...scans the audience to start his new one-man show, Much Ado About Everything. Indeed, it's a wonder that they are let in the building--Mason realizes his audience is virtually 100 percent Jewish and tailors his comedy appropriately. Sure, he occasionally delivers the universally appealing punch line, but even those seem unintentional--Mason knows his audience and boldly refuses to make his comedy broadly palatable. A gutsy approach but one that pays off in spades...

Even the Rambo-esque ending cannot save this movie. The audience does at least get to root against the new military (commanded, ironically, by a handful of ridiculously-foppish officers) and cheer when Todd lands a punch. Despite the gory violence, the predictable plot and obvious themes in the film are, in some ways, more painful experiences for the audience.

Suys, who has been playing the guitar for nineteen years, provides most of the punch behind Nashville Pussy's music. In the rip-roaring "Go Motherfucker Go," Suys proves herself to be more than just a passing instrumentalist, with admirable riffs that pretty much make the song. The fiery introduction to "All Fucked Up" is an exceptional example of her skill. Any notion that "chicks" can't cut it in the heavy metal world will quickly be put to rest by her amazing guitar pyrotechnics; as she is one of the few truly talented female guitarists in rock and roll...
