You Don't Mess With The Zohan

Well what can I say?
It came to a point where I nearly fell off the couch from laughing. The plot isn't actually what i expected. The whole sex content was a pleasant surprise to me in a humorous way and well let's face it, it's Adam Sandler!

The film covers mild black humor like pain and explosions blahblahblah. It does some genius parodying including the israelis vs. the Arabs, crappy electronics and the hairdresser element and of course it's got some great painful slapstick. Oh and how can i not mention it has that Adam Sandler element signed on the side. 

I'll admit some of Sandler's latest movie choices haven't been so great and there were' moments in the movie where i thought the joke was so-so but when you catch those moments where he just says the most hilarious shit or even just watching him work his Sandler magic you'll know it was worth it watching this film. His performance kind of reminds me of Sacha Baron Cohen's kick-ass epic creation that should be revered by the masses as Borat. He has the similar accent going but that's the only thing that triggers the memory. The rest is Adam Sandler all the way.

So i loved the film, you should love the film, we should all love the film.  Sandler's take on the Israeli Hair-Stylist/Anti-Terrorist  Death/Sex Machine was just pure awesomeness. I now dub Adam Sandler the Sandman. Because he did his magic sand thing on us, Sand is in his last name(duh) and let's face it, it sounds cool. 8 out of 10 from me to this very bad-ass film.

Pump Up The Volume

Well after many attempts in catching this movie I finally saw it!! You can find it at supernovatube.com. That's where I caught it. 

Well I do have to say it wasn't what I expected. I was looking forward to another radio comedy like Air Heads(great film) but it was even better. It was a kick-ass deep film disguised as a teenagers revenge. Lots of naughty themes, teenagers swearing and plenty of dialogue spreading the message that adults suck.  Hit the screens right on 1990. The year, the void between the 80's and 90's where anything sucked and everything was evolving.

Starring Christian Slater as Harry Hard-On with a kick-ass soundtrack happening. You've got the Pixies, Sonic Youth, The Descendants and heaps of other great artists to remember I gotta say I really loved this film. It kept rolling on without getting me bored, had some serious moments but pulled right back before anyone started getting blubbery and Christian Slater does a pretty awesome job himself.

I don't want to say anymore because this is one of the few films I don't want to give away the ending to. But I'll just say this, the ending left me disgruntled about it afterwards. You can decide for yourself what you think so I'm giving 9 out of 10.
Yes you heard me 9 out of 10.

A great cult film for angry teens who couldn't be stuffed to do anything about everything but still like to rage on in their own lazy ways about anything. 
Definitely gotta' watch this one.
