Don't Mess With Texas Baby!
Synopsis : Opening in a rest home in Texas, we come to learn the "true" story of what happened to Elvis Presley. During his stay he also meets up with John F. Kennedy and they join forces to battle an evil Egyptian Soul Sucker named Bubba Ho Tep who preys on the souls of the other residents of Mud Creek Rest Home.

Plot : An absolutely hilarious and well thought out story. America's obsession on whether Elvis is dead, this movie should be shown everywhere!!! Great storytelling, well acted and just an overall good time with this movie!

Cast/Characters : How can you go wrong with Bruce Campbell? You can't!!! He brings his style of humor to the screen once again and we get to see other familiar faces like Ozzie Davis and Reggie Banister. Campbell's presentation of Elvis was hilarious, this was definitely a role he was meant to play!

F/X : Effects were mainly limited to just the presentation of "The Mummy" and it was a job well done. If this creature had appeared in a more haunting type horror movie it would definitely be spooky-goodness! F/X team did a wonderful job.

Jekyll's Final Thoughts : Hail to the King baby! What a truly amazing and fun movie. Humor was top notch and Campbell was in the zone! This is a must see for any fan of his and just a good ole campy type horror movie. Run, don't walk...find this movie to watch! You won't regret it. 5 star rating!! www.horror-web.com

ELVIS battling arachnids and mummies? Who'da thunk it?!?
"Bubba Ho-tep" combines the unique comedy stylings of the "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun" movies with the "insaneness" of the "National Lampoon" variety of films, and add to this the horrifics of "Night of the Living Dead" (on a small scale), and you have one colossal motion picture. This combination comedy/horror/drama is unlike the typical offering of 2003, in that it has an individual brand of humor, which makes "Bubba Ho-tep" stand head and shoulders above typical mainstream fare. Bruce Campbell's portrayal of "The King of Rock 'n Roll" is absolutely hilarious and off-the-wall, and Campbell's narration in the typical ELVIS vocal mode, takes the coveted Golden Award for sheer depth and machismo. Besides echoing "The King" nuance by nuance, Campbell also gets most of the best phrases and lines in the entire movie. Ossie Davis produces a spectacular performance as well, as "ex-president" John Kennedy (JFK), or so he thinks he's the REAL JFK. Both ELVIS and JFK team up as super sleuths when mysterious disappearances suddenly pop up at the Mud Creek Retirement Home in Texas. As further clues surface, not only does the situation become more perplexing with each disappearance, further hilarity ensues as well. But, ancient creatures aren't the only things ELVIS and JFK have to contend with, as a certain species of beetle wreaks havoc on the lives of the residents of Mud Creek, especially "The King". Yes, with all the doldrums suffered by many during this holiday season, it's worth a few precious bucks to see a facsimile of ELVIS go upside a mummy's head with a walker, and discover a new use for a hospital bedpan. Director Don Coscarelli breathes life into this picture, with his awesome display of special effects and use of various camera angles. My only complaint about this particular viewing, is that the English subtitles at the bottom of the screen were only half-visible, making them difficult to read. But that didn't detract from my enjoyment of this intelligently crafted movie. With a virtual banquet of goodies displayed in full-force, "Bubba Ho-tep" is certain to please even the most skeptical moviegoer - even die-hard ELVIS fans. So, take a two-step down to your local theater, and view "Bubba Ho-tep" this holiday season. The DVD and video are sure to make late, great stocking stuffers as well. Heck, even ELVIS himself would want to own a copy - and upon viewing, he'd most likely remark: "Bubba Ho-tep" is the king of all movies. Thank you, thank you very much!". Really, he would - trust me!
