Wacky Credits:
None worth mentioning
Final Stupor of Thought:
Well, this blew more than the original. So, once again, unless you’re a Band/Moon fan, you probably outta pass it or just see the first one unless you’re a sequel hound. It does however have the bonus feature of Shatner interviewing Stan Lee from the Master’s of Horror for some reason. That IS worth watching. Otherwise, go grab Killer Bud with Bud Bundy and give it a watch if you haven’t already. If you have, then run out and grab Up on dvd today along with Cars and Monster’s Inc on blueray in addition to Logan’s Run, The Watchmen Ultimate Cut and 40 years of Sunny Days the Best of Sesame Street. Awesome! Nothing like watching them explain the death of Mr. Hooper to puppets. Just brings a tear to one’s eye thinking about it. Best TV show ever. Oh, and grab Clone Wars season 1 if you haven’t already.
I Punk being of sound mind and body (ya that’s a laugh), go nite, nite again.

But, the spirit of Halloween has decided that it’s time to level out the playing field and restore a bit or normalcy to the town by interweaving the evenings of all of the bad eggs and taking care of a few other matters of business along the way.
Snipit:
Mr. Wilkins to Charlie – (Mr. Wilkins)”That can’t be good for your diabetes Charlie?” (Charlie)”Uggggggh.” (Mr. Wilkins)”Don’t waste a good lie on this. It’s just candy. I’ve got more.

Henry to Emma – (Henry)”Hey don’t blow the pumpkin candle out. Your supposed to keep it lit. It’s tradition.” (Emma)”Whatever. It’s Halloween not Hanukkah.”
Final Stupor of Thought:
This was fun. Worth seeing at least once. Some stuff that you won’t expect, some stuff you go, “What?” and some laughs mixed in with a few first time jolts and spirit of Halloween character that is really, really awesome. It’s four separate story’s woven together nicely. Reminiscent of Hoodwinked. I movie a love. So rent it, buy it, give it a watch and have fun with it. Just pick it up while you are out perusing Transformers II, Blood: The Last Vampire, Faulty Towers remastered, The Gary Shandling show collection, Peanuts 1970 V1 and Vegas season 1. That’s right Vegas season 1. I said it.

Hey, it’s a Charles Band movie. You know, Full Moon? You gotta see it!. The creatures, the toys, the figures and/or the dolls are always good for a laugh as is the dialogue.

And, Disney, well it’s just Disney and always worth having.

Tommy to Kelvin – (Tommy)”An AK-47 are you kidding me! Everyone knows you need an exorcist for anything as powerful as a possessed dildo!”
Final Stupor of Thought:
Well, this film didn’t go anywhere. A lot of cool ideas and odd directions that were just all jumbled up. And, the burning of the cooking on a cross with a crown of thorns! That was not only not funny and done for no real reason other than tying in the subtitle name, it was just wrong. Well, okay mostly wrong the other toys with hammers and nails was kinda funny. However, the cumulative screen time of about 20 minutes that the Gingerdead Man has is classic as are the new Full Moon figures that come to life in addition to the elf throwing a temper tantrum. But, other than that, this movie didn’t explain much of anything nor go in any coherent direction for very long before it jumped the tracks again. So, check it out just so you can say you have seen it before Gingerdead Man 3, Saturday Night Cleaver comes out. Otherwise go out and grab Star Trek TOS S2, Terminator S2, and the Haunted World of El Superbeasto out of DVD today.

When a drunken down and out stock broker who just lost his job, his money and his girlfriend awakens on an old school bus with surfers and hippies headed for a secluded beach in the middle of nowhere Baja Mexico, he’s not sure this is where he wants to be especially when drug lords start pushing around the locals, the farmer who’s beach they are staying at is blown up and a donkey eats the buses’ distributor cap but when a surfer with cancer gets him to clam down, relax and start enjoying himself, the world seems to be turning around for him until El Neno moves in and cops in cahoots with the drug lords surround them leaving them all hold up in the bus unless someone or a perhaps even a donkey can save the day.
Snipit:
Brandt to Carson – (Brandt)”I don’t need to be cheered up by some ex patriot bum. Why don’t you get off your ass and do something productive!” (Crason)”Good Idea. I think I’ll go teach that outhouse a lesson!”
Rating:
(2) Prozac’s (barely) and some Voltaren gel for: leaving you oven in the front yard, sleeping under the bus, a fireworks fight, eating shrooms with the donkey, a speed buggy, a beach pig, a Mexican MacGuyver, claiming to be Mormans to stay out of trouble, and YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Pepe the part time narrator and full time attack donkey nth!

Other Memorable Lines:
Unis to TK – (Unis)”What’s the Hasselhoff?”
Brandt to TK – (Brandt)”Were in Baja?” (TK)”Yes, it’s vacation time.” (Brandt)”What! In the middle of no where with no waiters bringing me drinks as I get laid by the pool, it’s no vacation!”
MacKenzie to TK – (MacKenzie)”A Peso for your thoughts?”
Brandt to TK – (Brandt)”Where am I?” (TK)”You are right here.”
Final Stupor of Thought:
Well, this movie blows. The donkey could have been classic but just didn’t get used enough. It does pick up a tiny bit at the end and that with the donkey pushed it up to the two prozacs. Just barely. So, check it out or don’t. The donkey may be worth the evening depending on how your evenings stack up. Otherwise, let’s put it this way. The people I was watching it with fell asleep. However, there is merit in that. Cheap sleeping medication alternative and/or a study material on how to not make a movie with components that do have classic possibilities. My average advice, just go out and get Crank II, The special editions of Mad Monster Party & Bedknobs and Broomsticks or, Fring S1, Parks and Recreation S1, and The Office S5.

Hicks to group – (Hicks)”The transformer is fried. Some moron grabbed it with both hands!” (Elisa)”Was it Wesley?” (Hicks)”Have you ever seen what 200,000 volts does to ones complexion?”
Final Stupor of Thought:
Well, this bad boy was a bit creepy in spots and had a lot of potential. Maybe it was the editing, maybe it was the writing, maybe it was the directing or maybe it was just a bunch of Catholicism that I didn’t understand, but it seemed to not really go anywhere and/or explain much of anything. However, it was still decent enough to capture my attention without knowing I had lost 90 minutes. So, since there isn’t really anything worthwhile coming out on dvd to won this week, you can save your money for a better release week and rent this baby to get you buy until then.

Final Stupor of Thought:
Well, this kinda left me looking for one. A final stupor of thought that is. Some pretty laughable ideas executed, directed and/or cut poorly. But, the final battle made it worth struggling through the other tired Canadian jokes and consecutive lame bits. But, hey not much coming out on DVD today so go out and give it a watch while your out getting I Love You Man, The Superfriends - The Lost Episodes, and Are you Being Served the complete series. Besides, chances are if you are reading this that you have has much alone time on your hands as I do so you’ll need something to keep from staring into the abyss so give it a rent. I did and it’s not a complete yawner. It’s not even in my top 10 worst movies ever.

Oh ya, a 70’s classic in classic 70’s style with popping in and out magic and dubbed in glowing special effects. You gotta see this drunk or otherwise.

A cancelled TV series pilot, disco effects, an indescribable sound track and some caffeine mixed with sugar or otherwise with a few friends and you’ve got an evening right there. So, go out and pick it while at the vid store or most likely on line when you are out spending that hard earned babysitting and lawn mowing money on all of the great DVD releases this week which include but are not limited to, Battlestar Galactica II season 4.5 or the complete series, The Middleman the complete series, Torchwood season 3, Dollhouse season one, Green Lantern First flight (with an action figure at Best Buy), Dr. Who Planer of the Dead, The Spectacular Spiderman season one, and the original Green Hornet movies.

This forces the remaining kids and their teachers to come together as team and enter the 5th dimension, the dream dimension, and do battle with the evil doctor to save their classmate and the world.
Snipit:
Evil Dr to Boss – (Dr.)”Hey, I am a classic. Low self esteem, Dysfunctional. Over compensating with grandiose delusions.

The uniforms are quite tasteful and as you can see we prefer to keep a low profile.”
Sean to mother – (Sean)” We would like to help your daughter and offer an alternative to mutant camp.” (Mother)”In what a stripper club?”
Final Stupor of Thought:
Oh baby, this gem is usually on the lists of the worst comic book movies of all time. But, Frewer’s part makes this movie watchable and entertaining when you are hyped up on pixie stixs, razzels and mountain dew. Give it a watch so that you can say with pride, “Ya I’ve seen that.” And, who knows you may just find yourself giggling out loud at Frewer’s wackiness. Did I mention that I love Max Headroom? Otherwise run out a grab the Peanuts 1960’s redux box set and the complete Those Who Hunt Elves or maybe Push because everything else out on DVD today pales in comparison to Generation X the movie!

Snipit:
Andy to group – (Andy)”This country is in chaos! We are going to stay in these woods. At least until morning!”
Rating:
(1-1/2) Prozac’s and some Prometh (because it did have a new twist on an ending) for: tying a zombie to a perfectly good bed, flu like symptoms, the men in white suits, filming your own death, rubber duckies, and ohhh boy, about an hour and a half of Bam Margera sneaking around to beat up zombies in the dark…
Food:
A few thin sliced pork chops with hashbrowns and ketchup, a bag of swirlmallows, some Wonka Tinglerz, a few bags of edible Easter Grass, some peeps, and sixer of cream soda or whatever keeps you wired.
Other Memorable Lines:
It is hard to believe but unlike some of the worst movies I have ever seen, Gunhead, Outlaw of Gor, The Bobo, Blue Justice, Dr. Otto and the Ridde of the Gloom Beam, this actually had a couple of other chucklers that shook me out of my trance.
Andy to group – (Andy)”Is there anything in here we can pinch?”
Matt to group – (Matt)”Damnit! We need a more gun friendly society like the U.S.”.
Final Stupor of Thought:
This movie pretty much blows. No wonder they needed enticing cover and disk art. DAMN IT sucked in again. But, that’s what makes this fun. You just never know. So, the Spirit is out on DVD this week. Which is just about as good as this movie so you make the call. As for me, I think I would spend my money on Slaughter High and EXO Squad Season 1 out on DVD tomorrow as well.

Snipit:
Mac to Snuffy – (Mac)”So, when did you and uncle Merv do all of this zombie hunting pop?” (Snuffy)” Right after we first got the ranch. Why do you think we got it so cheap?

Let’s go.” (Mac)”I think we have enough horses.” (Snuffy)”Probably already infected. You ever ride a zombie horse boy? I have. It ain’t no fun.”

Final Stupor of Thought:
So, this movie IS classic. Worth putting into the movie collection next to Monsturd, Retardead, Jack Frost and Uncle Sam. Mix in a monkey, a robot, a midget and more of the puppet, and this would be a gem of gems with a bit more dialogue. But, hey who needs more dialogue with a tourettes zombie and zombie’s stealing cars? So, while you are out and about today picking up Star Wars the Clone Wars, Quantum of Solace, The Watchmen – The Black Freighter, and Venture Brothers season 3 on DVD, garb this baby and throw a Friday night party for a viewing. Or, get Charles in Charge season 4. You make the call. I did. Nicloe Eggert or chainsaws and wheelchairs. You flip the coin.

Final Stupor of Thought:
Monsturd ruled and this is a sweet follow up. Just could have used a midget. However, they do give you a free copy of the soundtrack with the purchase of the DVD. It’s inside. And, YES! It does include the classic theme song by the Monkey’s with Machine Guns and also has the Monsturd balled on it. So, head out and buy this sucker now while your out picking up Pinocchio on blueray tomorrow (remember Disney gives a regular DVD copy with your blueray purchase) along with Transporter 3, Role Models, Howard the Duck and the remastered Disney Witch Mountain special edition movie pack.

I hired one to take care of your chicks.” RAPID GUNFIRE INSUES (Hiroshi)”Perhasps you should have hired two.”
Final Stupor of Thought:
Verging on a ramped up risqué version of a Disney movie this one is definitely worth searching out for a night of laughs, giggles and hot chicks. And, besides it has magic sword fighting sparks with Herculoid sound effects. If you don’t understand the word Herculoid, use your computer words to look up Herculoids and then watch one on line or on Boomerang. Ahhhh happy fun.

This is a gut chuckler that makes fun of everyone and everything going on in the world right now. So, if you can handle all of the stuff that is in bad taste and just laugh at the society around us, this is enjoyable and was even better the second time I saw it. Why not five prozacs you ask? Well, it had some slow parts and really didn’t make a lot of continuity sense in order to get all of the jokes in. So, just enjoy it for what it is. Otherwise go buy Deathrace or Doctor Horrible’s sing along blog out on DVD tomorrow cause you know damn well nobody is going to be buying you those for Christmas.

Julio to Fred – (Julio)”Who do you think would win a fight between Bruce Lee and Chuck the Truck Turner?” (Fred)”What! Are you kidding! The Truck easy. He’s the eight year undefeated kick boxing champion! Can Bruce Lee say that? No, Bruce Lee is dead!”
Fred to Denise – (Fred)”Jujitsu sucks. What you want is Taw Kwan Do. It’s got everything. Mental. Physical.” (Denise)”That’s good I am into Yoga and love meditation.” (Fred)”Meditation is good and all but, I’ve never heard of it saving anyone from a gang rape situation. Meditate on that!”
Fred to Suzi – (Fred)” I think someone who doesn’t have a degree should just hold to what they know. Which in your case is what? Dental, dentistery?” (Suzi)”Dentistry!” (Fred)”Dentistry? Whatever. I can’t even believe that’s something that’s real.”
Final Stupor of Thought:
Well, this was an okay chuckle to get you in the smiling mood for the season. A little slow kind of like a bunch of Saturday Night Live segments strung together. But, it did have it’s belly laugh moments. So, check it out if you need to unwind from say a shopping trip where you had to dodge and fight three or four hundred selfish wackos. Otherwise grab the Batman out on DVD today in addition to Horton Hears a Who and Lost Season Four. Or, just wait for the weekend and the new heat miser & snow miser Christmas special. Sweeeeeeeeeet nth!
Punk go cry himself to sleep now.
