Can I get that 70 minutes back of my life??? Found on Netflix in the Gay & Lesbian streaming section, the premise of the movie had promise but failed as a small theater group from Seattle with probably only a camcorder and a script filmed this movie about Gay Zombies.
In the movie, a group of "confirmed bachelors" met up at a summer lake house for drinks and some show tunes and get invaded by other "confirmed bachelors" who got stung by a mosquito and turned into flesh eating queer zombies who will break out into a choreographed dance number if a good tune comes on the radio, especially one that is being held over one's head in an all out "Say Anything" moment.
Stereotypes galore, I don't think this movie was to be taken seriously. Laughing at the absurd jokes and writing, this was beyond bad. The film, which apparently got many official mentions at various local film festivals looks more like a good you tube video than a bad film.
Overall, the movie per description on NetFlix was captivating, the movie wasn't... although I could not turn away from this little film that didn't.

RATING: 4/5
Really called "The Boat That Rocked", our video release "Pirate Radio" was a fun ride last night. Taking me down a trip on memory lane when I was a teenager helping a friend with a pirate radio station. Rebels, we were. These guys were something that I had always wanted to be, DJs. The music was awesome, the story was one that needed to be told, the actors were good. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and what it represented.
On the bottom side, there truly was not an "villian" in the mix. Yes, the government was trying to take down the station and the DJs, but in the end they didn't. They got a hole in their boat which wasn't that exciting, but was heartwarming to see that the "fans" cared sooo much about them to rescue their sinking ship. Unlike "Pump Up The Volume" were the feds were chasing Christian Slater. So with that, you don't feel like any one won or lost in the movie. I felt sad when all those vinyls were destroyed in the movie and hope that there was a disclaimer after the credits that said "No vinyl was harmed during the making of this movie".
One of the best (funniest) parts in the movie for me was when Young Carl was trying to save Bob Silver and Bob is trying to save his record collection. All taking place under water. He finally is allowed to take one with him and once he comes up out of the water, Dave begins to help raise them out of the water, sees the record that was grabbed and throws it back in the water saying it was crap. That would be soooo me and I had to laugh at that.
All in all, the movie was about a piece of history in BritRock and was told well... Give it a go!!!

RATING: 4.5/5
This movie is loosely based on "Pirates of Penzance" with bad 80's cheesy pop songs, sung by Christopher Atkins and Kristy McNichol. First off, after the "Blue Lagoon", I had a hard on for Christopher Atkins. My inner lesbian came out during "Little Darlings" when I remember having a crush on Little Kristy McNicol.
The movie is very dated, don't get me wrong, but so are soooo many other movies at that time and who can't appreciate a good 80's comedy. Any one who has seen this movie knows that it will NEVER when any type of award for it's artistic merits, the cast looks like they had so much fun making it and I doubt anyone took it seriously then.
But I have to say that the movie would be nothing without the performances of "The Pirate King" and the "Major General", who give the movie movie the priceless comedy found in the movie. The movie is a bit of a cult classic. It is one of those movies that you either LOVE or HATE. No one is truly on the fence over this movie.
But the movie does make you wonder who the movie's target demographic was based on the good clean family fun, where this movie was place in the video stores in the 80's, and teenage sexual innuendos that are found in it. Over all, the movie is like to trip down memory lane for me and I just can't get enough.

RATING: 4/5
I enjoyed this flick. Samuel L was super psycho and you knew what his issue was for the beginning. It had a good plot and the acting was good. We were attached to the movie and were wanting to see what happened next and how they would stop him. Good job!

RATING: 5/5
"What's in the box?" Oh, how we love this movie and not just because it is Gwyneth Paltrow's head (oops, did I spoil it?). Awesome cast, awesome plot and awesome acting. If you have not seen this movie yet, add it and bump this baby to the top of your must see list. You will not be disappointed (unless you really like Paltrow).

RATING: 4/5
This is a good thriller that needs to be added to your queues. Even though it is a bit old, the movie keeps you intrigued and you are constantly trying to figure out what is real and what is not. I don't care more for Michael Douglas, but I have to say he is a good person to mess with in the role.

RATING: 4.5/5
Not just because this is Disney, but I really did enjoy this. It was totally out of this world. The characters are just that, characters, although I wish Disney would stop using "stars" as voices cause you really have trouble getting their faces out of your minds and focusing on the story it's self.
