  BUBBA HO-TEP (R, 92 minutes) -- The idea sounds good on paper: An aging Elvis Presley (Bruce Campbell), who it turns out didn't die after all, teams up with up with fellow nursing-home resident Ossie Davis, playing a man who thinks he's JFK, to do battle with a murderous Egyptian mummy in a Stevie Ray Vaughan hat. On second thought, it doesn't sound that good after all. Campbell does give a touching, funny and grotesque performance as the King (though I could have done with a lot less dialogue about "little Elvis" and sexual dysfunction), though, in the end, this horror-comedy hybrid is neither particularly scary nor funny.
 
 Contains obscenity, partial nudity, brief violence, sexual discussion and gross bugs. Landmark's E Street Cinema.
 
 -- Michael O'Sullivan

"gross bugs"?!?!?!?!
 
 Well there's an in-depth review for you.
 
 What's that from - The Christian Science Bug Monitor?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

From the beloved Washington Post.
 
 I'm just yanking your chain. Glad you liked the film.

I never said I liked it - I sarcastically said it would win awards - gave a brief synopsis - then offered a few other opinions.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Just figured your use of overwhelmingly postive reviews might be evidence that you yourself like it.
 
 I've always thought Ebert was too sfot...he gives thumbs up to almost everything.

 So, for example, if I quote from Bush's State of the Union Address, that means I am endorsing it? Your argument doesn't hold much validity.

  I just saw a movie tonight that undoubtedly will sweep all the awards next year:        
 Bubba Ho-Tep
 

A friend of mine has been telling me about that film for the last couple of weeks.

what do you expect, Golem for best supporting actor?  i think there are 2 many actors to just nominate 1....
 
 the academy is to busy sucking Russel Crowes dick to give any decent consideration to any other movie.  Crowe would win best actor playing a retard chick on crack in "dude weres my house?" or at least get the nomination.

 that being said, Sweet Sixteen is the best film of the year, in my opinion.  Shame it didn't get a single nod...

Is that the Scottish one directed by Ken Loach you're talking about? It was good but hardly movie of the year.
 
 Surprised doodles could understand it without subtitles actually.
 
 If, in fact, you are talking about the same movie.
