Summary: pretentious hip drivel
Review: A wild, many-layered tale of caballeros, saloon girls, mariachis and healing,this most remarkable movie places the Holy Trinity (yes, that Father, Son and Holy Ghost!) in the late 19th century Wild West. Truly a masterpiece. This film is worth seeing over and over again.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: "I shake my white locks at the runaway sun..."
Review: Addendum to my previous review of "Greaser's Palace": in this film, God The Father looks like Walt Whitman. Since we all know that to be truly the case, it is another reason to recommend the film.

Summary: pretentious hip drivel
Review: I can't comment on the quality of the DVD, not having seen it and not intending to, but I recall the movie from 30 odd years ago because it was so painfully unfunny and pretentiously hip. I am surprised that anyone bothered to keep a print of this drivel to transfer to DVD. If you want something witty and surreal, buy a Bunuel film. Greaser's Palace richly deserves its obscurity.

Summary: Instant B-fest Classic!
Review: I had the extreme pleasure of seeing this film at A&O Films B-fest 2001. Wow! It's so hard to describe, but if you're into strange things this is a definite must see. It is guaranteed to mess with your head and keep you begging for more. When I tell people about this movie they just don't believe me. Yes, there really is a mariachi band playing every time that guy goes to the toilet!

Summary: This film will mess you up.
Review: It's a good thing that Robert Downey opted to run the credits first, because after you see the film, you have to sit there and try to process exactly what you just saw. You kind of have an inkling that it had something to do with the New Testament and the Old/Wild West, but somewhere along the way SOMEBODY dropped the brown acid just to see if it was as bad as they said it was at Woodstock. And you know what? It was.

This is a film you will want to show to your friends to see how they react...much like the British couple that kept the placenta from their most recent child's birth, made a pate and served it to friends at a dinner party. Just remember...your friends may not feel up to operating a car or any other kind of heavy machinery after viewing this.

Don't you want to buy it now?

Summary: Jesus-Krishna
Review: Jesus copulates with a young woman in the front cab of a surrey-with-the-fringe-on-top. He does quite a good job of it-their ecstasy is such that said surrey collapses. Was reminiscent of the fable of Krishna and the milkmaids (although this paralell theme here is handled with ridiculous, outrageous humor- that's fine, humor doesn't have to take a back seat to solemnity!).

Also stuff about valuing humanity over technological comfort- meaning, as a cautionary not to become too enamored of the creation of man instead of recognizing the value of the creation of God.

Also stuff about how some meanness in this world could be the result of dyspepticism.

Good camera work. Good music (which creates a religious feel).

Way to go, Robert Downey, Sr.!!!
