Summary: Get Ready For This One!
Review: This movie is amazing. Amazing in the way it effects people. One in five will love it, the other four will hate it, all five will never stop talking about it. I saw this movie when it hit the theaters in NYC in 1970. I, as everybody else in the theater, was confused. For some reason we thought the movie was a fifties revival movie. No one was prepared to see a return of Jesus to the wild west. I bought a copy of this movie and view it at least once a year. It takes me a year to recover. After viewing it many times with others, the power of this movie never fails to exert itself on it's viewers. I have aquaintances who saw this move over twelve years ago. They still bring it up (or blame me for it) when they see me now. About four years ago I read the Bagavad Gita a number of times. One of the many insights I enjoyed was .... "what Greasers Palace was about." After viewing this movie numerous times since 1970, I finally got it. It is worth getting and viewing this movie and trying to figure out why it upsets people so much. Greasers Palace does something to dig into the psyche. When I watch Mick Jagger in the movie "Performance," I wonder how that movie could have become the leading cause of in-theater violence in U.S. history. Like "Greasers Palace," it makes you wonder.

Summary: Who is he gip
Review: This movie is one of the best movies of all time featuring such memorable lines as Herve Valaquez yelling for his male, flannel night gown bearded lover, "Petuniaaaaaa . . . Petuniaaaaaaa" or the recurring line throughout the movie, "Who is he gip" or the other line, "If ya feel yer healed" -- this is a can't miss movie.

Summary: A Bent Classic
Review: This truly warped classic almost defies description. A zoot-suited Jesus Christ parachutes into the old west. He is on his way to Jeruselem to be a star. All he wants to do is sing and dance and he gets to do both at Greaser's Palace...a saloon run by Seaweedhead Greaser, who spends a lot of time in a lofty outhouse trying to entice a bowel movement, while the townsfolk (and a mariachi band) wait below in anticipation. I don't know if this movie has a hidden message and I don't really care. It is prime lunacy from start to finish (why is that Indian smacking himself on the back, mercilessly, with an old boot?) and if it was meant to offend religious people, I think it succeeds gloriously. This movie belongs on your shelf next to other genre classics like "....And God Spoke", "Life Of Brian" and "Dogma".
Get your copy now....this one's a real jaw-dropper!!
