bits of commentary.

Either way, I still commend you on being able to take on a film recap during a long hike like this, not to mention find a way to connect your assignment with the movie itself. For that at least, I salute you and Lauren (and the bowtie).

:(

Enjoyable and fun video, have been looking forward to a new Nostalgia Chick for awhile now

not the greatest review....but just impressed that you did this off the top of your head

Yeah, the thing that most disturbed me about this was the boob tree... But of course as a kid I didn't see a boob tree. I saw a cock and balls tree... Very upsetting

That was an interesting way to do review the movie, it's like how people reminisce about their favorite childhood movies.

Oh but dear god that song IS awful, I always have to fast forward through it. I remember when I drunkenly forced my friend to watch the movie (after we drunkenly watched Return to Oz) I thankfully fast forwarded through that one, but I forgot that Jeff Bridges also sings a song. She practically wailed for me to find the remote and skip it. :D

:lol: Yeah that did sound terrible. Every time you played it for even a moment I was like "GYA!" *covers ears* "The pain! "

That was great xD

NOW THAT I'M A WOMAAAAAAAN

Marz should post her review of this out of spite lol (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c5cnsjJwIQ). Better yet she should do that and review Pocahontas with Goggles as well.

I'm actually not in a good mood, but I will give one star of effort for trying something different... even though it doesn't really work. This isn't a review really, it's just your recollections of what happened. The quality is about on part with the Critic's Transformers reviews. It's definitely spur of the moment, but it doesn't seem well prepared at all (which is another definition). In all honesty there's nothing interesting about this video.

Yeah, I agree. This movie deseved better. The tree didn't even get a Big Lipped Aligator Moment.

If you're gonna do The Last Unicorn, you might as well do Flight of Dragons & the Japanese versions of Swan Lake, The Wild Swans, & The Little Mermaid too. (She dies!)

It helps quite a bit if you have read the book. It is ordered a bit more logically in the book. How was the ending sad? All the unicorns were freed, and thus magic, hope, joy, and all that jazz were brought back. THe only way that can be seen as sad is if you hate unicorns and want all magic drained from the earth.

Nostalgia Chick is awesome. Have you ever seen any of her other reviews?

What da heck was with the sign at the end?

Someone apparently doesn't watch the news.

Oh GOD, that unicorn song is awful. UGH.

And did somebody compare Obama to Hitler? Wow.

Fantastic and hilarious, I loved it. :cheer:

Heh, who doesn't believe in unicorns and magic. ;) :P

It was a really interesting setup for this review (with some very nice scenery) but I think you could have utilized your (fangirl) friend just a little bit more.

I only managed to see the first half of this movie last year and the booby tree was definitely memorable. Now I want some pirate kitty! :lol:

Stay awesome, Lindsay!

Not your best work. You should get back to your roots. Everything since Xanadu has been kinda meh for me. All your recent stuff has felt really rushed.
