A must-see digital versatile disk!
So I saw one of the best B-movies ever made the other night: Bubba Ho-Tep. It features B-movie legend Bruce Campbell and actual movie legend Ossie Davis. Campbell stars as an elderly man in a nursing home who is an ex-Elvis impersonator, but he himself believes that he is actually Elvis. Not in a crazy way, but he tells a story about how when he was at the height of his fame, he got so sick of the empty lifestyle and fairweather friends, that he sought out the nation's premire Elvis impersonator and switched places with him, becoming an impersonator of himself, living the simple life in the middle of nowhere. While in the nursing home, he befriends Davis, an elderly black man who believes he's JFK, and that his enemies died his skin black and dumped him in the middle of nowhere after the assassination attempt failed. Together, they team up to fight a zombie. Now, that's a movie!
