Ellipsis Movie Of The Week... Madhouse

 

Jessie: (Mark is having a nightmare about zombies) What do they want?

Mark: They... want to say here.

Jessie: Oh Mark, why?

Mark: I don't know, maybe we are in some vacation guide for the damned!


As you probably know by know, when I was a kid I was an avid viewer of, The Movie of the Week, which aired on ABC. I couldn't wait to find out what genre of movie was next. I guess you could say I became quite the cinephile at a really young age. Like maybe 5 or so. Like with reading, when life was a little to much, I could climb into another story for a couple hours and it was comforting. Well, because of budgeting factors and ratings, all the networks pulled the plug on the movies, in favor of scripted television. Dallas, Falcon Crest, Three's Company, Charlie's Angels... which by the way... aired their pilot on the ABC Movie of the week. Ironic, right? Anyway, why do I have miss it? So, here's a new feature of my blog, The Ellipsis Movie of the Week!

I really need an escape, so lets begin with some comedy, shall we?


Lets begin with a funny little movie from 1990, Madhouse. Jessie and Mark have bought their first house, and are barely settled in, when out of the blue family, and their slightly grumpy cat, visits. What could go wrong? Everything to a hilarious degree. This movie received mixed reviews on IMBD, but personally, it always makes me laugh. I need that right now, and I am betting you do too. Let me know in the comments what you think, or not, but watch the movie and laugh or as the theme song, by Chris Rea, says...
 Lets Dance!
