Quick question, I'm a but lost in translation, what does it mean when people call someone a "drip" or "drippy" =P

[PhantomReviews]

@BeautyxinChains It means weak, unexciting, no personality, wimpish, unimpressive

[Peadarisback]

what about doing a review of Notre dame de Paris by Victor Hugo? Or one of it's adaptations (though the adapations are terrible compared to the novel)

[PhantomReviews]

I reviewed 3 Hunchback movies in my "Phantom Spinoffs" special, part 2.

can you review Mary Reliy? I know it's not a classic but I would love to hear your review of it.

[PhantomReviews]

I havent actually seen it, although i do want to. If you like J/H you should check out the BBCs "Jekyll", totally awesome series.

mr hyde is freaky

[LerouxFan]

Love this movie! Have you seen the musical by Frank Wildhorn? It is more based on this movie than the book, and the music is stunning.

1:31 God DAMN!  Is that freaky!

I remember watching this in Writer's Craft class when we were studying Carl Jung's theory and this movie does a good job as an example. The effects kind of remind me of the effects in Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast where they're more reliant on tricks and illusions than the overused CGI effects we're so used to.They're very impressive for their time and I really hope moviemakers do more of that in future 'cause they're so much more effective than computers.

Mr. Reviewer, I love your reviews. I like most of your opinions regarding this film, but I disagree with your take on the Spencer Tracy version. It has been a while since I saw it, but I remember it being really good. I was especially impressed by how damn evil Spencer Tracy could be, and I thought that he showed fantastic talent selling Hyde WITHOUT Jerry Lewis-monkey make-up. Do you think there's anything positive about it or should I re-watch it to prove to myself that it sucks?
