An Irregular Series: Good, Bad Movies

Today's installment:

It's no Hell Comes to Frogtown; but, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is unashamedly bad and proud of it. I'm about a half hour into it. Dewey started out making a big mistake, cutting his more talented brother, Nate, in half, neatly at the belt line with their father's machete.

Right now, Dewey is on a bill with the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly and Elvis who talks a bit like Bob Dylan. Dewey gets to close the show.

Updates to follow, maybe. A quick one, Sam Cooke just appeared and is introducing Dewey to marijuana.

OK, an hour in, it's a low rent This is Spinal Tap/Forrest Gump.

Dewey's been through Roy Orbison, Dylan, rehab, met the Beatles in India and now I think he's about to do some Brian Wilson while he's sitting on a trampoline with his father, his family and Jimi Hendri. Yep, it's Pet Sounds.

That is all. If you spend your money on it, it's your fault.

Dave! Who blogs a play-by-play commentary of a movie while watching?

What? You don't golf on Friday evenings? (wink)

I love these public service posts. Thanks for the tip - I will save my bad movie money for one that is so bad it's good. I still have an unopened copy of Destroy All Planets that might qualify.

Nooooo! Dewey Cox was BRILLIANT!

Wait. Maybe not brilliant, but I did laugh quite a bit. Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, now THAT's a movie to avoid. :)
