DEAD-WANT-WOMEN-front1500

DVD Review: BREAKING WIND

breaking wind

Lionsgate has just released the absurd parody of the TWILIGHT series, BREAKING WIND. And, as can be expected, this movie is a sophomoric little ditty with plenty of crude and crass jokes. In the first few minutes alone, I counted several oral sex jokes alone. That’s almost a new world record. With some silly casting [...]

paul mia henry hopper 001

Famed director Gus Van Sant mostly dropped the ball in this often amateurish seeming offbeat story of a depressed, disillusioned and troubled young man, Enoch Brae, who largely gives up on life due to his grief after his parents are killed in an automobile accident. He develops a strange fascination with death and crashing funerals [...]

DVD Review: BUCKY LARSON: BORN TO BE A STAR

bucky larson

Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison film production company must have made BUCKY LARSON so that JACK AND JILL would look like CITIZEN KANE by comparison. BUCKY LARSON is so bad that even the most open of minds would be hard pressed to find one single redeeming feature for this simply awful movie which actually received a [...]
