THIS IS SPINAL TAP
- Mitzi J. Johnson



Hello to you and you and you! Oh and how could I ever forget YOU! So, if you do not watch LOST, well, I am so sorry for you. The two-hour season finale is in a few weeks and I just can't wait. MATTHEW FOX is my soul mate, well, I guess after BRAD PITT and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, a girl has got to have at least three soul mates, right? Oh, five, 'cuz I forgot JOHNNY DEPP and DENZEL. So, anyhoosie, LOST is just getting really good and I just can't wait to see what happens. Okay, so, I was inspired to this next review by an interview I read on FULL IN BLOOM. Here it is:

Okay, well I have seen this film a number of times and I think it just gets better each time. This is truly one of the funniest movies of the ages, at least in my book. Hmm, maybe I should write a book. I could make millions and could be like CARRIE BRADSHAW in SEX AND THE CITY. Moving on, HIGH ANXIETY and most WOODY ALLEN films, and BEST IN SHOW are in my top ten list of funniest films ever, along with this film, Oh and WAYNE'S WORLD. Okay, so if you haven't seen it, then just drop whatever you are doing go to NETFLIX or your video store and get it NOW!!! CHRISTOPHER GUEST AND MICHAEL MCKEAN are super brill. I love them. They make you laugh until you cry. I once stood by ROB REINER at a movie theatre. I didn't know what to say. The part with BILLY CRYSTAL is true genius. Actually, that's what you are seeing when you watch this film. COMIC GENIUS, plain and simple. Yes that is PAUL SHORTINO as DUKE FAME. It is basically a satirical documentary on the band SPINAL TAP, which has had their time of glory. I can't say much more than....if you don't watch this film, I really don't think we can be friends.

Toodles,

Mitzi
