Seed of Chucky

To continue the Redman theme, Seed of Chucky finally made it to the MVP section of Hollywood vid-jo.

I am not so much a horror/slasher movie fan anymore. I used to be totally into the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise; those were pretty scary. But the Chucky series were always not super scary, but had something that made them more funny than anything (but not funny in a leprechaun "this is so bad it's funny" funny).

Chucky's fan base, for the most part, is owed to characher acting master Brad Dourif; that guy who has been playing the role of the weirdo in everything from One Flew Over the cuckoo's Nest to Blue Velvet to Lord of the Rings. Basically, he's awesome. What makes him awesome in the Chucky movies are the lines that he delivers with such incongruous sketchiness to the innocence of the original (pre-scarfaced) Chucky doll. The big bonus to the Seed edition of the Chucky series is the presence of Red and Jen. Redman plays himself; which is awesome. Jennifer Tilly plays herself in a kind of meta-reality that is really fascinating in a very serious way.

Chucky has always been embraced by the hip hop community. Remember back in the dizzy when Bushwick Bill became Chucky? He actually stared to be known---and maybe even dressing like---Chucky.

For the above reasons I must recommend the series and Seed in particular. It is not the perfect movie, but it is pretty good. Overall rating: 670,000/1,000,000.
