Rating: - NOTHING BUT TROUBLE (WARNER BROS./1991)
REVIEW: As the old cliche goes: comedy is a very subjective art form. What some people find hilarious to the point of hysterics, others may see as scraping the bottom barrel of stupidity. But if comedy itself is the hardest medium to master then BLACK comedy (that is: comedy which finds humor in the most distasteful of subject matter) is nearly impossible to bring across on screen or in front of a live audience unless you have an innate genius for such ribald material (a la Alfred Hitchcock or Mel Brooks).

Rating: - A weird movie, but sometimes weird is good
I notice that a lot of people either love or despise this film. Personally, I really liked it. The plot was fun, the scenary was great and many of the actors in it are people I hadn't seen in a movie in years. Ackroyd as a warped machanical genius set up in his own little Shire, hidden somewhere in the backwoods of New Jersey? Yeah, it doesn't make much sense but it does make for a few good laughs.
