American Experience: Tupperware! (2004) Season 16, Episode 6

I've got that tupper-feeling, all in my head.....

[10/10 · 2 November 2003]

When I first heard of this film , I thought to myself "a film about Tupperware? That's odd.....no way can this be entertaining!" But I went and saw it at my schools film festival anyway! One of the reasons was because Robin, one of the co-producers, was here promoting the film and always ready to field any questions we posed to her.

Now, after having seen it, I have to say: GO SEE TUPPERWARE! Although the song will get stuck in your head for at least a couple of days, it is an immensely enjoyable film, comprised almost completely of home movie footage from the 50's, which is what gives it such a warm and personal feel. I learned things about Tupperware I didn't know I wanted to learn, and was very entertained in the process.

If this Film comes to a festival near you, go see it, if you can't make it, then tune in to PBS on February 9th 2004 and enjoy! If you ever read this, keep up the good work Robin!

I Woke Up Early the Day I Died (1998)

A great homage to Edward D. Wood Jr.

[20 September 2003]

Ed Wood's "I woke up early the day I died" is unbelievably impossible to get a hold of, since it has only ever been released on video in Germany, but once I got myself a copy and watched it, I was happy I did.

As a die hard Ed Wood fan, I loved watching this film. In true Ed Wood film making fashion, they used cheesy props, a load of stock footage, and single takes, with continuity errors and dodgy editing.

My only question now is: where can I get my hands on a copy of the soundtrack?

The fact that this movie was even made and that so many random stars are in it just goes to show how much of an impact the "worst director of all times" had on the film industry and all that work in it!

A must see for every Wood fan, and for anyone who likes weird and dodgy movies.

The Tick (2001–2002)

Dialogue that fries your brain...a must for all fans

[1 November 2001]

Very seldom does a comic book successfully venture from cartoon to live action, but the Tick takes this transition in leaps and bounds, sadly not yelling "SPOON" as he does so, but nevertheless, The Tick kicks ass!
