OOGA BOOGA-Review

 By Dail Whiteley



I love redbox.  I love going to redbox , love going to its site. A few weeks ago I was going through the coming soon section and  I came across a title I had to see. the title Ooga Booga. the story of a wronged man who turns into a voo doo doll and gets revenge.

A guy in a bad pig outfit named hambo , hosts a kids show ,  gets fired for drinking on the job and he gives a friend of his a statue. its a voo doo doll named Ooga Booga.  Before he visited his friend , he was happy because he got a job or something. So he goes to celebrate by going into a convenience store to get a Slurpee and three guys rob the store and shoot the clerk. the guy goes to help the man out and 2 cops come in and accuse him of shooting the clerk and the one cop is racists and shoots the guy ,  the guy bleeds onto the doll and the Slurpee machine goes bonkers  and ta da! the guy comes back as Ooga Booga.
Ooga comes back to his girlfriend and sits on the couch and smokes. We find out that a judge and the bigot cop are framing people and  the guys that robbed the store are in with them.
The girlfriend is out walking home when she gets robbed and assaulted buy the three bad guys and she goes home to take a shower  and we she her wash off while  Ooga is touching himself.  Its how this movie is  for the first half he's the hero but he sits around and smokes and jerks off while shes in the shower.                  So  she tracks down the bad guys through their landlady. Ooga sees she has sambo dolls , gets upset and pokes the landlady in the eye.  He finds a key with the tag : opens every door on it is states and gives it to the girlfriend.
 She finds the apt. and she takes them out  Bronson style while Ooga drops this big metal pot thing and burns one of them to death.
The bad cop stops by  and finds them dead, hes pissed , the judge is pissed.
The bad cop is waiting at the girlfriends apt waiting for them. He hist the girlfriend , Ooga tries to distract him , cop tries to shoot Ooga , Ooga takes him down and stabs him in the ear with his stick.
Now comes the touching scene where it's time for him to go and that she'll miss him.
Ooga goes to see the bad judge and stabs him in the eye. judge dies.
girlfriend comes home and finds a briefcase its full of money. its from hambo. he made a fortune overseas selling his dolls here is some money.
It takes its good sweet time , Its silly  , would see it again.  2 1/2 stars.

                                                                                                                                   

Graffiti Bridge- Review

By  Dail Whiteley.


OK for this week I'm going back , sometimes I will do that. There is a reason why it took me 23 years to see Graffiti Bridge. Its awful. Then why am i writing this?. Because I'm here to tell you how bad it is.

Darkness

 This is the reason why I made this blog. For this type of movie. I hope no one ever confuses this as a bad Twilight knock-off because it  has zero to do with Twilight as the packaging vaguely wants you to think and as slow and bad as this movie is  this is still a better movie.

The movie starts off with a guy walking his dog then shifts to a teenage boy in bed that wakes up from a noise out side.  The teen gets up out of bed to see whats going on . He sees a cloud with something that looks like a view master inside the cloud and the street light explodes and the cloud goes away.

Teen wakes up the next morning and runs into the neighbor that was dog walking the night before. They talk and the guy tells the teen nothing to worry about , it was just a wind storm.

 Teen delivers papers  around a neighborhood that's either in Idaho or Romania and at the end of the film it states that it was co produced in Romania.  The teen comes by a old woman and she tells him to stay away from a shinny metal thing he notices.  He goes to school and meets up with his friend who is like Evil in the original Fright Night which this movie copy's. Its more Fright Night than Twilight. and we see his science teacher and blah blah blah.

Tt turns out that  vampires want to destroy the sun and make the planet total darkness. The head vamp has turned the citizens of this place into vampires , who can walk in the daytime. And will take the town out during the big high school soccer game that they play in the afternoon. And the only one that can save them is the teen and a SEI scientist or something guy who had 2 friends vanish.

It would of been a dumb fun movie had it not been so slow. these type of movies , they shoot these things like in a weeks time and they feel like they last for a month. So 2 stars. Its at Redbox.
