Dr. Horrible's Sing Song Blog

Dr Horrible's Sing Song Blog starring NEIL PATRICK HARRIS and written by JOSS WHEADON and a bunch of other people namely his siblings and or cousins (they all all male and share the same last name!!)

It was conceived during the great Hollywood Writer's strike of aught-seven and aught-eight as an internet piece that became so successful that it was released on DVD, thus this blog. (Tah-dah!!!)

The shorts, three in total, are combined to make a bigger short (45 mins total) that is full of singing (no dancing), smart acting by Harris (who is the aspiring super villian Dr. Horrible) and Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) who plays his nemisis, Captain Hammer ("my hammer is my penis") who hams it up as a jocky (stupid and sex obsessed) hero.

The movie, which was shot for free and tons of dontated expertise, has great production value, a smart script, and well done songs that are as funny as they are serious.  The actors are exceptionally great (Harris especially), and the ending is actually unexpected but not hugely plot twisting like Mr. Chokes-on-own-ego   (M. Night Shyamalan).        
ps--watch the commentary.  It's sung.
