1UP (2022)
Fun and Funny and a must see for video game fans!
Ok if you like video games Then IGNORE the bad reviews and see 1Up it's FREE on amazon prime ... full disclosure not every joke lands it's not a perfect movie but has a great cast and it's funny and fun and has plenty of fun video game easter eggs and hey it's made by Kyle Newman who made Fanboys! ( p.s. If u have never seen Fanboys it's one of my fave movies of all time it's WAY funny it's about a some star wars fans who set out to sneak into Skywalker ranch to see the Phantom Menace before it hits theaters)...
The R rating is because it's crude --- for an R movie it's not that bad. Not for kids though.
Electric Jesus (2020)
VERY funny and heartfelt!
ANYONE who likes comedies ( so almost EVERYONE ) will enjoy this! VERY funny and heartfelt movie about a Christian hard rock/metal band who goes on tour in the summer of 1986. Brian Baumgartner (who plays Kevin on The Office ) is the band's promoter.
If you happen to dislike or even despise CHRISTIAN movies, don't worry - this is just a really good comedy. And to those who were wondering if this movie throws Christians under the bus-- it doesn't. The movie is made with love and respect but is DEFINITELY not afraid to point out flaws. Often, it is just showing how Christians talked, felt and believed at the time. It has fun with the culture, resulting in plenty of laughs but is not irreverent.
You don't have to be familiar with the Christian music scene of the 80s to understand or appreciate the movie but if you are you will find plenty of cool Easter eggs. The songs are really cool and despite the at times ridiculously silly lyrics, they get stuck in your head and you can't help but sing along. The soundtrack is brilliant ( composed by Daniel Smith of indie rock/folk band Danielson). One of my favorite movies!
