Summary: A college film for the new millenia
Review: ...This movie is one of the funniest college films to come out in recent years. It's a darker look at college life as five friends cheat their way to a 4.0 their sophmore year while doing nothing more than doing drugs and shooting things ... and the occasional kidnapping. It's based on stuff that actually happened in the life of the director/writer, which makes it that much funnier. The DVD is full of extra features that add to the insanity, such as the Helen Keller version of the movie, and a documentary of actual footage of the people the movie is based on. The perfect movie to watch during a night of drinking with friends, it makes everyone else's life seem a little more normal.

Summary: The definitive look at what college was ultimately all about
Review: ...or how I fooled my parents into spending a lot of money so I could be a degenerate. This film has underground cult status written all over it. Far superior to the milk toast coming of age fair we have been tortured by for years, this movie pulls no punches. It is difficult to describe the misadventures of the five primary characters....suffice it to say a number of laws of state, nature, and morality are grossly violated. Unlike the usual streotype's, the characters are true to life. It's impossible to watch them and not thnik, "I knew a guy just like that!" This is a very funny film, punctuated by moments of brilliance.

Summary: John Hussar is the next Kevin Smith
Review: Blur of Insanity is a slice of life movie that follows a circle of friends throughout their various exploits, most of which stem from boredom. It's very much in the same vein as Kevin Smith's movies, particularly "Clerks". From setting matchbox cars on fire and elaborate schemes for cheating on college exams to a romp in a whore house massage parlor - this movie has it all. The best part is that like Smith's movies, many of the characters are based on actual people. In fact, the DVD includes a great documentary featuring a number of the "real" people's exploits. Despite the vast number of rehashed teen and college movies that have been coming out in the past few years, I still found this movie to be as refreshing as it was entertaining.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: Blur of Insanity was a great movie. I just graduated college a few years ago and it brought back some awesome memories. A little darker and deeper than most "college" movies, it certainly wasn't your typical stoner movie. Lots of great quotes and scenes that young people could relate to.

Summary: Brilliantly funny and engaging entertainment for adults
Review: I am well beyond college age (a 55-year old Ph.D. psychologist), but not so old that I can't remember the crazy days of "sex, drugs, and rock and roll." John Hussar brilliantly captures the high-spirited, madcap adventures of a group of street-smart, if NOT scholarly, college kids in their efforts to enjoy life and succeed in school at the same time...not an easy task! The characters are uniquely quirky, each adding a different dimension to the overall mania of the story. It is extremely well written, acted, directed, and scored, with the look of a high-budget studio film. I especially love the unexpected juxtaposition of classical music with the actions of these wild and crazy kids on a mission to salvage their college careers without exerting too much effort. Fabulous entertainment for those of us who are still young at heart, and want them to succeed, despite their distinctly original approaches to that goal. The movie has the ring of truth for those of us who were young in the 60's, and I recommend it highly to other "never say die" boomers, as well as college kids...I love the zany plot, the characters, and the interplay among them; BUY THIS MOVIE! You won't regret it.

Summary: What I *really* did in college
Review: I bought this DVD on the advice of friends and was not disappointed. It chronicles the adventures of 5 friends in their sophomore year in college. Throw in a good mix of alcohol and other sordid substances, firearms, a cabin in the woods, fireworks and, oh yes, a Magic 8-Ball and you've got the makings of one hysterical movie. Ah, if only college was like that when I went.

Summary: Just a flat out good movie!!
Review: I first saw this movie on one of the 2 VHS tapes that were floating around the Northeast about a year and a half ago. I fell in love with the story, the movie, and the memories that it brought back for me of college. Being lucky enough to work in radio, I did some research and was able to meet and become friends with John (the writer/director) and Damon (the producer). Believe me, there were even more stories that did not make the movie that one day need to be told. I have had the pleasure to do many promotions involving Blur. Everyone who I have shown the movie to agrees that not only is the movie genius on its own merit, it is also THE most honest tale of REAL college life that has ever been produced. I consider myself fortunate simply to own a copy of this film!! Boomer
