She thought she was in love with her fiancé and roommate, Danny (Brad Row), but now isn't sure, so she moves in with Vicki (Jennifer Blanc) to sort things out. To complicate matters, Jules's co-star, Ben (Brian Austin Green), won't leave her alone.

The creators of this film should have realised that a fish ON a bike is much funnier

The five little Peppers (Polly, Phronsie, Joey, Davie and Ben), are guests of financier John King and his grandson Jasper. Mr. King suffers a heart attack and, at the same time severe financial losses. Experts have failed to locate the rich copper mine in which Polly's late father believed to be on the property, somewhere, now jointly-owned by Polly and Mr. King. The bank is pressing Mr. King for payment on a loan, and he must sell his beautiful home. Polly and Mrs. Pepper insist that Mr. King and Jasper return with them to the modest Pepper cottage. Martin, the King's loyal butler, refuses to be discharged and joins the family. Mrs. Pepper obtains her old job at the factory and Polly, the eldest Pepper child, becomes mistress of the Pepper household. Jasper, hoping to win financial aid for his father, goes to live with his rich Aunt Martha. MArtin tells Polly that he once studied geology, sees the late Mr. Pepper's mineral samples and maps and is equally convinced that a rich copper mine exists on the deserted property

Genre: Comedy

Directors:

Nicholas Ellenbogen, Koos Roets

Stars:

Brendan Grealy and Ellis Pearson

Imdb rating:

8.0/10

Plot and Review:

A gentle, hilarious South African gem that deserves more attention. On the brink of the country's transformation (from an Apartheid dictatorship to a democracy), South Africa's economy hangs in the balance. An overseas conglomerate wishes to invest a great deal of cash in the country, but the executives demand evidence of the country's willingness to integrate its racially diverse population and move forward. A tiny backwater village is selected at random and the local post office's staff commanded to produce a play - with multiracial cast and crew - in time for the foreigners' visit. Only one single, solitary play script is to be found in the local library... Can the townsfolk of the mythical Karoo village resolve their differences and present a workable production of The Nativity in time to save their country? Starring the inimitable Ellis Pearson and Greg Melville-Smith and written by Theatre For Africa's Nicholas Ellenbogen, this film is a rare treat – see it if you can get your sticky paws on a copy.

Unfortunately i cannot find the best line... We can only dream what it would be :(



Geek Maggot Bingo or The Freak from Suckweasel Mountain

Huzzah! This is the first entry in the Barnacle Basement so I thought it should be a goodie. With that in mind I present to you, the fittingly ridiculously titled -

'Geek Maggot Bingo or The Freak from Suckweasel Mountain'

Director: Nick Zedd

Genre: Comedy/Horror

Released: 1983

IMDB Rating: 3.6/10

This DVD, from independent filmmaker Nick Zedd, features an unrelenting dose of exploitation from the master of "Cinema of Transgression!" In this film, shot entirely on hand-painted sets, mad scientist Dr. Frankenberry (Robert Andrews) and his manservant Gecko (Bruno Zeus) concoct the two-headed Formaldehyde Man as a vampire mob led by the skanky Scumbelina (Donna Death) lurks beneath their castle.

Best Line

Dr. Frankenberry: From these raw materials shall emerge the first great specimen of genius: A Homo Superior! 

Geeko: A homo!
