Unappreciated: Monkey Bone
March 6, 2001 | 2:22 amBoyz and Grrlz..give Monkey Bone a chance! Pay no attention to the commercials. They do an amazingly piss-poor job of giving a sense of what the film is really like. It’s such a disservice to the flick that I hope the person in charge of OKing the commercials has already been fired and has run back home where he’s reacting the what happens in Steely Dan’s Cousin Dupree.
If you enjoyed Nightmare Before Christmas (It’s the same director!), then you’ll enjoy the dark humor and wonderfully creative cast of strange characters and locations. Gorgeously nightmarish imagery…even on the amusing side when you see a dog’s nightmare (It involves cats with sharp objects ^o^). Three headed dogs…a Grim reaper ‘casting call’…a hot cat girl (which should get a thumbs up from the anime fans…)…a ‘runaway’ olympic gymnast corpse being hunted down by the organ removal team he escaped from. C’mon folks…Whoopi Goldberg plays Death…you can’t beat that. ^_^ Go check it out now before the theatres kick it out!
