Basher Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Ran across an ad for this in Now. http://www.potluckmovie.com/ Opens today at Canada Square, Bloor Cinema and Market Square. I don't know anything about it, but here are some kudos from their site: "A laugh-out-loud stoner romp!" --- The Phantom of the Movies "It's a mad, mad, mad marijuana Comedy... Brilliant... CHEECH AND CHONG MEET THE SOPRANOS!" --- Ira H. Gallen, Video Airwaves "A refreshing, endearing, warm comedy with heart... The screenplay gives us one of the quirkiest comedy pairings in years... This movie is a whole new way to get whacked!" --- Roy Frumkes, Films in Review "A delirious crazy quilt of a movie... This movie is hold-onto-your-sides, double-over, fall-out-of-your-seat funny... Frank Adonis delivers a powerful, sensitive, touchingly funny performance as the longtime mod soldier... Dan Lauria turns the mob boss into an intricately layered role... Tow time Oscar nominee Sylvia Miles gives a wonderfully warped performance... Frank Gorshin sparkles... All the performances are uniformly good to great... Writers Victor Colicchio and Nick Iacovino bring us a cast of zanies on the edge, yet of-so-very human that we identify, and in many cases, empathize with and really care about them... Director Alison Thompson's first feature looks like a seasoned veteran was at the tiller" --- Lissa Moira, Stage Press Weekly "A briefcase full of dope, a bunch of shady fellows, a gorgeous punk-band singer and a family that is not very classy: they all come together in one hell of a movie from the Manhattan underground-scene. "High Times Potluck" plays with stereotypes and uses reminiscences of "The Godfather" and the German expressionist movement to characterize its protagonists. Above all this is a screwball-indie-comedy, co-produced by the legendary magazine "High Times" with a soundtrack to get addicted to." --- Torsten Neuman, Internationales Film Fest Oldenburg (Germany) "High Times' Potluck is as much fun as "Lammbock," "Saving Grace" and "Lock, Stock and Two Barrels." In her directorial debut, Alison Thompson manages to find just the right tone for a comedy that promises an amasing evening. --- MOX (Germany) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 I meant to mention this before... I'd like to check it out at the bloor cinema, for the midnight showing. It'll be a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted October 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Well, I am making a concerted effort NOT to do ANY work today, so I am a news posting fiend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 What do you think the odds are of Mule being done before midnight? Maybe we could head over to the Bloor after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
