If anyone is fed up with the pretentious nitwits that dictate what is good art, chances are you'll enjoy this classic campy tale. The protagonist is a weakling who works as a waiter at a beatnik coffee shop and hangs around psuedo artist snobs, sucking up their every last syllable as if it is a mocha frapuccino. He wants very much to carve a niche for himself in this group of losers and manages to do so when he makes a sculpture out of his landlady's dead cat! True to herd mentality, everyone is soon basking in this guy's coolness, singing his praises, and generally kissing his talentless behind. Only problem is, he keeps making sculptures from bodies! By the time these Bohemians catch on to the fact that this guy may not be so hip after all, the death toll has risen and laughter is abound. Also make sure to look out for the fat bearded character Maxwell, this guy is a total riot. The sad thing is every time I go to an open mike I meet some "poet" who is just like him. Great sardonic humor from the master of the macabre Roger Corman. 8/10
This is a really great example of how to adapt a hit television series into a movie. The Bradys are now living in the 90s, but the catch is that they are exactly the same as they were in the 70s. The same great Brady jokes, Brady clothes, and Brady fun. The thing for all male viewers to remember when watching this movie is that ITS ALL ABOUT CHRISTINE TAYLOR. Christine Taylor makes a delicious Marsha. There's a great line in this movie that shes "harder to get into than a Pearl Jam concert" but she could sure fool you in those short skirts and go-go boots. If after watching Christine Taylor prance around in this movie you don't feel the need to go erm....you know....you must be a eunuch or something. Some other fun things to look for in this movie are Ru Paul as a guidance counselor (freaking hilarious) and a grunge rock remdition of "Thank You Girl". Loads of fun. 8/10
For those of us who were turned on to Satanism after LaVey's death and never got a chance to see the infamous "black house" (now demolished) this is as close to it and its magic that we're going to get. The ritual sequences in this film are fantastic, the occasional infared camera work really adds to the diabolical mood. LaVey presents himself in this film as a sensitive soft spoken gentleman with a great sense of humor and a philosopher's mind, much to the dismay of many an armchair Christian. By contrast, the Christians interviewed in this film are stark, boring and dull. LaVey's flock are equally charming in this film and appear as a group of fun loving freaks who, with their arcane sense of individuality, have formed an elite think tank to be reckoned with. Each of them are truly a star in Crowley's sense of the word, as each of their colorful personalities demonstrate, (the adorable elderly woman reminds me of my grandmother). For those who want an introduction to Satanism this was/is the real deal. Shemhamforash! I give it a 9/10.
