These films are few and far between nowadays. Eight Legged Freaks, springs to mind as a similar example. I'm sure there were more when I was a kid. Perhaps I should start going back to the video store. Maybe there are not as many that look as good as this. Performs within it's budget and audience and that's what makes it work. It's pretty gruesome in places as well so you don't know whether to laugh or be sick. Not sure if I like it or love it but I have seen it three times now so, Meh!!!!

Role Models - Not good comedy ones though
OK, so it's not that bad. But it is the kind of run of the mill comedy that will make you laugh once, no repeat viewings. You know, like Police Academy sequels. It's saved by the actors really as they are all good, and the presence of 'McLovin' is a bonus indeed. The best bits are the bizarre dialogue exchanges that Wheeler and Danny have with Gayle Sweeny. Priceless. Other than that it can be a bit too feel good without the payoff.Monday, 2 February 2009
W. - Look away George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Brother Jonathon
Been an Oliver Stone movie fan since Platoon blew me away as teen. I say 'movie' fan as I think he's a bit up his own arse with his politics. But away with thee, this is a captivating little ditty. The cast is superb, although Thandie is back to crap in this one. The man Dreyfuss though is electric. He has not made enough movies in his life. It's gripping, it was bound to be, have you seen Jeff K??Alas, I wish that OS hadn't made the boy George to be such a dick, not directly maybe, but you can see and hear the little digs. Whatever you think Oliver, he was your president for eight years, so what does that say about you and yours.

Fred Claus - Christmas time for Hitler and Germany??
So were they trying to make a Christmas turkey?? Proving that the Christmas story has limited parameters?? I don't know. I mean I know it bombed, but I'm not sure. A lot of this is funny and a lot more of it appears to be tongue-in-cheek. Just look at the cast involved, so many great actors. Some of the 'dramatic' scenes are so humorous they must have been playing us. At the end of the day people, it's a time for fun, family and kids. So run with, I love it!!I don't think they ever really explained why Elizabeth Banks was hanging around in that sexy Xmas number, and I really don't think they needed to.

Zack & Miri make a porno - Keep your clothes on and drink some Cherry Wine, Uh huh

So Kevin 'theman' Smith returns with another of his filthy love stories. It IS Kevin Smith by numbers but what do you expect. Much like QT the man makes movies for himself, and if you don't like them, I doubt he's that bothered. Sharp dialogue and sharper observations and lots of it ....pretty dirty. This is one of his best. Some of the regulars are here, with Mewes on sparkling form. I get to pick a porn name....I want to be Pete Jones. And I loved the scene with Schwalbach. This is date movie material and if I take you to see it, you better be laughing with me, 'cos The Kevster is my god. Note - I may be biased and I may be babbling
