trash can satire with a kickin' soundtrack!
19 July 2008
this movie combines social satire with deep philosophical questions under the lens of the drive-in theater. characters are niched, with each car having its own perspective on the movie and the culture of the drive-in. the only thing that's lacking is the horror aspect, with most of the 'horror' happening on the big screen. the hooligans are the perfect slap-stick villains, while little old ladies just want to know what's going on. the 'attempted rape' that seems to have bothered others is over-the-top and completely satirical. all in all, American Drive-in is perfect for any fan of Hard Rock Zombies. Sabu lends him musical genius to this film as well (even though most of the songs are already in Hard ock Zombies).

Kamillions (1990)
10/10
a virtual smörgåsbord of film!
2 July 2008
this movie is AMAZING!! Kamillions teeters so delicately between genres, and at times i am frightened by how good it is. horror, romance, social satire and just enough comic relief to give this "frightfest" the perfect balance. countless plot twists, a stellar cast, and elaborate, mind-blowing special effects make this movie absolutely a MUST SEE. this movie will keep you guessing and guessing until you don't know which way is up. the soundtrack is a sparse and shifting tempest of synth swells, backed up by a cavalcade of oldies hits. think, the Mist meets the Fly meets Gremlins meets any other awesome movie you've ever seen! TEN!!!
