Better than the original!
posted on 18 Aug 2009Rarely does a sequel come along that's better than its predecessor (but come on, we're talking about a movie where the villain is Gary Busey ridiculously scaled down to a cookie puppet!). Although it's, sadly, Busey-less, Gingerdead Man 2 delivers the goods. This time around, the Gingerdead Man is set loose in a bad b-movie studio.After a very "Pushing Daisies"-like prologue, viewers are treated to one non-stop spoof of practically everything Full Moon Features has ever done, with a bumbling lead who's obviously modeled after Charles Band (who, if I'm not mistaken, came up with the story). There's some hilariously off-kilter evil puppets, inside jokes, cameos, spoofs and movie references galore, lots of tasteless depravity and gore... I think about the only thing that's missing that one usually finds in a Full Moon movie is the gratuitous T&A (and the movie still works without it). For fans of the offbeat studio, it doesn't get much better than this.
Refreshingly funny horror movie.
posted on 04 Aug 2009I attended the screening for this bad boy and was pleasantly entertained. The movie took me back to a time in the 80's when there were great cult films like Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers and Nightmare Sisters. If any of the fans out there loved those type of cult classics you are going to love this gem. The make-up effects and the campy humor are to die for. The one liners are totally outrageous and the character building is truly refreshing. There are some twists and turns that surprise you in the end unlike the typical "saw it coming" movies. The "B" movie is back at it's finest. Get ready to roll through this puppy with shocking visuals, laughter and truthful implications that only a true low budget fan can appreciate. Don't miss it!
Great Fun!!! Come prepared to laugh...
posted on 09 Jul 2009I saw this movie at the premiere. Get some friends together and go for a fun roller-coaster ride with this flik.The writing is very good. The director did a nice job with casting. There are some fresh faces in this and some stale faces (the Gingerdead Man) It was actually a nice balance between humor, horror, thrills, and surprises.This could easily become a cult classic and there were so many laughs our groups face hurt and their stomachs got a workout! Keep em coming.
Supringly watchable sequel to an awful movie
posted on 28 Apr 2009If you haven't seen the first Gingerdead Man film (trust me you didn't miss much), you needn't worry the entire thing is recapped in the first few minutes or so of this one. Nope Gary Busey isn't in this one, but he isn't missed much as the Gingerbread man is pretty much a background character in this movie, most of the story is on the satire of the happenings of a Full Moon-esquire studio. Filled with in-jokes and b-movie mainstays both in front and beyond the camera sending themselves up, this film was indeed a cut above the previous one and my preferred film starring the Gingerbread Man of the three that he's been in (he made a cameo in "Evil Bong" as well) My Grade: C+ DVD Extras: A promo for Full Moon website; Trailer for this movie; and trailers for "Dangerous worry dolls", "Evil Bong", & "Decadent Evil 2"
Non-Stop Laughter with Passion for the Crust!
posted on 03 Dec 2008While watching this flick, I laughed so hard that my false teeth shot out of my mouth (in the balcony), down to the mezzanine!The acting, director, and writing is audacious and irreverently funny. The film reminded me of a bunch of other films, and the memories made the whole movie even more hilarious, including the sequel title "...Passion of the Crust". I couldn't help but think that the whole story was about resurrecting MGM and its golden age through the vision of (would you believe?) Louis B. Mayer's 'son' (I don't believe that Louis B. Mayer had a son). And, his 'son' reminded me of an Alan Ladd, Jr. trying to bring MGM back to life, complete with 'little munchkin' puppets. This flick is a campy romp--and, on this kind of 'yellow brick road' even Dorothy can come back to life.The casting is brilliant, and I hope that the audience sees more of the cast-members, who deliver their funniest performances. I would be remiss if I didn't give a special mention of Bruce Dent (for his portrayal of Ricki Johnson), and Joseph Porter (for his portrayal of Tommy Hines).I usually hate sequels, as well as remakes, but not this sequel. I absolutely love it! I shall have to bake another batch of cookies. I first started baking them with my dear, departed grandma-ma. I rank this flick a 10 out of 10.
Cult film for the Millennium!
posted on 18 Oct 2008Wow!--A MUST SEE! Make way for the new cult film of the millennium. This little fan-film is a hilarious outrage for anyone who has ever seen a Charles Band production.I saw the Full Moon screening and was blown away.Up there on the screen was a painfully accurate parody of Charles Band himself! A low budget film about a low budget film producer who makes bad puppet movies!!! The dialog and effects are over the top and unforgettable.The casting was dead on and perfect.And the Cameos were amazing! The producers of the film got a bunch of horror film directors to play, horror film directors, --Dave DeCotau, played himself, John Beuchler, played himself, Adam Green, played a bum... Okay so Adam Green ain't a bum, but he's funny as hell! -- Michelle Bauer played an aging eighties scream queen, and Kenneth J. Hall played a really bad self obsessed actor...The movie will have you whooping with laughter as you are introduced to a new batch of bad puppet creations called the "Tiny Terrors" including Sh*t For Brains, Haunted Dildo, Treasure Chest, Knob Goblin..And the old Ginger Dead guy is hysterical as the killer cookie on a rampage.See this film!
The Cookie Has Crumbled
posted on 30 Sep 2008Ever since this title was announced way back, I had been waiting patiently for a chance to watch it, granted the first one was one big pile of drivel, I had always maintained a certain level of hope for an improvement with the follow up.Sadly to say, and not for the first time, 'Gingerdead Man 2' - The Passion Of The Crust, although at it's festering heart contained a serious good idea, I found my patience beginning to wear very thin as I was treated to a ten minute recap from the original.Having spent the vast majority of my teenage years viewing every movie that Charles Band had produced, jumping on board with Empire Pictures, and then holding on for dear life with Full Moon Pictures, I have pretty much witnessed the good, the bad and the downright ugly! No matter how bad the proceedings, I will always give over my time for a movie produced by the man himself, but dear oh dear, the last couple of outings have left a lot to be desired, 'Doll Graveyard', 'Dangerous Worry Dolls'.Now the notion of a movie within a movie has always been an intriguing idea, one such movie that comes to mind was Fred Olen Ray's 'Bad Girls From Mars' starring Edy Williams.Granted that film was any great shakes, the only thing that kept it afloat was the odd flash of nudity to keep the movie trucking along! with 'Gingerdead Man 2' it was good to see such legends from the low budget film world strut their stuff in front of the camera, make-up maestro John Carl Buechler showed his acting chops as the beleaguered director Orson Biggs! It was also pretty cool to see scream queen icon Michelle Bauer steal some screen time as one time scream starlet Polly Bunderhoof, even twenty something years on, Miss Bauer still looks pretty stunning! At the film's core, was the idea that this low budget film company, Cheatum Studios, you have to love that name have been struggling for some time to make any sort of entertaining movie, and of course through William Butler's screen story, this idea in itself is a thinly veiled mickey take on the financial ups and downs of Charles Band himself.I guess therein lay the problem for myself, I wanted to enjoy the movie, but it just kept on dragging on and on, getting involved with a myriad of ideas that mainly led the movie nowhere, such is the case with the Full Moon ideas being produced.A quirky movie at best, and although I know Part Three will fast approach at some point, depending on the budget of course, I really do wish Charles Band would think outside the box and give the Full Moon fans something decent to watch.My rating is 1 because the Cookie Has Crumbled!
WTH is this?
posted on 06 Sep 2008Well i had to rate it 1/10, because there was no 0/10.. i can't call it a movie, or should i call it a 10year old director movie. B movie? rather call it a Z-movie. After seeing half of the movie, i said to myself thank you very much, i've had enough. Acting is even worse, special FX.. pfff, and lines.. pathetic. this movie is AWFUL!Budget: 100$ (IMO)P.S. i didn't see the first part, but some people say that THIS one is better, so i wonder about the first part..So don't waste money renting it. I rather watch grass grow than this movie again!!
Very Funny Film
posted on 31 Aug 2008So campy and silly, making fun of itself in a sophisticated yet irreverent way. Lot's of laughs at the screening I attended. Good movie! The production values are up to date, especially considering this movie must have been done on a tight budget. I really liked the intro music, that was a fun song. Over all, a goofy movie that will probably be a real hit overseas. And might even become one of those cult classics here in the states. The writing was really superb. My favorite part, save the really stupidly funny puppets dancing around in that way only puppets can. How do these geniuses come up with this stuff? I mean really, it's so stupid and funny, and smart all at the same time. I guess it's a gift. Strange gifts are given sometimes and these film makers got a bonus share.
Campy Horror at its Horrific Best!
posted on 30 Aug 2009I saw this film and laughed so hard I hurt myself. I swear, at one point I thought I was going to lose an eye from the amount of tears running down my face.The Writing and Directing was audacious and irreverent. They continually raised the bar on each gag and poked fun at everyone you could imagine. Just when you thought you'd "seen it all", they hit you with another outlandish and totally hilarious scene. This is El-Oh-El Funny, people!!! The Casting was brilliant! Kelsey Sanders and Kevan were absolutely dead on perfect choices for their roles as Heather and Kelvin. (This all American clean cut couple rivals even Janet and Brad, in my opinion!) Their performances were wonderfully crafted in the face of an intense amount of dialog and action sequences and a joy to watch. Bruce Dent was an absolute hoot with his over the top portrayal of Ricki Johnson. He used subtle and honest reactions to build a believable character and then ramped it up to like 110 or 220. He did whatever it took to curl your hair. Joseph Porter's portrayal of Tommy Hines was a stellar achievement. I quite honestly thought his performance was one of the best I've seen in an up and coming actor and I can't wait to see what he brings to the table next! (But, No Pressure, Mr. Porter!) If he's not signed yet, someone better grab him quick because he is going to blow up the entire Hollywood scene! A Big "Thank you" to the entire cast and crew for cooking up a seriously funny, no holds barred, take no prisoners movie. I will never again be able to smell cinnamon extract without having to think of this gem!
