National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)


A Comedy directed by John Landis, starring John Belushi.
A rouge fraternity has problems.
This film is all about college pranks and excesses. Tne plot and characters were decent, but interesting. The style is pretty good, but the production value sucked. The pace was actually the best part, as it went pretty quick. I'm rating this adequate because of entertainment value.

Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo (2006)


A music mockumentary by Les Claypool.
A fictional band records an album and plays at an outdoor festival. A few musicians from other groups are interviewed about the fictional band.
This is supposed to be a spin-off of This is Spinal Tap and it's one of the few movies that Wikipedia does not list a release date for. It is also a National Lampoon film. I thought it was moderately funny and relatively accurate to how a band functions and dysfunctions together. I'm rating it adequate because, as it's about an alternative rock/jam band, it is mediocre by design.
