    Forget "Dances with Samurai" or whatever the Xmas movie flavor of the week is...go see this movie. Awesome moviegoing experience - smart, quirky, funny.

    Bruce Campbell is Elvis. Ossie Davis is JFK. They are residents of a small-town nursing home in Texas and battle a soul-sucking mummy who wears cowboy attire. How could a movie like that not be good?

    Playing at Landmark River Oaks in Houston.

    Saw this movie Friday night. Instant classic - Bruce Campbell makes a great Elvis. Some of the funniest one-liners I have ever heard!

    Sweet! I love Bruce, and I was waiting on this movie. I had no idea it had been released, though, so I am definitely going to go check it out as soon as possible.

    I was ecstatic to see it was being released here in Houston. Being a HUGE Bruce Campbell, I've been waiting to go see it. I plan on seeing it post haste.

    This movie had some absolutely hilarious scenes in it. Unfortunately it was also pretty slow at times, but definately a pleasant surprise. Campbell's Elvis impression is top notch. This movie will be a cult classic.

    I think it's quirky and worthy, but don't do what I did.

    Do not go into the movie thinking you are going to have a delightful, side-splitting time with an underground cult classic. Just go in with zero expectations, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

    I got really hyped for this movie, but was really let down, even though Bruce is great. The script is kind of a one or two joke sort of thing.

    Bah, that's what I get for pulling an all nighter and dayer. You'd think I'd rememeber "fan" if I hadn't been brain dead.
