Soggy Bottom USA 1981 - The Film With Three Brains Review E097

Soggy Bottom USA might imply you’ll wet your pants watching this swampy comedy. Or, not. This moonshinin', dog-racin', country-singin', fur-tradin', boat-buildin' crime/con/love story explores the moviemaking sin of becoming so 'bogged' down with subplot, its real purpose becomes murkier than a steamin' dog fart (which is actually a highlight). Come on, y'all--hear our best review yet!

Richard Pryor (after the fire) is a pitcher who can get 10x richer if he spends 30mil whilst revealing nil, leaving nothing to his name at the end of this one-month inheritance game. Is this high stakes remake worth a second take... or just a head shake?

April Fools Day 1986 - The Film With Three Brains Review E094

The Friday the 13th producer made this much tamer murder mystery about a group of friends spending a scary night in an old house on an island. It begs the question: does April Fool's Day put the laughter in slaughter? Or is it just a joke?

9 To 5 1980 - The Film With Three Brains Review E091

Dolly Parton steals scene after scene from Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in this revenge comedy about three women getting even with their misogynistic boss. Do jokes about inequality still ring true? And does anyone really work 9 to 5 in this new economy? Punch in for the punchline.

Little Voice 1998 - The Film With Three Brains Review E090

A demure mimic sounds golden to sleazy star-maker, Michael Caine when he hears the pitch-perfect imitation of her late father's favorite songbirds (Ella, Judy, Marlene, Marilyn, Shirley). Little Voice's motormouth mom, under his sugar-tongued spell, dreams of riches, romance and rescue... in no particularly order. This sleeper comedy earned more awards nominations than money but is it still worth singing its praises?

Beat Street 1984 - The Film With Three Brains Review E088

Rushed to the screen (just behind rival flick, Breakin') to capitalize on the breakdancing fad, this forgotten flick captures the birth of hip hop like no other. Do the Robot, beatbox and graffiti deserve a remix? Put on some old school headphones and hear us spin.

A Fish Called Wanda 1988 - The Film With Three Brains Review E087

Four thieves steal diamonds as a team but when it comes to dividing the loot, double crosses abound in John Cleese's comedy. This forgotten award-winning film is clever, nearly farcical, just don't call it s-s-stupid. Steal some time to tune in!

Race With The Devil 1975 - The Film With Three Brains Review E086

This Peter Fonda, Warren Oates vehicle is literally a 36 ft camper. It's also a front runner for the horror on wheels genre. There's no devil, but a bunch of ne'er-do-well Texan Satanists armed with rattlesnakes chasing our heroes... why wouldn't you want to watch this?

The Cable Guy 1996 - The Film With Three Brains Review E085

Jim Carrey stars as The Cable Guy who tries too hard to make friends with a customer (Matthew Broderick, again!) and things go haywire. This Ben Stiller comedy was too dark for 90's critics but what about today's audiences? Lighten up and listen... "no big deeeeeeeal."
