Buckaroo Banzai in the Eighth Dimension

This one is one of the greatest flicks that few have ever heard of. The cast alone should make it fairly well known: Peter Weller, Ellen Barkin, JohnLithgow, Jeff Goldblum,and many others. The star of this move is Buckaroo Banzai, a combination superhero/nuerosurgeon/rock star/stuntman who can solve all of the problems of the world without even trying (yes, I plagerized that last bit).

I truly wish that I could give you more information on this movie, but the only times that I saw this movie was at the Wildman's Movie House, and as I said before, the refreshments were real cheap, and being the bargain hunter that I am, took full advantage.

The most important quote of the movie is made by Buckaroo himself. He addresses a person at one of his concerts and shares with her one of life's most simple truths: "Remember, no matter where you go, there you are." At another time, he states, "Home is where you wear your hat."

With this kind of wisdom sprinkled throughout the story, it is no wonder that I made the conscious decision to partake of the refreshments that were made available to us. I strongly encourage you to rent this one and watch it. It will be well worth you while.
