| Ok who in there right mind dose not love a good, I mean so bad it‘s good, B-movie. There is no one who can complete with the king of B Bruce Campbell. If you agree with either statement above then My Name is Bruce is a must own. This movie is just plan fun. It is Bruce being Bruce, quick wit and classic one liners, up against a villain that looks like he would be at home on The Power Rangers. I am not saying that’s a bad thing, well kind of, but in this situation bad is better. The plot of this film is simple and contains every cliché you can think of. My Name is Bruce starts off with a song that will stick in your head for days. It’s the story of Gold Lick, Oregon and it’s resident evil Guan-di, the Chinese god of war and protector of the dead, and bean curd. Oh yeah and he keeps watch over the graves of Chinese miners lost in a deadly cave-in of yesteryear. Of course Guan-di is awakened by a group of teens one of which is the worlds biggest Bruce Campbell fan. With the town threatened by this evil Jeff (Taylor Sharpe) comes up with the ultimate plan. Kidnap his hero, Bruce Campbell, from a movie set and have him kill the monster. Bruce goes along with Jeff’s prank, convinced that its all an elaborate birthday present from his agent (Ted Raimi), and begins to enjoy the spoils of being a movie hero, including free liquor and Jeff’s attractive mother, Kelly (Grace Thorsen). But when confronted by a monster that’s not a guy in a rubber suit, Bruce dose what anyone would do. He runs for his life. Will he come back to save the day? Well you’ll just have to get the movie to find out. Well that’s the story, I told you it was simple. Now if this film was staring anyone else one might think it was just a pompous, ego film, but It’s Bruce so it works. This movie is deadly funny with tons of inside jokes. This was made for the fans. Ted Raimi is hilarious in his multiple role, the best being Wing. Toss in that cheesy monster and some good gore and we have a winner. Reviewed by: Jack |
