I would still like to see this with a horror festival crowd, to see if it benifits from watching with a group.<br />Equally this film reminds me that I have to buy a blu-ray player so that I can own a copy of "Grindhouse" in it's original format, rather than the "screw you" two seperate movies form it finally came to the UK.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-43140167084378692682013-04-23T06:44:44.382-07:002013-04-23T06:44:44.382-07:00I basically agree with you on all accounts.

It's execution was almost unwatchable it was so boring.<br /><br />The Diary of Anne Frankenstein and Zom-B-Movie were also pretty good and definitely worth a few good chuckles.<br /><br />Not my favorite, but overall it made for a decent afternoon movie.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779808987259692124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-91612194789952825432013-04-17T04:28:39.842-07:002013-04-17T04:28:39.842-07:00I love the randomness of movies like "Beach B...I love the randomness of movies like "Beach Blanket Bingo" and the general idea of werebear, I just feel that how its construction which was far too sloppy, especially with its songs as I said in the review being far to forgettable, which seems to the sin of so many musicals, which forget that the songs are there to drive the story and not grind it to a halt while everyone has their little musical moment. <br />In a perfect world more musicals would be like the classics like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, Bugsy Malone or Calamity Jane. I think the closest we came as of late was "Repo: The Genetic Opera" even if it was hindered by Anthony Stewart Head's mediocre warbling.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-9456989946945205832013-04-17T04:17:00.445-07:002013-04-17T04:17:00.445-07:00Like yourself I was left with mixed feelings about...Like yourself I was left with mixed feelings about this one and still unsure if its because of the conditions I watched it under. Perhaps with a responsive audience it would have been more fun. Be keen to hear from anyone who has seen this at a festival.Elwood Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661750406352159996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-1037606672940932042013-04-16T18:02:50.481-07:002013-04-16T18:02:50.481-07:00I always want to defend Werebear, because I feel l...I always want to defend Werebear, because I feel like it came from a good place and I like the idea of playing with the teen beach blanket movies of the '50s to tell a coming-out tale. And me loving musicals, the songs aren't the problem. It's the length (which is an issue I have with ALL of the segments) that just doesn't know when to stop. All the stories (especially Anne Frank, which is great until it starts repeating itself) simply go on too long, but Werebear suffers that the most.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3565243314006487322.post-44705038692865336852013-04-16T12:59:16.403-07:002013-04-16T12:59:16.403-07:00I liked it and I hated it, it gets a huge mixed re...I liked it and I hated it, it gets a huge mixed reaction from me. If you ask me, Wadzilla is the best one and thats the one they start off with! I also liked the wrap around story with the glowing zombies...the rest was okay...but I hated the Were Bear one...it was so bad on so many levels...starting with the fact that it was a musical where no one could sing.
