Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - 8 stars out of 10

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - 8 stars out of 10

"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog" isn't quite a movie and doesn't really qualify as a tv show.  It would be more appropriate to categorize it as "Awesome."  The Whedon brothers' time-passing activity during the Writer's Strike in 2008 has become a cult classic that blends comedy, musical numbers, and lovable characters.  While Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris are fantastic as the rival hero and villain, the highlight for me is Felicia Day.  Her soft singing voice and innocent, selfless disposition make her the perfect Penny and driving force of this film.  In spite of its low budget, "Dr. Horrible" provides catchy music that you will likely purchase on iTunes after your first view, as well as clever dialogue and over-the-top situations that will keep you laughing.  The best part is that this gem is only 42 minutes long, making it easy to enjoy during a lunch break or when you don't have enough time for a feature-length movie.
