Movie Review – Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (2008)

Starring – NPH, Nathon Fillion, Felicia Day & Simon Helberg
Director – Joss Whedon
Domestic Gross – Unreleased
Running Time - 42 minutes

I’m an unabashed lover of all things Whedon. I’m also a huge NPH fan. So, it’s not surprising that I loved Dr. Horrible. During the writer’s strike last year Joss Whedon put together this project and released it for free online in three acts. After watching the first one I heard that it would be released on DVD so I stopped watching the rest and decided to wait. The other day I picked this up from Amazon (where it is being sold exclusively) and watched it immediately. Dr. Horrible is a musical that follows NPH as Dr. Horrible’s efforts to become a world renowned supervillian and be accepted in to the Evil League of Evil all while trying to impress the girl at the laundromat. Everyone is cast perfectly. NPH is outstanding. So, is Helberg in his minor role as “Moist” the less intimidating supervillian. It’s about the length of an hour-long TV show so definitely take the time to check it out. I’m pretty sure you can still see it on YouTube.
