American Pie Presents Band Camp (2005)

*Get the film on Amazon here*

The stupid little brother (Tad Hilgenbrink) of the stupid character Stifler from the stupid theatrical films goes to a stupid band camp, wreaking stupid havoc and causing stupid mayhem, because the stupid film makers decided you're too stupid to want laughs from a stupid comedy.

This is one of the worst comedies I have ever seen, and I sat through "Beer for My Horses." I hated all the characters, the story is predictable, and the lead character is a borderline sociopath who never should have had an entire film resting on his misadventures. Repulsive and sad, your level of enjoyment might depend on how funny you find the word "stiff" and all its incarnations. The first of a handful of direct-to-video stories, I wish they would give the entire franchise a rest. Also known as "Band Camp."

Stephen King: A Necessary Evil (2020)

I suspect this surface documentary was an excuse to tell the world how Stephen King felt about Donald Trump, and serves as King's coming...
