To be quite honest, I went into Kevin Smiths world premiere of Tusk not
knowing what to think; should I take this movie as comedy or a thorough
horror? The truth is the flick is both and Kevin Smith has done
something I have never seen before.
When quirky mean-spirited pod caster Wallace Brighton (Justin Long)
journeys to Canada to interview weird and wacky people not all is as he
expects as this movie proves that not all Canadians are nice.
Howard Howe is hands down the best character I have watched in a while
and its not surprising when he is played by Michael Parks. Howe is in
love with his stories but after a while you begin to wonder if they are
even real.
Parks shifts from funny to terrifying to just plain weird will stay
with you long after the film ends. He also happens to be immensely
quotable in this flick "are you really mourning your humanity,I don't
understand! Who in the hell would want to be human" or "We must
discover if man is truly a walrus at heart" stayed with me long after
the credits rolled.
Look I can't really review this movie without giving to much away, its
a flick about a guy who turns the apple guy into a walrus. But that is
why you have to see it. I too thought the concept was bizarre but the
movie works and hats off to Kevin Smith for making one of my favorites
of the year.
