Moontrap isn't that bad, you know.
The good news: Bruce Campbell's enormously entertaining self-deprecating horror/comedy My Name is Bruce -- which finds our titular real-life hero battling a blood-thirsty Chinese God in Smalltown, America -- should help you forget all about The Chin's last directorial endeavor, namely The Man with the Screaming Brain. The bad news: If you're not a fan of Campbell's work, in particular the Evil Dead series, chances are this unruly little farce isn't going to elicit anything but mild irritation and sudden outbursts of crude, vulgar language. Then again, if you're not a fanatic follower of Campbell's career, you probably shouldn't bother with this one to begin with. Most of the jokes, of course, are aimed directly at Campbell, who uses this oddball opportunity to poke fun at his rabid legion of pasty, basement-dwelling admirers, the proverbial Hollywood machine, and, most importantly, himself. Campbell pulls absolutely no punches when it comes to bashing his own body of work; Cave Alien, as mind-numbingly campy as it sounds, could easily be in development somewhere within the bowels of the Sci-Fi Channel's low-budget headquarters. My Name is Bruce marks a return to form for Campbell, proving once again why he's the undisputed king of B-grade silliness.
Recipe For Success: Bruce Campbell's Raging Ego + Ted Raimi In Three Separate Roles + MILFs Love Them Some Ash
One-Liners Galore: If you enjoy quoting movies, be sure to keep a pen and paper handy at all times.
Bruce loves to hear them over and over again at horror conventions.

Glad to hear it!
I am looking forward to seeing this one
[and I enjoyed The Man with the Screaming Brain] :-)
