![]() Senior Skip Day (Unrated) $14.98 The premise of this movie is pretty straightforward: every year, according to a tradition, the senior class takes a day off. The Principal of the school is determined to wreck the plans of the senior class. A geeky dude is caught in the middle of it all. One of the "innovations" of this film is to feature 2 alumni of party movies & teen flicks - this time as the adult figures. Lea Thompson (Some Kind of Wonderful (Special Collector's Edition), All the Right Moves and Casual Sex?) stars as the mother of the geek. As she's about my age, this film made me feel kind of old! Meanwhile, Tara Reid (American Pie - Unrated (Widescreen Collector's Edition) and National Lampoon's Van Wilder - Unrated (Two-Disc Special Edition)) is the geek's older sister. Obviously, the inside joke is that Thompson & Reid used to be in these very sorts of films starring as the teens-running-amock. Ultimately, while the nostalgia of Thompson & Reid was nice, I found this film on the lame side. There are a comical parts, but nothing that made me have a guffaw of a laugh. The funeral that supposedly lasts the whole day is well beyond the realm of believablity. Also, for a film that advertises itself as "unrated and uncut," it's on the tame side. It's a far cry from crazy flicks such as National Lampoon's Animal House and Old School (Widescreen Unrated Edition). So, if you're in the market for a party movie, I would pass this one over as there are plenty of other PM flicks that are much more worthwhile. This one isn't terrible (perhaps just a shade shy of 3 stars), but isn't noteworthy, either. Perhaps the one thing that might draw the curious to this film is Lea Thompson playing the mother in a party flick. Of course, that's pretty much just out of nostalgia alone. ![]() Silent Partner $9.98 Too bad this isn't a remake of the '70's Elliott Gould thriller. Tara's head sawed off into a fish-bowl might be worth seeing. ![]() Vipers $12.95 This was actually one of the better snake movies out there. full of blood and gore, hell yeah. It is definately worth watching if you are into horror or creature films. There is alot of bad ones out there, this isnt one of them. ![]() Tara Reid autographed sexy 8x10 bikini photo $60.00 We get to see more than usual of Tara Reid who looks more than usually phenomenal in this autographed beach bunny pose. But I'm sorry---SIXTY BUCKS for an 8 x 10 photograph of an active B-list actress? No matter how hot she is, that's a lot of money. It's worth about half the listed price. And as for this being "the only one in this pose available," so what? I'm sure it's not the only one of this pose in existence, or the only one signed. The offer doesn't say "personally autographed"---This could be, and probably is, a reprint. There'll be another one of these available next week. And twenty on EBay. My advice---Fly out to LA and take Tara out to dinner with the $60.00 you saved not buying this. |
