Applause for Miss E
A heart-warming comedy about mom trying to break into comedy. But apparently it’s a controversial stage play?
Border Town
A modern western of a dude who just wants his daughter who was taken by a pimp. Now he’ll take everything. And that’s the movie’s actual tagline.
A Day in the Life
What kind of name is Sticky Fingaz? Is that what passes as a gangster name in this day and age?
Dead Wood
If you’ve never seen Wrong Turn or Blair Witch Project or Deliverence, you’ll probably think this is a real original and awesome movie.
Evil Bong 2: King Bong
Dammit, Charles Band! I knew you were no Sam Raimi when it came to horror, but why did you make a movie that was nothing but half-asked weed jokes? Do you even look at your movies after completing them? That puppet bong makes your special effects in the Puppet Master series look like ILM.
Five Fingers
Am I the only one who can’t buy Fishbourne’s accent in this movie?
Flying By
Billy Ray Cyrus, fresh off his role in the Hannah Montana movie, plays a middle aged dad who must decide between his family and his dreams of being a rock star. Although being married to Heather Locklear would seem like a deal breaker, she’s such a bitch in the trailer I’d leave her to pursue a dream of working at a video store.
Garrison
Inspired by the Fort Bragg murders of 2002, Garrison actually looks like a capable thriller.
DVD Dump Pick of the Week:
Night Train
What happens when you combine three strangers, a dead body, and a box full of diamonds? A crazy ditch-the-body-take-the-money movie with a chance to see some real acting from Danny Glover and Steve Zahn.
The Prodigy
Okay, I can be pretty lenient sometimes with animation being on a budget (I know what it’s like to animate in 3D), but this is unforgivable. Just watch the scene posted below and watch as NOTHING in the clip works well.
See Dick Run
Kel Mitchell must track down the women he slept with last night. Why? Apparently one of them is a succubus who stole his genitals. Yep, it’s Dude, Where Is My Dick.
