THE PUPPET MONSTER MASSACRE

Remember Team America: World Police?  Of course you do.  Well that was a puppet action movie that cost 30 million dollars and had a hard R-rating all but guaranteeing that even if it made a profit it would labeled a ‘fascinating failure’ or ‘cult classic’.  Well here is another R-rated puppet movie, but this time the genre is horror instead of action and the budget is about 31 million dollars less.  The box touts the film as a “wild and raucous love letter to the monster films of the glorious 1980s” but I find that claim highly dubious.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Where do celebrities come from?  Other celebrities?  Not always!  Now you can watch famous people (Sarah Jessica Parker, Emmit Smith, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Broderick, Brooke Shields, Susan Sarandon, Spike Lee) track down their ancestors with the help of expert genealogists and historians.  Long-unsolved family mysteries are finally cracked, distant relatives in foreign lands are befriended, and some people are surprised to learn that they’re more black/less black than they thought.

They really should have used Jean Knight’s Mr. Big Stuff as the theme song.
