Let's All Go to the Movies

Watched two absurd movies...

Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar - 7/10

Sort of a gender swapped Step Brothers written by and starring Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumulo at their bizarre best. Two awkward, and far too close, middle aged best friends decide to shake off the doldrums and go on vacation. This movie is insane. It's impossible to put into words how off the wall the intertwining characters and side-plots are; love triangles, super villains, misplaced musical numbers, a Reba McIntyre cameo... it's certifiable. If you enjoy stupid humor and the comedy of Wiig then you'll probably dig this.

Willy's Wonderland - 7.5/10

Do you want to watch Nic Cage fight demonically possessed animatronic characters at a Chuck E Cheese-inspired family restaurant? Because I think you do. The quintessential example of Cage sleepwalking through the B-movies that litter his career. And you know what? It works like gangbusters. Total shlock. Ridiculous plot. Terrible acting. Brutal violence. Hilarious. Somebody said this was a rip-off of Five Nights at Freddy's. I don't know what that is. Willy's Wonderland is about as good as the modern horror-comedy can get.
 
Speaking of batshit movies, I turned off the Sixers game last night and watched Ten to Midnight with Charles Bronson. I think I remember hearing about how nuts this movie is (and that’s only a slight reference to the fact that killer murders chicks in the nude with his cock just hanging out for most of the film) but this movie is insane. Ebert gave it a 0/4. Worth a watch just for the scene where Bronson confronts the killer with what can only be described as an early 80s prototype of a Fleshlight. Not for children. On HBO Max.

Sorta feel like it should be renamed "Six to Midnight"

I guess I know what I'm doing with my day off tomorrow.
