*** FIREBALL THIS MOVIE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

I just returned from the movies with my friend, Jon Trudel, and we both
agreed that immediate review was in order for the movie, "THE DUNGEON
MASTER".

The movie is based on the old "Pass these tests or the girl gets it!" idea.
There were seven of these - each one right out of an Advanced Dungeons and
Dragons scenario.  In fact, the impression I got was that "The Dungeon
Master" was written by a Dungeon Master complete with what the author
thought should be the players and their reactions.  Personally I feel I
could have written a better script given the idea (which is original in the
fact that no one has taken a D&D scenario (crappy as it may be) and turned
it into a movie.

	Most of the wit came from the audience and not "The Dungeon Master."
Some examples:

	"If you do not find your girlfriend in one hour she will be knifed.
	 Get the point?..."

     The hero was sleeveless wearing padded armor when the villian asked,

	"What do you have up your sleeves?"

	That was our cue to yell out "What sleeves?!?!"

     In reply to one of the villian's propositions our hero said,

	"Just one word.  Forget it."
	Maybe he meant "Just two words" or maybe he meant "Forgetit."


	Well?  Comments, flames?
