Peaches Does Herself Review

The Plot

Electro diva Peaches displays her unique musical talents in the form of a bizarre rock opera, with help from guests including The Naked Cowgirl.

The Good

There’s no doubt that Peaches performance will be unlike anything you’ve seen before. As she takes us through a crazy storyline spliced with even crazier set pieces. Luckily though, the accompanying music is catchy enough to keep you entertained throughout.

If you’ve never had the pleasure of listening to Peaches’ music then this is as good a place to start as any. All the hits from her career thus far are showcased here with weird and wacky visuals to have you laughing out loud at some points at the sheer absurdity of it all.

With a brisk 80 minute runtime, Peaches Does Herself doesn’t give audiences much time to ponder what they’re witnessing. The film doesn’t concern itself with profound themes, instead it seems to entirely preoccupied with having lurid naughty fun. Though the film occasionally flirts with being slightly autobiographical, it has more in common with the  feverish fantasy of a wild wet dream than any meaningful reality.

The Bad

Occasionally Peaches turns to a guest to help fill some of the runtime up. The main support comes from The Naked Cowgirl, an elderly lady who screams profanity whilst wondering around in a bikini and cowboy hat. Although thankfully she doesn’t appear as much as she could have, The Naked Cowgirl’s appearance turns the whole affair from unintentionally funny and ridiculous to just plain odd and at times, disgusting.

Peaches unrelenting fixation on genitalia and her trademark brand of electronic musical sleaze certainly won’t appeal to all tastes. Not everyone wants to see an OAP light matches with her nipples in the middle of a nude transgender  ballet. For those uninitiated in the strange ‘teaches of Peaches’ it may be an unwelcome shock.

The Ugly Truth

It’s hard to compare this to anything else you’ll have seen but the closest you can get is that it could be the outcome of The Mighty Boosh crossed with The Rocky Horror Picture Show and dipped in acid just to make things that much more crazier. Yet still there’s something oddly captivating about it.

At no point in your life will you particularly need this film. However if you somehow come across it you won’t be too disappointed. In fact there’s a possibility you’ll be slightly pleased.

L.A. Confidential Getting A TV Series

Oscar winning crime drama L.A. Confidential may be returning to small screens for a  new TV series,  16 years after the successful 1997 movie adaptation based on the sprawling bestseller by acclaimed crime novelist James Ellroy.

Ellroy and New Regency reportedly have a script already prepared that would continues to delve into the murky world of the the LAPD in the golden era of Hollywood. The script already has the eager attention of a number of broadcast and cable outlets leading to expectations that the new series could be ruched into production without the need for a tentative pilot episode.

It’s not expected that original cast members Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce or Kim Basinger would reprise their roles, but it remains to be seen whether any of the familiar characters will be included in the new show and how closely connected it would be with the original novel.

The Bling Ring Trailer

Check out the first full trailer for The Bling Ring. Directed by Sofia Coppola the film is based on the real life story of a group of Hollywood Hills kids who went on a crime spree and burglarized the homes of celebrities like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox.

The film stars Emma Watson as the  leader of the gang of spoiled, fame obsessed and awfully  irritating teens. Feel free to steal yourself a quick look at what to expect below:

Ben Stiller Plans Dodgeball Sequel

Ben Stiller and his production company Red Hour Films are officially set to make a belated sequel to surprise comedy hit Dodgeball, nearly ten years after the original hauled in over $167 million.

Stiller is set to reprise his role as mustached gym freak White Goodman, while Vince Vaughan will return as his affable rival Pete LaFleur. Screenwriter Clay Travers is currently tasked with producing a script that will see the former fitness frenemies teaming up to tackle a new threat.

Details of a possible release date and whether other familiar faces from the first film will also be returning haven’t been disclosed yet. However it’s probably a safe bet that the new plot will largely be based around your perceived eagerness to see people repeatedly hit in the face and/or crotch by hard objects thrown at ill-advised speed.
