The first thing to ask yourself when thinking about watching a movie titled Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong is this: Are you able to switch off your brain and embrace some mildly entertaining, low budget lunacy from the good folks at Full Moon? The titular characters from the Gingerdead Man and Evil Bong series meet in a movie which should, at the very least, satisfy fans of either franchise. The film might service the Evil Bong series slightly more, but there's enough foul mouthed dough-boy Gingerdead man to go around. Larnell is the only one of the stoner quad to return along with Rabbitt, the friend/foil of the series. Larnell and his height-challenged head-shop employee String find themselves in the path of destruction when Gingerdead man decides to take out Sarah Leigh (from the original Gingerdead Man) once and for all! It ain't high art, folk. But if you're in the market for something light and stupid from Full Moon, have at 'er. And at least it isn't as awful as Puppet Master vs. Demonic Toys.

From Keoni Waxman, director of Maximum Conviction and A Dangerous Man, returns with Seagal to bring you Force of Execution, an action/crime movie showcasing several interesting performances with a lot of tepid dialogue and clichés.

The movie follows, mostly, Bren Foster as he portrays the protégé of sorts to crime boss Mr. Alexander (Seagal), who is pulled out of premature retirement when a sadistic up-and-comer (Ving Rhames) begins killing his way to the top.

The Pros: Steven Seagal turns in an enigmatic performance as Mr. Alexander as he sports, for the first time, a mean goatee. His fights are well choreographed as are Bren Fosters', who is also fun to watch. Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo are, as always, reliably efficient.

The Cons: As a Seagal fan, it's a bit of a drag to see him almost take a backseat to somebody else. The entire plot is also quite predictable.

Final Verdict: Seagal fans be sure to watch but prepare to miss the big guy for around half the movie.
