Off The Record...
Project 86
Project 86
The hype coming out of Atlantic HQ seems to be that not only does Project 86 sound furiously heavy and swell, but that they've got something to say. The guys lay it on thick and heavy, and give you a breather now and again, like with the dreamy Star, or the drum breakdowns of Twenty Three that’s a twelve-minute noise blitz that would scare Monster Magnet. The last two-thirds of it sound like Fun House by the Stooges run through a Guitar Center Heavy Metal Pedal. Now, that's integrity. 

At The Movies...
Boys and Girls
Ryan and Jennifer are opposites who definitely do not attract. At least that's what they always believed. When they met as twelve-year-olds, they disliked one another. When they met again as teenagers, they loathed each other. But when they meet in college, the uptight Ryan and the free-spirited Jennifer find that their differences bind them together and a rare friendship develops. Now with the help of their roommates, they're about to find out what men really want, what women definitely need and what happens to friends when going for it goes too far. A great date movie
 

On Video...
Deuce Bigalow
Rob Schneider is Deuce Bigalow, an aquatic loving fish tank cleaner who meets Antoine, a gigolo who has a sick fish. When Antoine has to leave the country for a few weeks, he offers Deuce the opportunity to housesit. Deuce trashes the place due to his bumbling ways, and enlists the aid of a friend TJ to help him pay for the damages. TJ turns him, in a series of absurd preparations, into a prostitute. These subsequent encounters with self-conscious females provide the film with its biggest laughs. The first film from Adam Sandler's Happy Madison production company is a winner.
