Daily-ist: Monday

::Free Movie Night at Domy Books::

TV as it was meant to be seen; in a movie theatre.

At the height of his popularity, it seemed like a good idea for “Weird” Al Yankovic to release a movie parody in the vein of his music video parodies. Unfortunately it wasn’t. As time would tell and video would prove it was nowhere near as bad as critics said it was and “UHF” is actually a fun, and funny movie. While it doesn’t really “stick it” to television, the basic story of loser turned winner serves as a great bed for “Weird” Al’s brand of humor and great television/movie parodies. Featuring Victoria Jackson, Michael Richards, and a host of others, UHF is one of the best movies featuring a musician. It easily bests “Spice World” and “Cool As Ice”.
