Zero Effect

Director: Jake Kasdan
Starring: Aleta Barthell, J.W. Crawford, Sarah DeVincentis, Kim Dickens, David Doty
Genre: Thriller
Studio: Turner Home Ent
My Rating:
Rated: R
Rating: 10
Release: Jul 1998
Summary: Zero Effect follows private investigator Daryl Zero and Steve Arlo, his reluctant representative, through one particularly tangled case involving blackmail, murder, revenge, and a set of lost keys. Zero is the world's best private investigator, suave and totally in control while on a case, but socially inept when off the job. The diversely talented and prolific Bill Pullman is excellently cast as Zero, switching seamlessly from one persona to the next, and the ever-charming Ben Stiller is his perfect sidekick. In a deadpan description of his method, or the "Zero Effect," Zero details his brilliance for Sherlock Holmes-like deductions, based on his strict adherence to objectivity and observation, or, in Zero parlance, "the obs." Somewhat predictably the obs falter when the case of the missing keys brings Zero to Gloria Sullivan, a winsome and mysterious paramedic played by Kim Dickens. Thankfully, writer-director Jake Kasdan is no less brilliant than the Zero he creates, and the potential corniness of the developing romance is balanced by a razor-sharp wit and the nail-biting suspense of the unfolding plot.
 

Zombie Strippers

Director: Jay Lee
Starring: Jenna Jameson, Roxy Saint, Robert Englund, Tito Ortiz, Billy Beck
Genre: Comedy, Horror
Studio: Sony Pictures
My Rating:
Rated: R
Rating: 4.2 (11,942 votes)
Release: Sep 2008
Summary: Get yourself a snappy title and a couple of marquee names (however disreputable) and you might just snag your no-budget movie a national release--as "Zombie Strippers" colorfully proves. The names in question belong to porn star Jenna Jameson and Freddie Krueger himself, Robert Englund, both of whom look quite comfortable in this sleazy milieu. As the title suggests (well, "suggests" might be a mild word), there has been an outbreak of the undead in a strip club, with strippers actually improving their onstage antics after they've become zombies. (Given the number of implants on display, it's a wonder the zombies didn't keel over from silicone poisoning.) Englund is the proprietor of the place, Jameson is a star dancer, and a couple of actresses in the "nice girl" roles don't have to take their tops off, although almost everybody else does. Writer-director Jay Lee fills the movie with political gags and a bunch of philosophy references (Jameson reads Nietzsche, the locale is Sartre, Nebraska), all of which play like a lame attempt to distinguish his movie as something other than a puerile horror-comedy. Only thing is, when you try to disguise the fact that you've made a puerile horror-comedy, it kind of takes the oomph out of both the horror and the comedy. The political jibes are about as feeble as those in "Southland Tales", but at least "Zombie Strippers" is shorter. Shot on video, it looks atrocious, but perhaps that doesn't matter very much.

Summary: Searching for family. In the early twenty-first century, zombies have taken over America. A shy and inexperienced college student in Texas has survived by following his 30 rules: such as "look in the back seat," "double-tap," "avoid public restrooms." He decides to travel to Ohio to see if his parents are alive. He gets a ride with a boisterous zombie-hating good-old boy headed for Florida, and soon they confront a young woman whose sister has been bitten by a zombie and wants to be put out of her misery. The sisters were headed to an LA amusement park they've heard is zombie free. Can the kid from Ohio get to his family? And what about rule thirty one?
 

Zoolander

Director: Ben Stiller
Starring: Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell
Genre: Comedy
Studio: Paramount
My Rating:
Rated: PG-13
Rating: 6.5 (123,792 votes)
Release: Sep 2001
Summary: Charge your micro-mini cell phones and whip up some orange mocha Frappuccino, 'cuz "Zoolander" is on the runway, and you're gonna laugh your booty off! Based on a sketch created by writer-director Ben Stiller and cowriter Drake Sather for the 1996 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, "Zoolander" is a delirious send-up of New York's fashion scene as epitomized by male model Derek Zoolander (Stiller), a dimwitted preener who's oblivious to a "Manchurian Candidate"-like plot to turn him into a brainwashed assassin. Tipped off by a reporter (Christina Taylor), Zoolander teams with rival model Hansel (Owen Wilson) to foil the poodle-haired fashion designer (Will Ferrell) who's behind the nefarious scheme. The goofy plot's only half the fun; with roles for Stiller's parents (Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara), dozens of celebrity cameos, endlessly quotable dialogue, and improvisational energy to spare, "Zoolander" is very smart about being very stupid, easily matching the "Austin Powers" franchise for inspired comedic lunacy.
