The Adventures of Sass Parilla the Singing Gorilla (2005)
A great movie as long as you don't take it too seriously
This is a very fun movie to watch. It is very low budget, cheesy, some of the characters are hammy, but the film is well done and awesome because it accepts and revels in all of that. The external miniature sets are just as cool because one can see that they're unashamedly made from foam-board insulation and paper towel tubes. The internal sets are amazing, especially the yeti cave/Black Widow's lair. The dialogue is very amusing, with many quotable lines which I shall try posting later. This film also has more gore and violence than one might think at first. In every episode there is some sort of dismemberment or other gory end to something. The makeup and aforementioned fx really stand out, especially the obligatory horde of zombies. One of my favorite parts is the music, especially the funk in episode 4, the opening theme, and Sass' other original songs. In conclusion, this is a great movie to watch with friends or when one needs a good laugh. At 15 minutes per episode it is very convenient for viewing at one's leisure.
