Bruce Campbell's newest movie was released in limited theaters this past weekend. However, I had the fortune to see its world premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse last week. And, to top it off, the man himself attended and hosted a Q&A with the audience after the showing.
Now, I admit, the fact that I consider Army of Darkness to be the greatest movie ever has probably biased my opinion about Bruce Campbell. However, he is one of those individuals who just becomes increasingly admirable the more you learn about him. First off, this film was essentially his child. Not only did he star in it, but he also directed and co-produced it. He even had the set built on his own property in Oregon. Second, he chose to premiere it at a (relatively) small venue like the Alamo in an isolated city like Austin because he loves alternative pro-movie-buff places like it and wants to support them however he can. Third...the man is one cool customer. He gave a hell of a Q&A. Such charisma!
If you enjoy any of Bruce's previous works, I highly recommend you check out "My Name is Bruce." Even without seeing the man in person, it's still a pretty enjoy way to spend 90 minutes.
