Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)

The Spoof Comedy We Deserve

[9/10 · 7 October 2022]

An absolute riot of hilarious spoof & parody comedy about "Weird" Al Yankovic's 100% true exciting and wildly outrageous life story. Daniel Radcliffe transcends into Al and guides us through this heart wrenching insane, delightful story. This film is full of amazing performances from all cast and is packed with fun, surprising cameos. It's been a while since a parody spoof comedy that was this well crafted, and this one delivers. Eric Appel & Al Yankovic wrote one heck of a script that does not miss a beat, each scene carrying into the next and surprising the audience each step of the way. This film, in my opinion, deserves some kind of a theatrical run. It's way too much fun with a crowd.

This show can go deep

[9/10 · 28 May 2022]

Star Wars can go deep, and this part takes the plunge. Can't wait to see where we go. I give this a 9/10 because of the prequel recap and Obi-Wan's ptsd dream. Here's to hoping the show can keep up.

Who Is the Mannequin? (2014)

Strong Production

[1/10 · 15 August 2014]

Jump Ship Productions always brings something new to the table. This film in particular brings a quirky, and funny turn on the noir genre. I applaud their skills as a production team. The production was not high budget, but Jump Ship was able to draw me in with their unique storytelling. The camera operating, and shot selection was appropriate and supported the quirky, comic edge to the film. The post-production work, especially, was done effectively and flawlessly. With these skills it would not surprise me that they push it to the next level in their following project. All around, a high quality production by a team that can handle any and all challenges. Definitely worth a watch!
