Movie Munchies

Overview

Beginnings

Movie Munchies are a series of reviews by Mario Gamer. They were started on May 1, 2005 with The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Since then, over 50 movies have been reviewed. One comes out generally every week. The term "Munchies" was just the first word that Mario Gamer thought of that started with M. They started out with just a few sentences but lately, have grown to several paragraphs.

Layout

The current and standard layout is the poster, the review, the score, then a quote from the movie.

Overrated Controversy

In late 2005 people started complaining on how high each score was and only one earning lower then a 6/10. In 2006 Mario Gamer introduced a tougher system to cut down on higher grades.

Wario Tamer Incident

On Decmeber 9, 2005 a member by the name of Wario Tamer bumped each movie topic and added his own "munchies". They were made to reverse what Mario Gamer had reviewed earlier. As you can tell Wario Tamer is a obvious take off of Mario Gamer. This member was later found out to be Mugenmidget during the Phishfest Fiasco.
