'Freaked' still fresh
Late one night, many years ago (in a memory that is hazy at best) I once saw most of a brilliantly funny movie on Cinemax that I was sure most people had never even heard of. The movie was called Freaked and it starred Bill and Ted's Alex Winter — you know, the one who was not Keanu Reeves — as a cocky movie star turned into a hideous sideshow freak by some toxic chemicals.
Years later, I found a copy of this movie on DVD at my public library of all places. I quickly made a copy (possibly legal) and sat on it for a few months. (Not literally.)
Well, last night (my memory of which is only slightly less hazy than that night many years ago) I watched it in its entirety. And I have to say, it's even better than I remember it. Not only does it have an Evil Dead 2 giddiness to it, but I also detected some pretty biting social, gender and economic satire in there.
More importantly, it's got Mr. T in drag.
See this movie.
