Jacomedi A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!
malooga-1 Hi everybody. I've started a website devoted to this movie at www.malooga.com. Guess who stopped by the other day? Mr. Maloogaloogaloogaloogalooga himself! Yes, Allan Katz emailed me to say thanks for keeping the dream alive. He explained why the movie has not been released on DVD. It was owned originally by Vestron. When they went out of business, the new owners sold off all the international rights, and decided not to release it into theaters. Eventually this company was bought by Lions Gate, who I assume now have it in the vault. I've emailed them asking to have it released on DVD, but have had no response yet.We all know how great the movie is and maybe if lots of us email Lions Gate, they'll consider a DVD. It's a longshot, but hey, this is a cult film and it's going to take a lot of pressure to get what we want.Please stop by the site and have a look and let me know what you think. Allan sent me the original script along with a never before seen photo of Bob and I've posted these on the site. I'm planning to put lots of video clips up in the near future to make it more interesting. I have links where you can buy the VHS and posters.
inspectors71 Big Man on Campus is a forgettable but pleasant little retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. It's pleasant because it's witty and silly and no one could get mad at Bob Maloogaloogaloogalooga (How many "loogas" are there supposed to be, anyway?). It's forgettable because other than some of the goofy stuff that the hunchperson says, there's not a single situation or person that really sticks to your memory.BMOC was recommended to me by a good friend some ten years ago. She thought it was hilarious, and it is for someone in the mood for, well, this movie. The weakness in the movie is that it fairly reeks of B-movie, bottom of the bill, late-night-on-Cinemax-before-the-porn-lite starts.Oh, well. If you find it and you have 90+ minutes to blow, why not. Just remember that when you get hungry and you order out for fried chicken, get the Two-Face meal.
sldub This is a great "bad" movie! It was one of my favorites in high school. I love Bob Maloogaloogaloogalooga....looga. It is very silly, and sometimes cheesy, but Bob rocks. A must see.
gridoon This film has some funny and touching moments, but it's only sporadically truly inspired. Allan Katz gives a very good performance as the title character, and it's a role that must have been more difficult and demanding that it appears at first. However, as others have said, Corey Parker's sub-Woody Allen puns are self-conscious and annoying. An OK film to watch, but the story just seems to go on and on and on...long after you're ready for it to end. (**)
