Zombiegeddon (2003)
Hell yeah!
I didn't think I'd like this movie at all. There's not many things that I do like. But it's awesome. Lloyd Kaufman's appearance not only makes this film worth while, but it makes life itself worth while. I mean, if you don't like this movie- you're a brown-nosed, wannabe Roger Ebert. It's fast, it's funny and it certainly doesn't lack in the violence satisfaction department like you would expect from "just another straight-to-video horror film." See this movie or die. It premiered here in Tulsa, Oklahoma (yeah, I think that's weird, too.) But, DO NOT PAY FOR DUMB MOVIES LIKE CHARLIE'S ANGELS 2 and TERMINATOR 3. BUY THIS MOVIE NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS. I saw it once and I'm already hoping to see it againt.
Another interesting thing... the actors in this movie- like Savini, Stevens, Rose, and Estevez... You may laugh and think they're crap actors, but in this movie, they actually get a chance to show off what they're really made of. The guy who directed this loves these kind of movies and didn't make this film only to become a Hollywood sellout in the future. FUN FUN FUN!!!!
Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV (2000)
Hilarious and frightening
I have always wondered why Lloyd Kaufman's films can often be found hastily placed in the horror section of video stores. The only thing scary about these films are the real life events they commentate on including AIDS, abortion, school shootings and so on. Kaufman expertly uses comedy to punctuate how bad something truly is. One minute you're cracking up laughing, the next minute you watch in horror as a beautiful woman is raped by a man with AIDS (Troma's War). No tear-jerkin', pathetic attempt to get an Oscar, Hollywood film could ever hope to be as effective as many of these films are. The critics who attack these films seem to be mad that someone is using cinema for a purpose again- rather than exploiting brainwashed little girls' ignorance with pointless, multi-million dollar Julia Roberts movies. If you have seen so few films that you think Spielberg and Lucas are geniuses, you should probably pass this one up. Citizen Toxie perfects everything you have ever seen in previous Kaufman films in the first 20 minutes while giving the finger to our racist and sexist society. As long as the Motion Picture Association of America doesn't succeed with their plans of destroying meaningful cinema, these films may very well get the respect they deserve some day.
