undead fun and games with a battle thrown in

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2006)

army of darkness is, quite literally, the funniest film since the middle ages! once again our hero ash takes on soul-swallowing deadites, but this time, he's suffering from a serious split personality and he's 400 years too early for therapy! stranded in the past, ash lands in the middle of a battle between good and evil (again) and nobody's sure which side he's on. after dispatching a few deadites and showing off his boom stick, however, he is hailed as the saviour we've known he was all along. with a horse, some magic words and the coolest prosthetic hand in movie history, he sets off to the graveyard to retrieve the book of the dead which will destroy the deadites and send him home. this being ash, however, things don't quite go according to plan. if you haven't seen it, i won't blow the ending for you. also, if you haven't seen it, what's taking you so long? watch it now! you'll cry (maybe), you'll laugh (definitely), you'll never annoy a man with a boom stick!
