Review of Ben & Arthur (2002) by Scott B — 25 May 2010

This is the greatest movie I have ever seen. Better than Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married?" and Tyler Perry's "Why Did I Get Married Too." Better than "Slamdunk Ernest." Better than "Ghoulies III: Ghoulies Go to College." Better than everything. Period.

I've been reading my dictionary for the past six weeks, non-stop, without ever sleeping to find a word that accurately describes the Sam Mraovich vision and, subsequently, universe. Nothing came close, until I found the word "pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" while browsing a medical journal. I'm not even going to bother finding out what that word means. It's Mraovich's word now. "Ben & Arthur" IS pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, and I'll defend it to the death, waging war against anyone who thinks otherwise. The gentleman who played the Priest is one of the finest underplayed character actors since Michael Moriarty dropped out of the biz to pursue a thriving career in domestic terrorism. It's not just the loss of his white-out that is ailing him, it is the loss of his very soul and MIIIIINNDDD!!!!! TOTAL EMOTIONAL DISINTEGRATION, I TELL YOU! ARE YOU FUCKING LISTENING TO ME!?!
