Hello and welcome to Suspended Animation’s “Movie Hopper Review”. Granted, we here at Suspended Animation do have a natural gift for “unique” comedy and entertainment, it does help to have outside influences. Instead of just making an eccentric list of artists, cartoons, and comic books, we thought we might share some eccentric movie influences too. Keep in mind that these movies aren’t always high in box office sales. Hell! Most of these films never even made it to the box office!
ANYHOO! None of us here are professional movie critics, but we do love the “less-popular” movies enough to form an opinion. In fact, we’ve embraced the unique movie genre phenomenon and formed these movie reviews just for you. WE know what you’re thinking. WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH COMIC BOOKS? The simple answer is: Nothing, but if you’ve made it this far into the web site, chances are you’re on the same page as us. So enjoy!

He has saved the world on several occasions and now he is called forth to solve the case of the missing Pearl Necklace which has been stolen by the Radio Active Bionic Big Foot.
