The First of my Re-enactment series. This is me, re-enacting a scene from the 1971 movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." I play the part of both Grandpa Joe and Willy Wonka in this pivotal scene where Grandpa Joe confronts Wonka in his office inquiring him on Charlie's lifetime supply of chocolate. Wonka is less than pleased with Charlie's breach of contract, however. My resources were limited: I wanted to do a scene with two people, preferably men, and this came to mind. Nearing ...

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE. The Seventeenth of my Re-enactment Series. If there ever was a scene that is widely known in cinema, it's this one. In this scene from Martin Scorcese's Goodfellas, Joe Pesci's character is telling an amusing anecdote to his friends. Ray Liotta's character says he's funny, to which Pesci's character takes the wrong way... This is my first video in which I used my new GL-2, a very nice digital camera. The video quality's oustanding. This was hard because I had to ...

User "Samgrieg" on my website requested this scene to reenact. I've been wanting to do it for a while, and I finally got around to it. Great performance by Tim Curry. This one's for you.

Here it is: the full version of my Dark Knight reenactment that you guys requested. Stay tuned for the OTHER Dark Knight reenactment, the "magic trick" scene, that came in at #2. It should be uploaded in the next few days or so.

from the podcast show Geek-Week.net, a bunch of dorks dress up like superheroes and re-enact the Marvel comics series "Secret Wars"

The Eighteenth of my Re-Enactment Series. The only reason I did this video: Jeff "Freaking" Goldblum. My friends and I sat up all night doing Jeff Goldblum impersonations, ending each sentence with "and, and, if... and, well, thereitis." I have a hunch that when he gets a script, he adds a comma after 90% of the words in all of his lines. "I'm just saying that, uh, uh, life, uh, finds, a way." I concentrated on Jeff Goldblum... my impersonation of the other four characters may not be up to ...

The 22nd of my Re-Enactment Series. Number fo'. Fer sho'. In this scene from Fight Club, Brad Pitt's character proves a point to Edward Norton by threatening an asian clerk behind a convenience store. Honestly, I think this film's both underrated and overrated at the same time. On one hand, I feel sorry for David Fincher as this film didn't get the recognition it deserved until the DVD sales; the film didn't do well in theaters at all... on the other hand, EVERY SINGLE film student I ever ...

The Seventh of my Re-enactment series. Holy balls, this one took a while to finish, mainly because of the size. It clocked in as a whole gig when I had it as an .AVI. Five minutes long... this is definitely the longest one. Enjoy.

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE The 23rd of my Re-Enactment Series. A few things: 1. No, I did not lip sync, I simply added reverb to the dialogue. The audio is a bit off thanks to the video being compressed onto Youtube. I wouldn't go Milli Vanilli on you. 2. Yes, I know I failed to put in the "Sir-yes-sirs" in the beginning, simply because I didn't feel like waiting an extra hour to re-do that an export it for a fifth time. Use your imagination. In this scene from Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal ...

Inspired by 8-bit Theater, based on the Dungeons and Dragons skit done by The Dead Ale Wives. Video originally published at www.cybermoonstudios.com I did NOT create any part of this video. I am merely a reposting fan. See The Dead Ale Wives concerning the audio and Cyber Moon Studios concerning the entire video.

The 36th of my Reenactment Series. This is a great scene; probably my favorite out of your choices, everyone. Stay tuned in a few days for #4: V for Vendetta.

The 26th of my Reenactment Series. Here it is. Finally. I didn't get it in before Monday... hence, I didn't leap. Looks like I'm stuck here... dammit. (Quantum Leap references out of the way...) I KNEW some of you guys would be disappointed. It's such a great scene, and you've been waiting a long time for it. I'm hearing the same complaints: Bangs were distracting, didn't like the hair, too comical and not serious. 1. I put the "Bangs" in because I thought they were hilarious. I giggled to ...

The Fifth of my Re-enactment series. I'm not a trekkie, but I do think Star Trek: The Next Generation is a kick-ass show, rivaled only by its kick-ass movies (with the exception of the last one...). First Contact is a good example. In this scene, a woman from the 21st century is on board the Enterprise, which is slowly being overtaken by a race of aliens known as the "Borg." Captain Jean-Luc Picard does not want to self-destuct his ship, even though it is the only way to defeat the Borg once ...

The Second of my Re-enactment series. In this famous scene from As Good As It Gets, Jack Nicholson's character is a busy writer who is interrupted for a second time by his gay neighbor, who claims that Jack's character threw his dog down the garbage chute. I wanted to make myself look as gay as possible for the part of the neighbor. I got a purple shirt, unbuttoned half of the buttons, wet my hair and rubbed my eyes with water so it looked like I was crying. Unfortunately, you can hardly ...

Why the eff not.

Happy Halloween everyone! Been wanting to do this one for a while. Party City was out of white face paint, so yellow Beetlejuice it is.

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE. The 25th of my Reenactment Series. Holy clusterf$#&, you guys must have picked the hardest, longest scene in any movie, with the most characters. This is a personal record: 8 characters, about 8 minutes of dialogue, totalling up to 9 minutes and 30 seconds... this is the biggest one yet... I hope I lived up to your expectations. Also, this is where I put my Steve Buscemi impersonation to the test... I think it's getting better, but I need to exaggerate it more ...

That awesome hat belongs to: youtube.com FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER! twitter.com Pokemon Reenactment...what you think?

Today we are in Williamsburg, Va and see what it was like to live in the British colonies and fight for American independence.

This is the last reenactment I did before I moved to California a few weeks ago. This isn't to say I won't be doing any more reenactments... but they probably won't be in my parents' basement anymore. Also, a lot of you may be wondering who that woman is in the end. Her name is April, and she interviewed me for a story in Washington Post Magazine. For the interview, I let her watch me do this reenactment for her story, and I thought it'd be fun to put her in the end. Expect a behind-the ...

Here it is, the last reenactment of list #2. Enjoy. After this video, I'll be taking a break from YouTube for a couple weeks; I have some other things I need to work on. In the meantime, happy holidays, and stay tuned for more videos. Edit: The song in the end is "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds

The Eleventh of my Re-enactment series. Prediction: this may be my least watched video. Why? Because it's not exactly a current film. It's a classic James Stewart film called Harvey. It's about a man named Elwood P. Dowd who has an imaginary friend, a six-foot tall rabbit named Harvey. In this scene, he explains to his doctor in an alleyway (aka my basement) how he met Harvey. His doctor, of course, doesn't believe him. For those of you who have seen Harvey, please enjoy my rendition of it....

Re-enactment of one of many tragic and heroic Polish battles against Nazi Germans. Summer 2006. In August 1944, Polish patriotic soldiers of Home Army, trying to drive out German occupiers from Warsaw, had captured building of PWPW (Polish Factory Of Securities), made it fortress and were defending it against huge forces of Nazis and their Russian allies of fascist RONA (National Russian Liberation Army). DON'T CONFUSE POLISH AND GERMAN SOLDIERS! POLISH INSURGENT SOLDIERS WERE WEARING ...
