Kunal Asarsa on Storks

9/23/2016

0 Comments

 
​According to European folklore, the stork is responsible for bringing babies to new parents. The legend is very ancient, but was popularised by a 19th-century Hans Christian Andersen story called The Storks. German folklore held that storks found babies in caves or marshes and brought them to households in a basket on their backs or held in their beaks. The babies would then be given to the mother or dropped down the chimney. Households would notify when they wanted children by placing sweets for the stork on the window sill. From there the folklore has spread around the world.

Now isn't that a wonderful story. However, this isn’t what the storks do anymore. Or at least that is how the story of Storks starts. The storks have now moved on to the business of delivering packages (beware Amazon!) and they have a star employee, Junior (voiced by Andy Samberg). But things take a turn as one lonely kid’s wish leads to an unexpected delivery request : A baby. To maintain his reputation and smooth functioning of the business, Junior must deliver the child without anyone knowing.

​If I were to use one word to describe this movie and the audience's reaction to it, it would be “Awwww...” Yes, this movie is about (literally) delivering a baby and is overflowing with cuteness. It can definitely stand against those puppy videos that you love watching on YouTube and never get tired of. But I’m sure you wouldn’t want to pay hard-earned money to travel to a theatre and watch cute babies. Well, let me tell you that this movie is about a lot more. In fact, I was surprised to see how the movie squeezes family issues, abandonment, family bonding, emotional attachment and more into a fun-packed delivery mission. The movie is written and directed by Nicholas Stoller (Neighbors, Forgetting Sarah Marshall), who is known for work on comedies. Storks is his debut into the world on animation and surprisingly he nailed it.

Once in a while comes a movie that surpasses your imagination. A movie that delivers something that is unexpected by the audience, in a pleasing way. In a year full of sequels, Storks proves that it is originality and imaginativeness that make for a great movie going experience. It will melt your heart, make you laugh and remind you why you love your family. So don’t miss this animated adventure and spend some quality time with family at your nearest theatre.

Kunal Asarsa on Sully

9/9/2016

0 Comments

 
​Seven years ago, on January 15 2009, a US Airways plane that had just lift off from LaGuardia airport faced multiple bird strikes and was forced to make a water landing on the Hudson river. If you remember this event, you probably remember the captain on the flight who was hailed as a national hero ... Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger. Sully is the story of the events that revolved around this historic water landing.
Picture
​To clear the air, Sully is not a documentary about the water landing. Nor is this a biographical story about Captain Sully. This movie is an attempt to show the journey of Captain Sully through the landing, his trial by the safety board and the fame and attention that followed the landing. With Sully, director Clint Eastwood (Million Dollar Baby) tries to bring out the story through the eyes of Captain Sully himself and take us on a backdoor tour of what transpired in his head.

As a very embryonic decision, I told myself that I liked the movie. Tom Hanks, who plays the titular role, is as true to the character as one can be. Being a big fan of Hanks, I can hardly say otherwise. But with some research I set out to dig a little deeper with public appearances of real Sully; it wouldn’t be wrong to say that they were very much alike. Moving on, the other actor to get most screen time is Aaron Eckhart (Harvey Dent from The Dark Knight), who convincingly plays co-pilot Jeff Skiles, supporting captain Sully not only through the landing but also through the perils that follow. Surprisingly these two aren’t the only familiar names. You have Laura Linney (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) playing Sully's wife and Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad) as well. But it's really difficult to justify their presence on screen. The only other cast member that seemed noticeable was Mike O’Malley as one of the Safety Board members, as a sort-of antagonist, trying to grill Sully into accepting the water landing as a mistake.

With an interesting story and decent performances, you’d think this would be a winner. Well of course there is more to it. I try to recollect what made the movie memorable and all I can think of is a complete shot of the events taking place on the flight and the final hearing of Captain Sully. It is then that I realize that the non-sequential depiction of events, jumping between landing and post-landing events, is something that didn’t really work for the movie. It felt as if every time you managed to get engrossed into the movie, it would change course. And that is how I wound up losing interest every few minutes. What should have been a brisk 90 min movie felt like it ran forever. And not only because of the format, but also because the scenes were played repeatedly with slight or no difference each time.

Overall, Sully feels like a decent movie to kill time. I would not be upset if I spent an hour and half watching it. But it is definitely not something I’m going to take home with me, once I leave the theatre.

Grade: B

P.S. My opinion may or may not have been influenced by a glitch at the screening that made me go through the first 10 minutes of the movie twice.

Kunal Asarsa on Don't Breathe

8/26/2016

0 Comments

 
​So, a few days back I received an invitation to a press screening and I read the subject: Don’t Breathe. Before I can open the email and look into the details about the movie, my mind is already imagining… a movie where no one breathes for the complete runtime (Yeah right!) Or maybe a story about an apocalyptic gas leak (really!) Or maybe it’s just something you tell Darth Vader when playing hide and seek.

I know you secretly laughed on that last one. But jokes apart, I open the mail and find out that I was way off track with my guesses. Don’t Breathe is the story of a trio of thieves who plan to rob a blind old rich guy, thinking this robbery will be their ticket to escape from their current lives; only to discover the blind guy is a veteran with heightened senses, who kicks ass!
Picture
​Don’t Breathe is an amazing concept that blends the ‘blind guy situation’ into a ‘trapped in the house’ horror scenario. It is a refreshingly fun thriller, that brings something new to the table. It manages to label itself as horror without using gimmicky scare tactics; and yes- there are no ghosts. It is surprising how the creators of the movie turn a disabled guy into something that can bring chills to your spine.

Some of you are already wondering what’s with the frivolous start of this article, but I’m only trying to reflect upon my experience. Although the movie proves to be fun and captivating, there is a common mistake that one can make (like I did), to reason. A hundred questions pop in my head as I try to reason the events taking place. And slowly my mind becomes a pendulum swinging from ‘whoa! Awesome!’ to ‘no way that just happened!’ and back. The movie easily slips from being scary to unexpectedly stupid. For the sake of comparison, The Blind Man, played by Stephen Lang (Avatar), is almost as skilled as Marvel’s Daredevil (Slight Exaggeration).

But hold on! This is not the verdict. The movie surprisingly has more in store. Don’t Breathe holds a twist that is guaranteed to throw you off your seat. To avoid spoilers, I won’t talk much about it, but all I can say is that it changes the course of the movie and is something that you are truly not expecting. It is also a point where the movie’s tone changes to weird and gross.

Yes, I agree, that I all I have done is to create mystery around the movie. And I stand with the decision to do so. Please avoid watching the trailers (if you haven’t already) and watch this movie knowing that you are going to experience something different and new. And if you are able to resist the urge to question everything you see, you will walk out of the movie feeling content.

Kunal Asarsa on The Shallows

6/24/2016

With the recent solstice, it is officially the start of summer; we’ve had good sunny days and it is the perfect time to hit the beach in your favorite swim trunk/bikini. Aaahh… floating in the water, with the sun on your skin and 13 foot shark trying to bite your leg off … bliss. Wait what! Sorry that was just a dream I had last night. But I’m sure it is something you will be thinking about after catching The Shallows. 

So let’s get started with the what we know from the trailer… The Shallows is about a surfer in a tiny bikini encountering a great white shark near a deserted shore. It's a “shark movie”.  Wrong! I know people are still going to label it as that, but let me try to give you guys a better perspective. This is a movie about a girl who visits a secluded beach, in memory of her mother and ends up surfing in the feeding zone of a great white shark. After her first encounter with the shark, she is left stranded on a small rock off the shore with a shark bite on her leg. With the shark circling around ready to strike, all she has now is her wits, resourcefulness and willpower to find her way back to shore alive.
Picture
First of all, I love the title. After thinking about it (I really didn't want to drop a judgement on this movie right after I came out of the theatre), I realized that this movie is truly about survival in the shallow waters. It isn’t about being stranded on an island without food and satellite phone. It isn’t about battling a shark in middle of an ocean. It isn’t about sharks raining from the sky. But it is about a situation that could happen with anyone who has been into salt waters. It is the story of survival against odds.

Then again, this is no Cast Away or 127 Hours. The movie credits only two actors: Blake Lively (Gossip Girl, Age of Adaline) as the central character and the guy who drives her to the beach. A sizeable amount of screen time is shared by one other entity, the vengeful/hungry great white shark. If you can get past the fact that the movie literally throws Blake Lively in a skimpy bikini at you (which might be enough for some people to watch it), you will see that she has actually given a decent performance. She is on the screen for almost all of the runtime, with very little dialogue. But you can at times feel the fear, struggle and hopelessness of being in the situation. The rest of the time, you are looking at cheaply-done CGI (I’m guessing Blake isn’t a pro-surfer), lots of waves and sometimes a fake looking shark.

Disregarding the the bad CGI and a few shark antics, the director actually manages to make the story gripping and fun. There are actually great surprise shots of the shark where you only see its shadow as it passes; but when something as giant as a great white covers more than 50% of your screen, that sure sends down some chills. I know I sound conflicted, but so does the tone of this movie. The varied handling of scenes indicates a creative difference or interference, and leaves you begging for a possibly better version of the movie.

Is it the greatest survival movie to come out in past few years? Maybe not. When you have a shark in a movie and producers demanding stuff from all over the artistic spectrum, what you end up with is a few over-the-top, hard-to-believe scenes. Sometimes more than a few. And I understand how that alone would be a reason for some people to call it a lost cause. Nonetheless, this is no Sharknado. The movie has a solid core along with some thrills and scares and if you can ignore the flaws that come along with it, I’m sure you will enjoy the movie.

Grade: B

P.S. And in other news… Shark returns to cape cod. Happy beach days :)

Kunal Asarsa on The Jungle Book

4/15/2016

Picture
I’ve been a fan of The Jungle Book ever since I saw an animated Mowgli on the TV screen, running around the jungle with this menagerie of animals that he calls friends and family. Later I came across the source material, Rudyard Kipling’s novel. A masterpiece by all means. Well here’s a thing, every time movie makers pick up a story that is so widely followed and loved, they risk the chance of ruining it or not living up to the harsh expectation of fans. Let me ease your nerves by saying that this movie takes the chance and unlike many (that failed), it emerges victorious (or so I believe it shall).

For those who are not well versed with the story, let me bring you up to speed. Mowgli is a human child who was found and raised by a pack of wolves. He grows up learning the ways of the jungle along with Bagheera, a black panther. But as the forest learns about his presence, danger arises in form of Shere Khan, a tiger who has seen the brunt of man and now wants revenge.

I still wonder how such a elementary story can make for an experience so lasting, that I’m still in awe of it. The Jungle Book for all parts but Mowgli is CGI. But the special effects, sound design, and voice acting is all so immaculate that you sit there and stare at computer generated imagery for two hours and never doubt it being real, not for a second. The jungle makes you want to leave the comfort of your seat. The animals seem larger than life (sometimes literally), like the majestic elephants, the stealthy wild cats, the united wolf pack. It is no doubt that the movie makes for one of the best adaptations of the book, since it is not just the story but the characters coming alive.

Of course, you are thinking that this is just another visual spectacular. Enter the star-studded cast. With the big budgets and bigger banners (Disney), the association of big names has become  inevitable. But rarely do you see a cast that seems almost tailor-made. May it be Sir Ben Kingsley as strict Bagheera or Idris Elba as the ruthless and fierce Shere Khan or Lupita Nyong’o as caring and protective mother Raksha, the actors fit their characters like a glove. And not to forget the star of the show, Neel Sethi, who is adorable, smart, funny and everything you’d imagine Mowgli to be. It it this powerhouse of a cast that brings characters to life and makes you feel immersed throughout your movie experience.

No matter how much i pick each aspect of the movie and explain how it has been done perfectly, I cannot miss the ringmaster: one of the most underrated directors, Jon Favreau. Favreau is the brain behind many movies like Iron Man and Chef (both personal favorites). It is a lesser known fact that he is one of people responsible for jumpstarting the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His work on The Jungle Book not only stands at par with his previous hits but even exceeds them at some levels. My vote is with the guy who can make me watch ‘animated animals talking and a jungle-raised human child’ without disbelief. Go Favreau!

I could keep going on about how [I think] the movie is perfect, but something tells me you are already convinced. So go grab your tickets and some popcorn and get set to run with the pack.

Grade: A

P.S. The 3D doesn’t make it dark at all. Definitely recommended.

Kunal Asarsa on Midnight Special

4/1/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
So here I am, reviewing a movie that you’ve probably not heard of before and trying my best to be the poster boy of Indie sci-fi films; well, technically it’s only my second review for a indie sci-fi (you might have stumbled across The Signal).

Midnight Special is the story of a father who goes all out to protect his son, who has supernatural abilities. Alton (Jaeden Lieberher) is a young kid with abilities that are beyond human comprehension. As Alton starts to grow up, his powers grow; leading to people knowing about his existence. With multiple entities like government and religious bodies now interested in Alton, his father Roy (Michael Shannon) has no choice but hit the road and go off radar to keep his son safe.

Midnight Special somewhat defies the true definition of an indie sci-fi (considering large budget and the star cast), but in its essence it is definitely an indie sci-fi. The story is elementally sci-fi due the protagonist’s powers, but as you look deeper into the story, you discover that it is all about the relationship between a father and a son. The powers only push the scale, showing the extremities a father will go through, fighting against the whole nation. Yet at the same time feeling helpless as he knows close to nothing about his son’s powers or their effect. As you glimpse at the special effects in the movie, you will notice that the graphics are visually stunning rather than being blankly explosive. The movie aptly fits the rendition of an intelligent sci-fi. It is no doubt that the director, Jeff Nichols, hits a sweet spot with a movie that is visually expressive as it is thoughtfully deep. Nichols might be a fresh name for some, but his past work (Mud, Shotgun Stories, Take Shelter) have all been critically acclaimed.

If you’ve been a follower of Nichols, it is no doubt that Michael Shannon (General Zod from Man of Steel) is his favorite actor and with this feature the duo once again prove that they can work magic together. Shannon gives an utterly convincing performance of a father who would do anything for his son’s safety, yet never forgetting the bond and trust between a father and a son. Jaeden Lieberher is a pleasant surprise. I can almost see Lieberher walk the carpets akin to Jacob Tremblay (Room). Joining the lead are Kirsten Dunst (I swear I couldn’t remember the last time I saw her on screen) as Alton’s mother and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren from Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as a NSA agent and Joel Edgerton (Warrior, Black Mass) as Roy’s friend. Now that I look back at the story, each one of these characters is written to in some way complement the father-son relationship that is at the core of the movie.

So if you have been disappointed by movies that presume your IQ to be lower than the percentage of CGI in them, it’s time you gave the underdogs a chance. Midnight Special is a movie that will provide an experience that rather than defying logic, makes you wonder about human nature, relationships and the unknown.

Kunal Asarsa on Kung Fu Panda 3

1/29/2016

0 Comments

 
The 5 year ‘weight' is over: DreamWorks Animations has answered the prayers of its faithful fans who have been waiting for the third installment in the Kung Fu Panda franchise and yes, it is full of awesomeness! 
Picture
Directors Alessandro Carloni and Jennifer Yuh bring to you the new chapter in the life of Po, a Giant Panda who is now the most powerful kung fu warrior in China. This franchise has always been about finding oneself to overcome threats that seem impossible to defeat. Be it Tai Long in the first installment, or Lord Shen in the second; Po has always faced dangers that are larger than life. With the third installment they take the term literally and bring back a villian to life, Kai, who is Oogway’s friend turned foe. Back from the spirit realm, Kai has the power and purpose to capture the soul of every kung fu master in China and reign as the most powerful warrior ever. While on the other side surprises unravel as Po meets his real father, who invites him to a secret village of pandas. Po must now discover the real panda in him, as he meets his kind for the first time and prepare for the battle with Kai at the same time.

Kung Fu Panda has always been on the top of my favorite movies. DreamWorks did a pretty good job with the sequel, but it lacked the element of novelty- It’s always hard to trump the ace. So I never had high expectations for this movie. But this pretty much describes my reaction (P.S. I didn’t pee). If you didn’t feel like clicking that link, let me describe it as … I was blown away! Kung Fu Panda 3 reminds me why I fell in love with the franchise. Everything about the movie is great. I’ll start with the story (as this is what sinks most movies)- Kung Fu Panda 3 is really well written, especially with its story being spun around two antagonists. Kai, played by J.K. Simmons, is a surreal villain true to the definition, while Li (Po’s father), played by Bryan Cranston, walks shades of grey as he tries to win back his lost son. Just like the first part, Po fights a battle, not only with an enemy, but also within him, as he must discover and untap his true potential. Also, there’s more focus on these three characters and their interactions hold the story tightly (there are hardly moments that feel like filler). But the movie doesn’t border seriousness with this like its predecessor; it is high on humour and does not fail to give you a few spurts of laughter. 
Picture
I had a chance to see the regular format (and not 3D), so it would be unfair to compare them. But going with a general consensus, that 3D makes it a little darker, I would say I loved the animation in the standard format. The credit goes to Jennifer Yuh, who has not only directed the second and third part, but has also been a part of Dreamworks’ animation department since the the first movie. The colors, technique, direction is all beautiful. It definitely qualifies as movie with best use of split screens (like Scott Pilgrim). The best part is, the animation techniques change and adapt as the story goes through different phases, especially during the action scenes. This brings me to the action, which is always in abundance when it comes to the franchise. Like its prequels, the action scenes are directed brilliantly. Kung Fu Panda 3 is like ‘pizza for your eyes’, i.e. there’s hardly anything else that would make them happier.

With the visuals covered, the only part that remains is the audio. Hans Zimmer continues to create music for the third part, and it is great. There are new tracks and collaboration with artists (you can hear “Wild Ones” by Flo Rida in the trailer). Also the hit song from the first part, “Kung Fu Fighting” (revived by Ceelo Green) is re-revived by a new band, Vamps; which hopefully will continues to be a fan favorite. When it comes to the voice cast, Kung Fu Panda 3 not only manages to bring back all of its old cast but add two Oscar nominees to its list, J.K.. Simmons and Bryan Cranston, both in pivotal roles. Their performances bring fresh voices to the screen while Jack Black once again amazes us with his performance. Also, just cause I got to attend a simulcast of the LA premiere, I’m going to throw in a tidbit: Jack Black and Angelina Jolie got a chance to work with their kids who voice small bunnies and pandas in the movie.

I know that was a long review (and some of you simply jumped to this paragraph for the final word), so here’s the verdict: Kung Fu Panda 3 is an amazing movie that brings back the feelings you had when you watched the first part. It is breathtakingly animated and wonderfully written/directed. So, unless there is a snow storm out there stopping you from going to the theatre, put on those panda ears, pick some popcorn and get ready for the “awesomeness”.

Kunal Asarsa on Secret in Their Eyes

11/20/2015

1 Comment

 
Picture
In 2009, Argentine Director Juan Jose Campanella adapted the novel The Question in Their Eyes into a movie by the name The Secret in Their Eyes. Later in 2010, the movie won the Oscar for the “Best Foreign Language Film”. Five years later, Hollywood wants to bring the same story to a wider audience with its remake Secret in Their Eyes and here’s a take on what it has in store for us…

Secret in Their Eyes is a parallel narrative of three people from an anti-terrorism organization. The movie has two timelines set 13 years apart, which both revolve around a murder and pursuit of the killer. Jess (Julia Roberts) and Ray (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are called to look into a murder nearby a mosque that they have been surveilling, only to discover that the victim is Jess’ teenage daughter. With the case being closely knit to the suspects being monitored, the DA (Alfred Molina) tries to shelve the case in order to prevent sabotaging operations at the mosque. But Ray, who holds himself partly responsible for not being able to protect Jess’ daughter, takes it upon himself to find the killer. With personal agendas, relationships and politics at play, the case only keeps getting buried deeper. Thirteen years after the death, Ray finds evidence and returns to reopen the case and find closure for Jess and himself.

With the movie being a mystery/thriller, it's hard to say that the previous paragraph aptly describes the story. Without giving out spoilers, all I can say is that it does have an unpredictable end. But what makes a mystery good is if the end is worth waiting for. Unfortunately, the 100 minutes you spend waiting to know what happens to the killer, feels just like the 13 years it took Ray to find him.

The A-list cast seems unnecessarily squeezed in. I literally tried to re-imagine the complete story sans Nicole Kidman, and except for one scene where she confronts the killer (which is great), the complete story stays unchanged. Julia Roberts doesn’t disappoint, but then again, she hardly has any screen presence (as the mother of the victim she isn’t allowed to be involved in the investigation). Chiwetel Ejiofor, who almost won the Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, is quite certainly not going to get it with his 13 year wait in Secret in Their Eyes.

A bigger disappointment for me was when I realized that the director of this movie, Billy Ray is the same guy who wrote Captain Phillips. The movie certainly raises a question on his directorial skills, evident from the badly executed parallel narrative. With the locations, scenario and people being the same in each narrative, the color of hair or absence of it are the only things that help determine what timeline’s currently occurring. I would probably also blame the editor Jim Page. As if the switching in between the timelines wasn’t painful enough, the scenes tend to get long, slow and boring. This is a movie that would definitely have benefited from some heavy chopping.

Secret in Their Eyes seems like an attempt to turn a good story into a shabby star studded vehicle that sadly underperforms. I look forward to seeing the original version; hopefully I can find a copy at the library. I advise you do the same.

Kunal Asarsa on Love the Coopers

11/13/2015

Thanksgiving is knocking on our doors and the big day is barely a month away. If you do not go into hibernation each year during this time, you would know that it’s the christmas season and christmas movies are gonna rain on us soon. Opening this Christmas season is the Love the Coopers and here’s what to expect from it…
Picture
Love the Coopers is a narration of events that unfold as a four generations-large family comes together to celebrate Christmas eve. Yes, you read that right- four generations; that is a lot of people (more than you see in the picture above). And the movie tries to focus on each person, their story and their relationship issues in 100 minutes. Seems like a short time to fit in all that drama. Surprise surprise, the movie somehow manages to stretch the threads of time to fit in all of that and leave space for more. The movie makes you feel like you have been with the family forever (believe me, I thought I was in there for 3 hours) and it's not in a magical way. But it is a feel good movie with a hint of comedy. Only it would be unjust to call it a comedy, because between every giggle they get out of you, they will make you wait for an eternity.

Moving at the speed of a snail might be the biggest reason for the downfall of this movie. But hey, it’s a Christmas movie and that gives it a fighting chance if a few of those characters hit the right cord with the audience. With the bouquet of stories it has to offer, I’m sure that you will relate to at least one of them, no matter how old you are. The big question being, are you ready to slug through the rest of them too?

Coming to the performances, it is almost impossible to cover the complete cast. But as a highlight, Alan Arkin (Argo) and John Goodman (Monsters, Inc.) surely make their performances lovable and believable if not Oscar-worthy. But what makes a Christmas movie kindle the holiday feeling is the narration. Steve Martin nails the role with his charismatic voice (you should watch this clip to believe his versatility).

To sum it up, Love the Coopers is akin to an archer pulling a bunch of polished arrows out of his quiver and firing them all at once, hoping at least one hits the target. Only I’m not sure that works for a movie. But like I said, it’s hard to hate a Christmas movie.

Kunal Asarsa on Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead

10/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Aahh ... National Lampoon. Humorous. Rambunctious. Heroes. Maniacs. There are maybe 100 words to define it. But if you wanna go beyond those few words that describe them and into the story of one of the most successful humour magazine and it's cultural impact, you've got to see Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead.
Picture
​DSBD documents the rise, reign and fall of a social revolution called National Lampoon. So what is this National Lampoon? The right question is not what, but who. Born in the 70’s (unlike most of our readers) National Lampoon is the brainchild of Doug Kenney and Henry Beard, both Harvard students. Brought together by their love of humour, these two students came up with a magazine (limited distribution) named Harvard Lampoon. Jokes, sex, social events, nudity -- the lampoon had it all to fuel its flight. It spread wide, famous amongst students and slowly to outsiders. In no time it was a national magazine. By then the team had grown quite larger than just two Harvard geniuses. Slowly they started a radio show, standup acts and eventually movies (pretty much the only surviving presence of the legacy).

What makes DSBD interesting is the way it allows the younger generation to relive an era that gave birth to several mediums/genres of comedy as we know them today as well as provide a chance to reminiscent for those who experienced the movement in person. It consists of appearances by actors (Kevin Bacon, Chevy Chase), writers, illustrators, comics, and all who helped shape National Lampoon. With unseen footage, notes and interviews this documentary creates a complete experience that every National Lampoon fan would cherish. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Douglas Triola (writer, director) has done his homework.

So if you are a fan of National Lampoon or just want to experience their journey, Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead is one documentary you don't wanna miss. Oh and as a fair warning, this movie is not for kids and please watch it without the company of anyone who's related to you, to avoid being embarrassed. Moments of gratuitous graphic nudity guaranteed.
