The Absolute Bomb Diggity
6 October 2000
A film in the tradition of Spinal Tap, And God Spoke, and Living in Oblivion this film has a decidedly hard edge that those others dared not approach. Scott Mabbutt is an exciting new film maker trying to excise through film as many demons as a Tim Burton or a David Lynch. His is a fluidic style that reflects the same sensibilities of a late-career Spielberg or an early career Scorsesse. Most impressive was the ease with which Mabbutt moved his story and cast (led by the stunning Leslie Miller) from dark satire to humor to the very brink of homo-eroticism. If this film were a video on MTV's TRL the kids would say the following: "It is the big pimpin' bomb digity of all time and it should be number one forever WUUU!" Yes, young people of today, Wuuu indeed! Wuuu indeed.
