The Corsican Brothers Blu Ray Review!

Image
From bongs to bon mots, Cheech and Chong proudly place their names alongside such luminaries as the Brothers Karamazov and the Marx Brothers portraying the Brother Corsican in this comic adventure inspired by the classic Alexandre Dumas novella.  As the story unfolds, two down on their luck rock musicians wandering the streets of France after a horrendous performance, which the locals paid to have them stop playing. They happen upon a gypsy story teller. The gypsy regales them with stoires of the noble Corsican Brothers who plot to take down the evil nobleman Fuckaire. Filled with action and comedy this is a must have for any fan of Cheech and Chong. I have quoted this movie for over 20 years now with my favorite line being when they hit Fuckaire with a bag of feces. "I've been hit, with shit!" This blu ray is a very nice addition to anyones collection. Nice a clear picture and great sound.  Directed by: Thomas Chong Produced by: Peter Macgregor-Scott Written by: Cheech M...

Wh he offers to settle an old debt with a grizzled bartender by telling him a story, the night's event's quickly spin into a dark tale of mistaken identities, double-crosses and shocking violence. This was a good story driven thriller. RJ Mitte (Breaking Bad) does a fantastic job playing the drifter returning home. Peter Outerbridge plays the bartender and makes it feel like a real bar with his performance. If you like story driven thrillers you will enjoy The Oak Room.  The Oak Room is a MOD (Made on Demand) or BOD (Burned on Demand).
