I everything Sherlock Holmes. Some are great and some are sad. This one falls on the sad end of the spectrum. I would have enjoyed this so much more if the stories were more scooby doo where the ghosts and spirits are all just illusions and trickery. It would have been much more Sherlockian to expose fakers than to go down this road.

There are many sad gamer flicks out there. Made by gamers, for gamers. Almost all of them are painful to watch (with the possible exception of Knights of Badassdom). Not so this one my dear Frodo. Yes, we know its going to be the usual set of DnD characters, but when they opened with rogue in a dungeon humor, I was willing to stick around for more. Oh dear, so much more. So much more, and done so well. Humor! Plot twists! Decent acting! Wow. Just like a real movie. Even the special effects were well designed camera tricks and compositing, creating magic within the budget without looking cheezy. They fit the movie, just like the effects on the scene changes. Thank you. I enjoyed it.

I wasn't sure about this, i just started watching on Netflix one night. Wow what a surprise. Yes, there's a little relationship quasi-drama, but that just makes the good parts even better. Alison Brie's campy over-the-top performances while she searches for her character are hilarious. And I'm glad to see a series for Marc Maron. It must have been written for him from the start. Nobody else could portray Sam the way he does. By the end of the series, with the girls in the ring, I'm rolling on the floor laughing at the whole thing. Great satire of pro-wrestling, and great acting by all the principals. Looking forward to the next installment.
