Movie Review by Zara
April 21st, 2008

That was Biff Tannen in that role (I have no idea how to spell Tannen, Tim... lend a hand?). Heh. And Clayton Rohner, who Angela so lovingly devoted a full column to once. (I think it was picked up by the Hit List too.)

Heh. Um. I actually fell asleep at the beginning of the first time we went to watch this movie and the AlphaMale kept watching it, woke me up when it was over and told me it was over and time to go to bed. Although doggit all to f*ck, my couch is f*cking comfortable. Lazy Boy, reclining on both sides, microfiber material. I love my couch. Well, OUR couch. Whatever.

I thought that this one was definitely have the April Fool's ending, as it is named after April Fool's, and most of the time it's pretty plausible in its ... f*ck, now I forgot the term, Paul taught it to me... oh, yeah. Practical special effects. Right? Anyhow, I really liked that and the actors came off as professionals, back when so many were coming off really cheesy in the '80's. There's some of that, but not an overabundance of it. I really liked the blonde chick (the cute one that's f*cking Rohner). She was boss.

But because I knew that it was all going to be a ruse, most of the scare tactics were false. At least The Butcher Brothers version, as butchered as the studio made it, had a more interesting ending.

Anyhoo... I'm done typing now.
