Weirdsville

A simple, complicated Stoner Comedy
If you're looking for the next great independent movie that will make you think and change the way you look at the world... keep looking. But if you want to laugh yourself silly while scratching your head at the insanity at the same time, then this is the movie for you. Weirdsville is by the Director of Empire RecordsEmpire Records (Remix! Special Fan Edition), Allan Moyle and it has Scott Speedman as one of the stars (Michael from UnderworldUnderworld (Widescreen Special Edition)). It is about a few druggy friends who owe a local dealer way too much money, and they have no way to pay him back. While they're trying to figure out how to stay alive, one of them over doses and dies. The guys decide to bury her body and are discovered by Satanists... this leads to a high speed chase, an armed robbery, a group of little people who are into Medieval...

Moving up with Taryn Manning
Actually, I wasn't going to review this film for a couple reasons. One was that it was pretty obscure and the other was that I really had a hard time deciding if I really liked it or not, but then I realized that this blonde in WEIRDSVILLE was Taryn Manning, who was also in two films that I blasted here at AMAZON.COM. Well, fair is fair and I am forgiving of THE CULT and THE BREED. While Taryn isn't the main reason I liked this film, I did think she did a good job, even though she spent a good part of the movie as a corpse. The heroes of this movie were Wes Bentley and Scott Speedman. They were in trouble with a loan shark but also had the problem of disposing of the aforementioned corpse and these two brilliant fellas decide to bury her at a drive in theater. For a couple losers already near the bottom, things go downhill pretty fast but in a glorious ending, things all work out. I thought they did okay, but in my opinion, the film was stolen by Maggie Castle, the girl in the...

WE BASK IN THE LIGHT OF THE DARK LORD
The movie starts out letting us know 2 guys are going to break into a home, then it goes into a flashback to one week earlier. These two men, Dexter and Royce (Scott Speedman, Wes Bentley) owe $1700 to a drug dealer (Raoul Bhaneja), but can't pay. Rather than getting their thumbs broken, they agree to sell drugs for him. Bently's girlfriend is also a $50 escort, but not a hooker. She has an idea. She knows a rich guy who is sick and out of town. His house will be empty for a week, and she knows the combination to his safe. They simply go in and take the money and pay off the drug dealer.

Bam! Next scene, the girl (Taryn Manning) is on the floor dead. She OD by taking all the dope the guys were supposed to sell. At this point I am hooked on the movie. Kudos. Now I am wondering why her picture is on the cover? Is this another Steven Seagal in "Executive Decision?" They opt to bury the dead hooker in the basement of a building (drive-in movie) they were formally employed...
