Bite Me!

Now, I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again...until someone tells me to shut my mouth, I loved the Drive Ins! I loved everything about them, from the crappy metal speakers that you had to drag into your car to the hot dogs that had probably been spinning on that plate since the Jurrasic era, I loved it all, and I miss it too! Why am I rehashing ground that I covered before? Well, because I just watch Bite Me!, a movie that the drive in was made for!



I've got to hand it to EI Cinema in general and writer/director Brett Piper specifically, Mr. Piper captures the feel of a drive in movie better than anyone on the planet. And, while to some that might seem like an insult, I've spoken with Mr. Piper and I know that he would take the commment as it was meant, as a compliment of the highest order!

Here's the story: When a small town strip club owner buys some imported marijuana to resell, he doesn't know that it's been tampered with by the U.S. government and that it's crawling with mutant bugs. Once the bugs are freed in the club, it's up to the strippers and a lone exterminator to save the day...and the world!

Bite Me! recalls all the best things that the drive in had to offer us, there's action, there's horror, there's gore, there's stop motion special effects (none of the cgi crap here!), there's plenty of T & A and (first and foremost) it's just an entertaining movie! I'm giving Bite Me! four fully lit, great quality cigars (the kind you could have smoked in your car at the drive in watching great movies like this), if you haven't seen it, you certainly should spend a Saturday afternoon enjoying it!

So, until next time, when I'll still be sitting here whining about the Drive In and how much I miss it, remember that the best movies are bad movies!
