From my favorite movies..

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

The Gingerdead Man: Directed by Charles Band and Written by William Butler and August White(Pseudonym for Domonic MuirThis was a suggestion by James Cowdrey but I'm not entirely sure it was a serious suggestion. This movie is called The Gingerdead Man and it features a bonkers Gary Busey voicing a sentient cookie trying to murder people. This was never supposed to be taken seriously. The actual gingerbread man is pretty well done and shot in a way to make it as convincing as it needs to be in this situation. This is an extremely short movie. It says it runs at 76 minutes but it has a good ten minutes of credits. It also has this super cheap royalty free casio keyboard music that runs through every single solitary minute of the movie. If it was used a little more sparingly, it would work better to add to the wacky, goofy mood this film is trying for. There is almost no gore and all the gags you think they would use they do albeit poorly. This comes from Charles Band, that great B movie video king who I enjoyed during the 90s. This has a few moments that are fun in that way but not enough. It's schmaltzy. The acting is abyssmal as to be expected. It's also not very funny. It's what you think it is.I give this movie a D.

Working at her family's bakery, an accident forces a woman to realize that her efforts to keep it afloat are to be put aside when a thought-dead serial killer returns as a rampaging cookie killing off those working with her and must try to stop the killer again.For the most part this one was quite decent and rather ordinary slasher effort. One of the better points here is the fact that this one's really quite funny and cheesy which really works nicely for the film which is what makes this one so much fun. The light tone that comes from the story and the cheesy set-up gives this the perfect light-hearted story which is then turned into the rather cheesy and silly atmosphere here that extends rather nicely to the rest of the film as it's action scenes are just too silly to take seriously. The way in which the killer is resurrected by the blood being dropped into the vat of dough and then being baked into the cookie itself is the start of this one's cheesiness as there's the oddball manner of it always coming up behind someone and taking them out in the back of the bakery or the manner of it attacking those around the bakery which are some of the greatest scenes in the film as these stalking scenes are quite fun. As well, the different manners of it confronting the group in the back-parts of the bakery in the end are just as much fun which gives this one quite a rather exciting final half which gets some really fun action to pump it up. Alongside the fine gore and make-up effects for the killer, these here are what really make for an enjoyable time over the film's few flaws. One of the main stumbling blocks here is the fact that there's really just so much about this one that sticks out about it's low-budget influences. This is mostly apparent in the rather shoddy, cheap-looking sets that are used here with this one, being especially prominent in the opening at the diner though it's really obvious with their bakery shop being used for the entirety of the film which is just so cheap-looking that it's hard to take this one seriously about the budgetary constraints. As well, that includes the film's utterly ludicrous plot line that really seems as though it's quite a cheesy effort with the concept of the killer coming to possess a cookie and then proceeding to stalk and torment her friends which is such a crazy idea that it's nearly impossible to take this seriously. Add onto that the fact of the wisecrack- quipping killer and it's somewhat cheesy and silly enough to really be somewhat irritating at times. The only other issue here comes from the fact that it's so short, barely clocking in at seventy minutes and then being forced to tack on an agonizingly slow ending screen-scroll for the credits to beef out the time even more which shows off even further how weak the overall plot is. These here are what hold this one back.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.

****CAUTION: This review handles Full Moon ratings, not measured by general horror standards*****Garey Busey - who sorta looks like he's a little drunk and having received no directional guidelines whatsoever, but it still seems like he's having a lot of fun - robs a dining place and kills some people. Later on, he gets the electric chair for his cruel acts. His mom (was it actually his mom?) sends his ashes mixed with gingerbread paste to a bakery (owned by the sole surviving daughter of the incident). It gets accidentally mixed with blood (yeah, well what did you expect?) and... Gary Busey resurrects as the Killer Gingerbread Man! I gotta hand it to Charles Band: this is one of the craziest plots (and at the same time one of the most retarded) he ever came up with. Featuring a lovely brunette (Robin Sydney) and a wanna-be bad-girrrl & totally unlikeable blond bimbo in the leads. Kinda fun stuff, pretty damn bad in general and strongly recommended viewing strictly for Full Moon Nuts & fanboys/girls. Others steer clear away unless you want to lament for Gary Busey.

I LOVED this movie! Don't get me wrong, 4/10 is a fair score, it doesn't deserve higher, but still, I loved this movie! And this movie is not terribly made - low-budget horror filmmakers should take note on the movies Full Moon releases, this is how you do it.The interesting thing is it has Gary Busey in it, which provides some star power. Then I started to wonder, how is Gary Busey a known actor? What do I know him from/what films he famous for? I couldn't think of an answer, and I'm too lazy to look here on IMDb, so I just don't care.Anyway, since he's completely totally nuts in real life, he fits his role here well. The actual 'Gingerdead man' running around, and killing people - sheer awesomeness!
