Half Baked (1998)
Give stoner movies a break!
17 November 1998
Over the past few hours, i've searched the database and found about 10 different stoner flicks and all of them were trashed by the commentators! Even dazed and confused and the stoned age were panned! how so? because they have no plot? this movie actually has plot, and they still arent satisfied. Its people who dont do marijuana or drink or whatever that dont get these movies...any way...4 guys who live together drink, smoke and be merry every day of their lives, till one day one of them accidentally kills a diabetic police horse (yes, diabetic). The other 3 are posed with a dilemma and try to figure out a way to spring their friend. Like most movies within the past 5-6 years of this magnatude, it has a lot of goofy things that only those of the stoner race or formers can really truly enjoy. That is not saying that everyone else cannot. The thing i found nice about this movie is that even if you werent associated at all with drugs, it made it nice and easy to understand the effects. (Even more blunt than Joe's Big Eyeball in the Stoned Age). All i can say is...lay off the stoner movies....they're goofy cuz theyre SUPPOSED TO BE! - "Two Green Thumbs Up!" Jay & Joe

Redneck Zombies (1989 Video)
10/10
A strange bewildering college(?) film experience....
17 November 1998
I was sorting through my old box of movies a couple months ago and I came across a blank box screener (I used to be a movie retailer...) called Redneck Zombies. Being a large fan of any zombie movie, wacky or not (a la' evil dead...bruce campbell....where have you gone?), i decided to take an hour and a half out of my day to view this masterpiece of home video(?) As the opening credits came on i wondered if this was filmed with a standard hand held 8mm or if they really used real film...i knew i was in for a treat. The term special effects has a whole new meaning to me, as now i know it does not necessarily mean they have to be special. But the whole thing works beautifully within itself and makes you laugh out loud with such thoughts that they "are probably smoking real pot". The script is thin, but funny, playing a group of rednecks who put radioactive waste in their moonshine and become bloodthirsty zombies terrorizing innocent campers with lots of camera clipping......worth a watch - "Two severed thumbs up!"

Fun fun fun till daddy takes your ganja away.....
17 November 1998
Of the many scholastic films Ive seen in my time, this has to be the most hilarious piece of tripe ive ever seen. The setting is a small urban town, in the mid thirties. Everyones all happy, and everyone seems normal, that is, everyone BUT the shifty, shady, marijuana dealers who look just like *Gasp* you and me! They look so normal, lure your children into their home, and sell them exotic herbs from far away places! All whilst turning your children into sex maniacs, one puff hookers, and violent terrorists high on life (and that's not all!) Fun for the whole family (well...it all depends on your family...), this is a great flick, worth the watch! - "Two Green Thumbs Up!" Joe & Jay
