The Gingerdead Man

Now before the madness of this review begins, I must state that the way I watch movies is a bit different than most. I feel as if there are two categories of movies, Good quality movies, and overall enjoyable movies, and of course many fit into both. But when a gem comes along that not only is a horror movie about a killer gingerbread man, but stars Gary Busey as the title role, it sends my humor circuits into overload.

The film is about a murderer played by Gary Busey, named Millard Filndlemeyer, who kills a whole famly at a diner except for the daughter. The daughter ends up testifying in court which sends good old Findlemeyer to the electric chair. Without much explanation of why or how, but his ashes are sent to his other she pts them into a gingerbread cookie mix and sends them to the daughters bakery. Then some idiot cuts himself and his blood gets into the mix causing the Gingerbread Busey to be born and cause trouble all around.

The film proves to have the typical B horror movie plot that is so outlandish that it would make Ed Wood blush. But overall it is along the same line as the Leprechaun horror films, except instead of Warwick Davis you have Gary Busey. Now this movie is actually part of a trilogy, the next two do not include Gary Busey, oh and did I mention this movie features Gary Busey as a killer gingerbread man? But either way I will say quality value, this film would get a very low 1 out of 5 but as far as being an enjoyabe film, I feel it still may also be a problem for some. I don't like to recommend movies because lets face it, no one can ever really tell if you would like a movie, and when someone tells you of a random good film in which to search out, the film ends up being more rubbish than thinking robots communicate with tiny beeps. But as far as The Gingerdead Man goes, I found the whole movie to be a fun little horror movie to pop on during a sick day, or something to get together and watch and make fun of with friends. This movie can be a blast for some people which of course earns it a cult status, but I don't plan seeing a Gingerdead Man shirt at Hot Topic anytime soon, and who the hell I am kidding, I am stuck in space, I won't be seeing a Hot Topic anytime soon.

Mr. Bean Cartoon

As my montourous collection of movies, T.V., and flavored oil's gets larger, the weirder some of the things I find get. Which brings me to something that brings me much joy, that is if I was human, but nonetheless it is Mr. Bean. But it's the animated series, which seems a bit intriguing seeing as how most of the live sketches and a bulk of the two movies are pantomimed. The series proves to be enjoyable to a certain degree but also makes for horrible background noise and generally awful noise unless you are watching it knowing it is Mr. Bean. I consider myself to be a pretty big fan of Rowan Atkinson and his work as Mr. Bean, and as a massive fan of animation in general, this was a bit of a dissapointment. I say this knowing I can watch Felix the Cat, old Mickey Mouse, and thouroughly enjoyed the silent animated film, The Illusionist, as stated in the back up records of these recordings.

Overall the animation of this series is interesting and If I had eyes, I would say that it was very visually stimulating, a robot can dream though...

But the series proves to be almost like a modern day Pink Panther with noises made by none other than Rowan Atkinson. (I wonder how much he got paid to just make little noises for this?) But as far as enjoyability goes for this series, unless you thoroughly enjoy animation, or thoroughly enjoy Mr. Bean, stay away, and even for those that enjoy both, it may prove to be a bit of a disappointment.
