Movie backlog

Posted to Movies category

On DVD..

Baby Snakes - Frank Zappa

I was expecting this to be weird with a lot of good music. I thought it was boring with very little music. It was pretty weird, but more of a disturbing than funny way. Shane watched more of it than I did, as I found other things to do around the house after an hour and a half of it.

Eric Idle's Personal Best

Clips from Monty Python. Was very good, the intro wasn't that well done, not sure if Eric Idle wrote it or just agreed to act in it. Could have used more special features.

For Your Consideration

Wasn't as funny as I had hoped. Shane rates it two treasures for Fred Willards performance.

The Looney Tunes Golden Collection

These were really well restored and the special features were great. I had expected them to be in chronologic order. We've seen the first 3 DVDs. The first one was all Bugs, then second was a mix of Daffy and Porky and the third was all mixed. So far there hasn't been a Foghorn Leghorn, but I think we've seen at least one of all the major characters.

Hellboy: The sword of storms

This was enjoyable. I like the Hellboy characters, even tho I've never read the comics. It got boring toward the end where it seemed to wrap up a little too conveniently.

Funny Money

A Chevy Chase movie I'd never heard of. I really should avoid these. While it had a lot of little funny moments, it was more frustrating to watch than anything else. It was too predictable and a little too stupid. Too much of it was over the top and not believable even for a comedy.

Fast Food Nation

This wasn't really even a clever movie. We get it, butchering cows is gross, illegal immigrants get screwed over. This movie spend 45 minutes getting us interested in characters that never did anything. The last part of the movie was just preachy and gross.

Stranger than Fiction

Good movie but not great. Funny concept but a little long.

God, the Universe and Everything Else

It was very interesting. I didn't realize how old the recording was, this was a recording of a 1988 BBC talk show. The guests were amazing, but the host never really engaged them. It was very dry and hard to sit thru, luckily it was only 50 minutes long.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: Secret Agent, Super Dragon

MST3K never really disappoints. This was a pretty solid episode.
