Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Clean Slate #amnesia @danacarvey

Packy - Head Llama

Clean Slate – the Official Nerfed Llamas Review Full Disclosure: I love Dana Carvey! Sincerely, I believe with all my heart that he was the single best talent that ever came from Saturday Night Live, with Bill Murray a very close second. He won an Emmy for his work at SNL performing and creating such amazing characters like the Church Lady, Hans, Garth, George Bush, and the Grumpy Old Man, to name a few. So nobody was more thrilled than myself, when Mr. Carvey started headlining films in the early 90’s. Opportunity…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Logan’s Run #RunRunner

Packy - Head Llama

LOGAN’S RUN Hailed as the “first motion picture of the 23rd century”, Logan’s Run was a wild and burgeoning sci-fi tumbleweed of an ambitious film. You dare to doubt me on this? Watch the original 3 minute long trailer here and bask in the hyper stylized world that is Logan’s Run. There is visually striking architecture everywhere, post apocalyptic overtones, Cirque du Soleil acrobatics, poofs of ecstasy like hedonistic smoke thrown into the air, sexy sexiness at every turn, all manner of futuristic technology and laser beams as far as the eye can see.…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Grindhouse #itsgogonotcrycry

Packy - Head Llama

2007’s theatrical release Grindhouse was the co-opted brain child of filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The concept was simple, make a double feature that hearkened back to the days of the old 1970s “grindhouse” films (although these type of films have been around since the 1930s), which were usually low budget exploitation films about bizarre subjects, monsters, violence, sadism, sex, and fast cars. Characteristically, these films had poor production value, abysmal film quality and were usually shown in theaters as a double or triple bill. In tribute to the…

What a Week That Was… #readmyblog #dammit

What a week! It’s a been a roller-coaster trying to maintain this monstrosity of a blog the last few weeks. With so much going on in my personal and professional life, it’s been difficult to keep up with this non-paying part time job. But I’m back like a Spinal Tap this week! A full slate of content was unleashed on the masses: bed head, the start of an original story, movie reviews, and a web comic! Plenty to keep you entertained for quite a while. If you ever wanted to…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard of: DOA: Dead or Alive #DeadorAlive

Packy - Head Llama

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: DOA: Dead Or Alive – Not the Video Game Movie that We Deserve, but the Video Game Movie That We Need! Video games being made into live action movies: a dicey proposition at best. Quite a few have tried to make a decent flick out of a concept that originated as a video game and many have failed miserably (I’m looking specifically at you Uwe Boll & Andrzej Bartkowiak). That’s not to say that all of these films have been bad. On the contrary,…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Netherbeast Incorporated #eyeofthejackal

Packy - Head Llama

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Netherbeast Incorporated #eyeofthejackal There are some smaller movies that try so hard to feel comfortable in their own skin (Southland Tales, Garden State, and Juno to name a few), and bless their little hearts for trying, because they are in fact entertaining movies even though they will never find acceptance from a mass audience. They are good movies, and in some cases great movies, but because of the nature of their quirkiness or storytelling manner, they are found and loved but a minute pocket…

Best Movies That You’ve Never Heard of: Thunderheart #alwaysgettape

Packy - Head Llama

Best Movies That You’ve Never Heard of: Thunderheart – Always Get Tape! By and large, I spend my time watching highly re-watchable movies and TV genre shows: i.e. comedies, action, sci-fi, and horror. That is my wheelhouse, and it is where my comfort zone is. If I’m in the mood for a little background noise while I’m working around the house – or better still drawing for my upcoming web comic Nerfed Llamas! I toss a staple in the Blu Ray player: The X-Files, Fringe, Hot Tub Time Machine, Trancers,…

Best Movies That You’ve Never Heard of: #Hysteria

Packy - Head Llama

Hysteria – Official Nerfed Llamas Review Sometimes a movie comes out of nowhere and surprises you with its brilliance. It is rare, but it does happen. Hysteria is just such a film. Fun fact: I wasn’t even looking for a new movie to watch when I happened onto a trailer for a movie titled: Hysteria. I more or less was goofing off on YouTube and the trailer popped up as a recommendation based on my viewing history. Here is the trailer that I am referring to: If you watched the…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Free Enterprise 

Packy - Head Llama

I am a nerd. A nerd of the kind of variety that would make most people say, “dafuq?” I’m that dork that can tell you that Captain America and the Falcon fight Spider-Man in issue 138 before becoming bros and teaming up to defeat Stone-Face. I watch shows like the Middleman and laugh at all of the jokes because I get every single one of the references. So when I heard that there was a movie that would challenge my nerdiness, I knew I had to check it out! Free…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Tapeheads

Packy - Head Llama

“Any ordinary man would have given it up by now!” In my treasure trove of favorite movie experiences, few match the wit, mirth and profound charm that is baked into the 1988 classic: Tapeheads. Directed by Bill Fishman, a music video director who would go on to direct other excellent films based in the music biz such as “Reckless & Wild” and “My Dinner with Jimi”, Tapeheads is a wonderfully creative and humorous story of 2 best friends and their pursuit of their dreams. Josh (Tim Robbins) wants to make…
