The Compleat Al (1985)
Al at his classic best.
This is a bizzare look at Al's "life", back when he still a hyper 20-something. The (real) home videos of Al as a kid are great, and the commentary from his (real life) parents gives a nice glimpse of just how Weird Al wound up as screwed up as he is. This video is a must own for any devoted Al-coholic.
Pacific Heights (1990)
This movie was the pits.
This was one of the worse movies I've seen in a long time. The characters were not at all interesting, and it took way too long for the movie to pick up speed. There were some very bad attempts at being artistic, and many shots, etc. that were completely superfluous.
I watched this film on TBS's Movie Lounge last night. The only thing I enjoyed about it was seeing the celebrity guest hosts (the girl who played Jan Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie and "Weird Al" Yankovic) make fun of it. It was almost MST3Kish. Please don't waste your time seeing this movie.
UHF (1989)
Al's a master of pop culture.
For years, Al has lampooned pop music with his offbeat parodys and unique sense of humor. This film, celebrating its 10th anniversary, shows Al is a true master of manipulating pop culture. Those who look for a plot line should go elsewhere. That isn't what this movie is about. It's about looking at the state of movies and film and TV and all the other parts of our modern media. Al tears them to pieces as only he can, with his sick, twisted sense of humor. And he also brought us the culinary advance of the Twinkie Wiener Sandwich (they are actually quite yummy!)
Here's hoping for a re-release to video next year!
