I like your dance at the beginning it made me and my roommate laugh when you just cut it off. Also as a side question I’ve been wondering what your opinion is on Troma films? I love the first “Nuke’em High” movie for its stupid silly charm, but the second movie is just awful. The second one actually made me yell at the movie to stop trying to be funny.
I didn’t think Silver Bullet was a good film, but I really was shocked at how awful Teen Wolf was. This review was such a breath of fresh air. I have theories that Teen Wolf is bad in its soul. It’s not a fun movie. It’s ugly. It isn’t smart. It knows no joy. It doesn’t tackle any serious issues, yet Michael J. Fox is awkward to the point of it being uncomfortable to watch. And, then when he starts using his wolf powers- he’s terrorizing an innocent old man because he’s doing his job. His best friend is a homophobe. The movie doesn’t care about any of the women he sees. He’s not even a prize himself. No one looks good in this movie. So, you’d think it’s a serious movie then about being a teenager and struggling with… Nope. It’s just a dumb teen comedy that says “be yourself” is its message but, really, it was saying the Wolf Michael J. Fox was cool all along because that’s the movie’s gimmick.

For some reason, I find the cover image to be amusing. I’m actually surprised that you’re not a fan of the first one.

I agree the Nuke ‘Em High sequels are… just not good.
