The 'Burbs
As reviewed by Miguel Cucksocker Kesey
I watched The 'Burbs one night because I thought my mum's room was haunted, so I wanted to sleep downstairs...
No, don't insult me for that...at least I'm not scared of Hoovers like Juan.
Ok, so anyway, The 'Burbs stars Tom Hanks of AIDS fame, and Carrie Fisher, of drugs fame... The film is about Ray Peterson (Tom Hankypanky) and his wife, Carol (Ooooh... eerily, this character is played by Carrie Fisher) living in the quiet suburbs...however, right next door they have weird neighbours, the Clopecks...which is, apparently, a Slovic name...
They begin to think that the Clopecks are up to a lot of horrible stuff like killing and maiming - the sort of stuff Milosevic does to his people on a daily basis - due to the fact they're bored suburbanites...then when one of their other neighbours, Walter, goes missing, they think the Clopecks have killed him and buried him in the back yard...
And so forth...
It's "an enjoyable romp" as they'd say in "Playboy"...and is quite funny, I really liked it actually. I won't spoil the end, but Corey Feldman (also of drugs fame) says something so annoying that you want to smash his face in with a fist of steel. Ahh...Corey...I remember when you were in "The Goonies", and you had spiky hair, and you'd say things like "Jerk alert" and I'd think you were cool, but no longer, no, no longer do I think you're cool, Corey...I think you're SCUM!
So, watch the Goonies when it's on...forget about The 'Burbs, they always cut it anyway...
