“Sorcerer captures girlfriend of nerd. Nerd dons computer as wristwatch. Sorcerer makes nerd transport to different locations to unconvincingly fight creatures. Nerd finally beats sorcerer in last scene and rescues girlfriend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSome friends and I *actually* paid $6.00 to see this in an empty theater on opening weekend – a saturday, I think, at the 9:00 p.m. show. The most interesting thing about it was they showed a 15 minute short film about extreme sports – in order to pad out the running time of the movie, which is just barely as long as your standard Disney animated feature.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI was surprised to see Richard Moll in it at first, but looking at his other body of works, Iu0026#39;m no longer surprised.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI laughed (at the movie), I cried (after I realized I paid to see it), it became a part of me (I canu0026#39;t get the memory of the damn thing out of my head short of putting a bullet in it).”
