DVD Review: Some Crazy JuJu
Summary: 5 Stars

They must have put some crazy JuJu into the recording of this movie because I can't stop watching it. I'm not even a fan of the D but I watched this on cable one night, now I can't stop watching Master Exploder (one of the songs) and the "Final Showdown." Sometimes if I'm having a lame day at work I'll watch Master Exploder on Youtube just for a laugh.

Bottom line is I expected this to totally suck and figured I probably wouldn't even get through it and instead got several laugh out loud moments and even scenes that I would consider absolute comedy classics. Very funny cameos from Dio, Ben Stiller, Tim Robbins and an extremely amusing Dave Grohl. Damn Funny.

DVD Review: Buy this movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great movie, buy it! The funniest Jack Black movie I have seen!

Description of Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny

Actors/musicians Jack Black and Kyle Gass bring their infamous rock duo Tenacious D to the big screen! The hilarious story of how "The D" became the self-proclaimed greatest band on earth, Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny follows the pair's plan to steal a supernatural guitar pick on display in a rock-and-roll museum in order to create a masterpiece song that will cement their place in music history.

You don't have to be a munchie-loving stoner or an aspiring rock god to enjoy Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, but it helps. A dozen years after they introduced their mock-rock power duo on the Los Angeles club scene, Jack Black and Kyle Gass finally got the movie showcase (a partial spinoff from the D's short-lived HBO series) their fans had been waiting for, and it's a rockin' romp with plenty of crude laughs that will hit home for anyone who's ever played air guitar to Meat Loaf's "Bat out of Hell." It's a Beavis and Butt-head-like origin story, recalling the legend (ahem) of how JB (Black) and KG (Gass) met, bonded over bong-hits and rock-operatic guitar licks, then set out (on a tip from a crazed guitar-store clerk played by Ben Stiller) to find the mythic pick of destiny, used by all guitar gods and said to be fashioned from the tooth of Satan. Their quest includes a variety of well-cast cameos (including Tim Robbins, Meat Loaf, and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl as Satan himself), and there's plenty of flatulence, drug humor, at least one hilarious fantasy sequence, and outrageous sight gags too numerous to mention. Suffice it to say, it's about 90 minutes of lowbrow indulgence, and some of the jokes fall flat, but if you're a headbanger at heart, you'll know what Tenacious D is riffing on, and the sweet licks (also available on the soundtrack CD) will sound that much sweeter. If you're not ready to RAWK, this potential cult favorite may not be for you... but give it try anyway. It may not be better than Citizen Kane, but if you're properly stoked, it comes close to rock & roll heaven. --Jeff Shannon
