Welcome to the Great White North, eh?
In 1983,
Bob and Doug McKenzie (Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas — but not the Dave Thomas from
Wendy’s) introduced the world to the mysterious land of Canada — a place overflowing
with beer and donuts. A place where everyone wears flannel and toques while they’re
playing hockey. A place where they use words like hoser and
eh.
When Bob and Doug try to scam the Elsinore brewery out of a
free case of beer, they end up with jobs instead. There, they get stumble upon
Brewmeister Smith (Max von Sydow), who’s planning to take over the beer-drinking world
with his mind-altering chemicals.
At the beginning of Strange Brew,
the brothers announce that their movie was filmed in 3-B — “Three beers and it looks
good.” I’d say that’s pretty accurate. Strange Brew is a fabulously brainless
movie — full of bad jokes, bad acting, and bad effects. It’s a must-see for any college
student — preferably after a long night of drinking. But if you’re sober, be warned
that it takes a special sense of humor to enjoy this one. Those with that
special sense of humor, however (you know who you are), will love this
one.
Kristin Dreyer Kramer has been writing in some form or another (usually when she was supposed to be doing something else) since the ripe old age of ten—when she, her cousin, and their two Cabbage Patch Dolls formed the Poo Authors’ Club. After a short career in advertising, Kristin got sick of always saying nice things about stuff that didn’t deserve it—so now she spends her days criticizing things, and she’s much happier for it.
Since creating NightsAndWeekends.com in February of 2002, Kristin has spent her life surrounded by piles and piles of books and movies—so many that her office has become a kind of entertainment obstacle course.
As if her writing and editing responsibilities for N&W.com weren’t enough to keep her out of trouble, Kristin also hosts a number of weekly radio shows: Reel Discovery, Shelf Discovery, and On the Marquee. She’s also a proud member of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (CriticsChoice.com), the Central Ohio Film Critics Association (COFCA.org), the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS.org), and the Women Film Critics Circle (WFCC.Wordpress.com).
Kristin lives in Columbus, Ohio, with her husband, Paul, and their daughter, Anna. She welcomes questions, comments, and fan mail at kdk@nightsandweekends.com.
