Just watched the unrated version of Beerfest on DVD and was mildly disappointed. This film had many many wonderful things going for it: beer, boobs, polka music, a secret beer recipe, a grandmother whore, lederhosen, more boobs, and more beer. But I can’t blame the film for my disappointment. It’s my fault, for being beerless. So this is your warning, don’t watch this one by yourself without beer. Ideally, you should have a lot of beer and a group of friends where impromptu games of quarters can break out during the films slower moments. It’s almost 2hours long, but it is still destined to be a classic in Frat houses for years to come.

The other film I saw this week that I hadn’t seen before was Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. I wasn’t expecting much, but I am now declaring it one of the best sports films ever. The dodgeball tournament games bring you right back to your 5th grade PE classes, I swear I could feel the welts from that red ball now 20 years later. This film also made me ponder an age-old question: Can a hit to the head ever be as funny as a hit to to the groin? This film had plenty of both. Normally, getting hit in the nuts is funnier 90% of the time (See example). But when a dodgeball or wrench is involved, a good headshot beats out a tagging to the testicles.
