Not the Messiah - He's a Very Naughty Boy

This week's suggestion is mainly for you Monty Python fans - 2010's Not The Messiah.

Filmed at a one-time only showing at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Eric Idle and John Du Prez, the creators of Spamalot, give Python's Life of Brian the same treatment as they did Holy Grail (Spamalot).

This is not a play, as Spamalot is. Rather it's an oratorio - meaning it's just singers, Eric Idle and some memorable cameos standing on-stage in front of a symphony orchestra. There isn't much acting unfortunately, mainly singing.

The other slight drawback for me was that it made me want to watch Life of Brian again (oh nooooooo!)

The singers, orchestra and choir are all excellent and it's a really good show. So if you enjoy Monty Python I'd recommend renting this.

Zombieland

Time to change things up - in more ways than one.

2009's Zombieland is a lot more mainstream than I usually review but...

Every once in a while you watch a movie that captures your sense of humor so perfectly that it becomes an instant classic - like Tremors, Clerks, Supertroopers and now Zombieland.

It's about...it's a zombie flick, do you really need a plot summary??

And like the other movies I just mentioned, this is NOT to be taken too seriously. (Zombie flick!) Sure it's predictable in spots, but it more than makes up for that with it's humor.

This has instantly become my favorite zombie movie, by far. Sorry, George A. Romero, I love the idea of the zombie allegory, but Zombieland is such a pleasure to watch, it's got you beat.

It's not nearly as scary as most zombie movies and not as gory. Although there is some gore. (Zombie flick!)

Rent Zombieland!
