Since most of the entertainment consuming troglodites of middle America have less a brain on their shoulders than an empty husk, "Death to Smoochy", a film attacked by the 'critics' who nobody really likes but everyone trusts, will more than likely flop at the box office. Typical, but sad. "Smoochy" is brilliant, brutal, funny, and edgy the way no other comedy has been in years. We have not seen a film like it in some time (with the possible exception of "Novocain"). It never moves the easy way out. The jokes are like comedy hits to the skull: rapid paced and sometimes painful to watch. Just take the pain and enjoy the ride.

Most film these days only seem to take a few months to reach "cult" status, but if "Smoochy" ever finds it's niche, it may take a while. Never fear, you haven't heard the last of Rainbow Randolph!

"Food of the Gods" is amazingly bad in almost every sense. The script is just senseless, the special effects are laughable, and the violence is obviously overdone. But who cares? The acting's pretty good, and it's FUNNY. Just watch this and try not to laugh. It's so ridiculous that it becomes pure, guilty entertainment. It's not a movie to admire, to study, or to praise, but it it's much more entertaining then such films as "Pearl Harbor", which spent $2 000 000 to produce something that was just as terrible, but not nearly as fun.
