my name is bruce (2008)

Gold Lick is a small mining town that is ravaged by a Chinese war demon when some teenagers disturb it. The surviving teen goes is search of the one man he thinks can help them, Bruce Campbell. Bruce believes it to be a wind up by his agent but plays along, until it finally dawns on him that the demon is for real! Now what's an over the hill, cowardly, b movie actor to do?
A film made by Bruce Campbell, for Bruce Campbell fans and it delivers in all the right ways. Bruce takes great delight in playing an obnoxious, demanding and annoying actor. The comedy is very broad but works on many levels. There's the obvious references to Bruce and his b movie career, (in jokes that Bruce fans will revel in), and then to Hollywood, the people and the processes involved in it. So sit back and watch it for what it is, a sometimes lame, sometimes corny, b movie taking the piss out of lame and corny b movies.
