VHS Movie Reviews of Meet the Feebles
Movie Review: Eat lead, you man-stealing SLUT!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Meet the Feebles! Ah, where to begin. Let's start with I have never laughed as hard as ever when I popped this movie in. This film made me laugh my head off completely! First of all, puppets having sex! You can't get any better than that. Furthermore, they swear, they smoke, they murder with blood galore, and I can just go on and on from there. Peter Jackson is by far my favorite filmmaker of all time mainly because of Lord of the Rings. When I checked out his earlier movies, they made me like the guy even more. Not only can he do a great adventure epic, he can also do eye-popping splatter gore flicks like Bad Taste, Dead Alive, and this one. Of course I like all of his movies and this one is probably the most underrated of them all. The DVD by the way needs a huge makeover, by Anchor Bay preferably. Widescreen would be nice too with a better, grainless picture, with some decent extras as well. With a conclusion, Meet the Feebles is one gross-out comedy which will rock your funny bone to the core. Hell I loved it and you will too. I guess I will end with: Trevor, I want that fudgepacker eliminated! Movie Review: A strange experience.
Summary: 3 Stars
Of all the films Peter Jackson made in his early "wacky B-movie" period, this one is almost certainly the least accessible. The subject matter is very adult, the music is overpoweringly loud and obnoxious, the camera work is claustrophobic, and Jackson appears to be trying to make you throw up as often as possible. The end result of all this feels something like a movie equivalent to finger nails on a chalkboard. Still, it has it's moments, and if you're looking for something different and/or have always wondered what the Muppets would be like it they were NC-17, then look no further.Movie Review: Flat and Safe
Summary: 1 Stars
This is Peter Jackson's take on the Muppets, and when you take on the Muppets, it isn't that interesting unless your doing something the Muppets will never do. In this case, your warping them into something that the Muppets would never show: Actual human nature, or at least the vices of human nature.
The plot is basically a bunch of backstories that lead to the climax. The backstories each deal with a bunch of plots that involve drug dealing, porn making, and other "shocking" plot devices. The characters are pretty much generic animals, including a Frog, Rabbit, Elephant, Hippo, Walrus, Worm, Poodle, Porcupine, etc. Most of the characters are into $#%, Drugs, women, lieing, cheating, killing, revenge, the works. This is just everyday life experiences.
None of the above even make an impression, nor does it make me laugh. You call this black humor? It is dark, but it's not funny, so it's not black humor. The humor on this one wasn't even shocking, it just felt too generic and safe. The only reason why some people find this shocking is basically the novelty factor. Once you take the novelty part off, I could only imagine just how generic this would be.
So, what's the novelty? The fact that they use "cute" characters and world (whatever world the muppets fall under, take your pick of description) just makes all the vices lose their depictions. Basically, it's just watering everything down so it's safe. Unless you think warping the muppets is a daring feat of absurd hilarious comedy. Me? I find the whole thing unshocking. The jokes are just too safe. They don't make me wonder who the hell is making this _________ up _________ (I find those things to be hilarious and love it). The jokes are very flat, they aren't interesting and generic. When the puppets fail to make this movie seem daring, it just doesn't work. Basically, the humor is flat and safe. I didn't laugh, unless I laughed at the way they tried to "shock" me. Denied!
Skip this one unless your into the above mentioned (I can't really fathom why anybody would, but I'm not everybody else). Your not missing anything.
Movie Review: "We're not your ordinary people!"
Summary: 5 Stars
If you think LOTR was Peter Jackson's best work, you might wanna consider changing your mind. Yeah, Peter Jackson has made some epics, but cut back to before LOTR. There was "Bad Taste", "Meet The Feebles", and "Dead Alive". And Meet The Feebles? Definitely the best Peter Jackson movie!
The movie is all puppets, no humans. In this movie, the feebles have a show called "Feebles Vareity Hour", a show where The Feebles showcase their talents. The star of the show is Heidi The Hippo, an ultra talented singer. However, backstage, her husband the Walrus has been cheating on her. Meanwhile, the frog is having trouble throwing knives properly, and not only that, but has a bad heroin problem. All the animals have problems, especially Bletch, who is in trouble with the underground Heroin traffic. Everything goes wrong, and the Feebles can't get their act together!
This is such a sick, twisted, disturbing, obscene, filthy, and sadistic movie. And that's why I love it! IT's so funny, and just so morally wrong! I loved Dead Alive, so I knew I would love this.
If you like sick humor, check this out!!
Movie Review: Muppets on Crack!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you enjoy watching puppets curse, vomit, release bodily fluids, fornicate, get STD's, do drug deals, do drugs, and shoot each other up with machine guns, then this film is right up your alley. This is like a f'd up Fraggle Rock episode!
