Dorkgasm Gonzo Is God

            If you never forgave Val Kilmer for what he did to Batman, I think you should see The Salton Sea. In what is arguably his defining role, the Kilmer plays a character you never saw coming in, oddly enough, a film you most likely haven't seen.

            Imagine if you will, the geniuses at Saturday Night Live (back before it started to suck) did a 2.25 hour long parody of VH1's Behind the Music. You got the image? Great, now make it really, really funny. Include copious amounts of dick and fart humor, more non-sequiturs than an entire season of family guy and you have quite possibly the funniest movie of 2007, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. All hyperbole aside, this film is funny enough to make a gay man go straight, a genius go retarded, and a stuck up film elitist douchebag critic/comedian (cough me cough cough) laugh until they almost choked.

            I've had arguments with more than one friend of mine as to what Eli Roth's masterpiece has been so far. I've always thought that the original Hostel is a work of art. A film that challenges the boundaries of what is acceptable as far as sexuality and violence in cinema. Cabin Fever on the other hand, while also exceptional, doesn't work so hard to challenge your perceptions, but works on a camp value and has a gore level that's second to none. The merit of both films is far from questioning, but when it comes down to what will inevitably be the timeline of Roth, where will Hostel: Part II land?
