My Name Is Bruce

My Name Is Bruce is hands down one of the funniest films that I have seen in awhile. Bruce Campbell plays Bruce Campbell, a once respected B movie actor now living in D movie hell. He's single, obnoxious and constantly drunk.

When a young fan comes to beg for his help against evil demons haunting his town, Bruce believes that it's a new movie role. When he finds out that it is all too real, he has to make a choice, save the town or run like Hell.

First off, Bruce Campbell is just awesome. It takes humility and a sense of humor for someone to spoof his own self so perfectly. His sense of comedic timing is spot on and his one liners will have you rolling in the aisles. Actor Ted Raimi also appears in multiple and equally funny cameos.

If you are an Evil Dead fan, rent this film you will not be disappointed. There are a lot of inside jokes in the film that only a fan will get. However these inside jokes do not detract from the films, so it's a pleasant film for non fans as well.

Imaginary Bitches

Imaginary Bitches is a hysterical new web series starring All My Children's Eden Riegel. Eden played Bianca Montgomery daughter of Erica Kane and the first mainstream lesbian in daytime television.

Eden plays Eden a single girl whose closest friends are all in relationships. Feeling lost and ignored, she creates two imaginary friends Catherine and Heather whom Eden exposes her innermost thoughts too. The friends infiltrate her real life as she dates a Second Life obsessed perv who finds himself attracted to Heather, they get revenge on a girl who stole Eden's boyfriend, and generally help her express herself in ways she normally doesn't.

The show also stars All My Children alumni Elizabeth Hendrickson who played Riegel's love interest on the soap. It also stars Connie Fletcher who played Erin Lavery on the show. Guest stars include Greg Rikaart (The Young And The Restless) and Jessalyn Gilsig (Prom Night).

The show is funny and Eden is engaging in her role. I love some of the one liners and the fact that it touches on a lot awesome topics. The show returns on July 11 and new episodes are released Fridays at 11:00pm.

You can watch it on their homepage www.imaginarybitches.com or check out their Youtube page.

Update: They are now releasing a DVD of the first season for those of you that don't want to watch it online. You can purchase it off their official website.

Zombie Strippers

There are movies in this world that are so deliciously bad they're good, Zombie Strippers is one of them. Zombie Strippers is a fun and quirky film with some great political commentary hidden among the nudity and bloodshed.

The film begins in 2012, America is at war with practically everyone, Bush is on his 5th consecutive and fixed term, and public nudity has been outlawed. Due to the lack of soldiers, a chemo-virus has been invented to render keep the soldiers fighting, dead or alive. However the virus inadvertently gets released into an illegal strip club. The undead strippers learn that they become better and hotter dancers. The human strippers struggle with the desire to conform to the new fad and give up their humanity.

The cast includes adult film star Jenna Jameson and Robert Englund who is best known as playing the iconic Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare On Elm Street series. Englund is hysterical as the sleazy, opportunistic strip club owner. And say what you want about Jenna Jameson, the girl can act.

This is a film that does not take itself seriously. It's fun, B-Grade, a refreshing bit of cinematic junk food. It oddly has a Tarentino meets Starship Troopers (the movie) vibe to it which I enjoyed. If you are offended by gore, nudity, or just don't have the appreciation for "bad movies" this film isn't for you. However if my description hasn't turned you off the film I think you'll enjoy it.
