Whenever we read Rob Nelson's byline on a Weekly film review, we picture Mike Nelson of Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame. One of those Nelsons has a new website, RiffTrax, that allows you to download Rob, er, Mike's commentary to certain movies and blast it from your computer while watching that DVD you rented from Netflix or Blockbuster (or keep in your home collection, Sicko!). Up currently: the Patrick Swayze masterpiece Road House. Coming up: Bruce Willis and The Fifth Element. All Nelson needs to do now is re-build Crow and Tom Servo.
