I don’t usually post on Fridays since Sloane’s got the day off and I try to spend some time with him. However, when there’s unintended vengeance involved then there just has to be a post.

Sloane and I sat down and watched Amazon Women on the Moon last night. I rather figured he’d like it since I thought it was his kind of comedy, being that he’s into Chevy Chase and all that. I think I had more fun watching him that I did the movie as I saw the looks of horror and fear channel themselves across his face.

I had a blast and hadn’t laughed that hard in a long time. He, on the other hand, said he understood how I felt after watching Big Trouble in Little China. When I realized I had melted his brain I was lost in a fit of laughter and scaring the cats away with it.

So, what is this movie about that it melted the brain of a Chevy Chase fan?

Amazon Women on the Moon is the name of the movie trying to play during a bunch of commercials and other snippets of shows. Its sketch comedy with the likes of Arsenio Hall, Michelle Pfeiffer too many more than I can name each doing their own 10 – 15 minutes little piece with various directors. Honestly hard to explain, but not to hard to enjoy, especially as it was done in the late 80s and you’re aghast to see some of the actors you see involved. Still, with John Landis’ name on it, I think most of the actors would have been foolish to pass it up, no matter how bad it was.

I enjoy it. There are pieces like Video Pirates, Son of the Invisible Man and Bullshit or Not – the case of Jack the Ripper, that just leave me rolling. And there are some, like Roast your Loved One, that walk the line of tastelessness.

It’s perfect for when you need a night of brain melting entertainment. I think it fits in with the category of Cult Classic.
