Everyone’s a critic

Here are the Amazon DVD reviews of one Mr. M. E. B. Woods “markbernard1981″ (Bristol, UK).  There are three of them and they warmed my cockles.

Some choice observations (apply a sic to everything):

From Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot: “Stalone thinks he’s hard cos he plays a cop who doesn’t play by the rules. Big deal. Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson didn’t played even less by the rules better.”

From Shallow Hal: “Someone told me that Steven Siegal was in this movie as a cameo, I watched it three times and there wasn’t a single reference to him.”

From My Giant: “A lot of the times Billy Crystal has more lines than my giant which is ludacris.”

I assume that Mr. M. E. B. Woods “markbernard1981″ (Bristol, UK) is perfectly sane, lucid and just having a wee laugh, but they tickled me.
