Brains, Blood, Boomsticks, & Broods

You couldn’t have lower expectations about a movie at the title screen. It looks like you’re about to watch a blown out version of Sabotage by the Beastie Boys filmed in 1988 with a hand held VHS Camcorder. On top of that when the movie gets going you better have read the back of the DVD. The only dialogue I could understand was “Hi I’m Barry.” “Oh I’m Robert. Nice to meet you.”  However, somehow, it’s the first movie that managed to keep Luke awake in the last 3 weeks in spite of his faux swine flu.

It builds.

I can’t explain it. I’m not sure how he did it. But when you’re done with it you realize how much genius was wasted on The Lord of the Rings. Dammit Peter Jackson why aren’t you making more guys “drool” on screen?! This movie has a bigger body count than Scarface, Rocket Houses, Vomit Rituals, Recycled Brains, Amazing Head Explosions, hemorrhoidal aliens, and a 1970 Ford Capri GT MkI European model. What it doesn’t have are women. Yes. This movie was a gloriously one sided affair with all of the “undertones” you would expect.

We laughed our asses off.

This definitely works best as a group, though one of the six of us was strangely silent. You do have to get past the first WTF 10 minutes or so and then you’ll be well on your way. There is a plot,probably, but unless you were born in New Zealand you won’t be able to confirm it. And the only special feature (yes subtitles would be special on this DVD) were freeze frames from the film.  The movie as a whole seems rather low budget, however by the time they blow up a car, the side of a house, and 5-6 heads you realize PJ may have had a little cash behind him. Well worth the watch and it steadily climbed over other schlock as it went on.
