Trailer

Strange Wilderness has an extremely simple plot., the movie’s about a motley crew who make a TV called Strange Wilderness. When the head of the network the show is aired on gives the creators two weeks to come up with a great idea to save their show. They are at a loss of what to do, and think that the show is doomed.

Until their camera man tells them that he has a map that will direct them to Bigfoot, so they pack up their van and go off to film the creature.

That is until their camera man tells them that he has a map that will direct them to Bigfoot, so they pack up their van and go off to film the creature.

The script was written loosely which gave the actors a lot of room scope from them to improve the lines in this movie. Not all the jokes in the movie work, but those that do are very funny indeed. The funniest scenes in the movie are when the presenter of Strange Wilderness, is doing the voiceover for the TV show.

The best line in the movie is when he is talking about monkeys, when he comes out with this “monkeys make up 80 percent of the worlds monkeys population”.

Strange Wilderness is not one of the best comedy movies that has ever been made, but it’s a million ways from being terrible. It succeeds in what it set out to do, which is to provide an entertaining night in the cinema. If you want a good laugh, then you go do a lot worse then going to see strange wilderness.

 

Neon Neon Stainless Style Review

Album: Stainless Style

Artist: Neon Neon

Label: Lex

Released: Monday 17^th Mar 2008

Below: Stainless Style Album cover

This is further proof that more often then not, records that receive little or no media attention are great listens. And this is such a release.

Maybe the music media cave this band a lot of coverage prior to this albums release. Maybe the hype was so massive that there was a New Years Eve style countdown in Time Square. If there were was any hype about Neon Neon it passed me by.

For those who don’t know, Neon Neon is a calibration between Gruff Rhys (he of super Furry Animals) and American musician Boom Bip. Their debut album, is a concept record about the life of John Z DeLorean, the fellow who stumped up the cash to make the DeLorean, which was the Back To The Future car, just encase you didn’t know who he was.

Making concept records at the best of times is a huge gamble, they took the gamble and it pays off.

This record is heavily influenced by 80’s electro power pop. This a fantastic release. This is a definite contender for the album of the year. Let’s hope that they duo have plans to release more music as Neon Neon.
