"Elvis Costello changed everything for me. I had to have everything he made and I had to hear it all. I loved everything about him and I think I modelled myself after him a little bit. He was a solo artist and I loved the way he incorporated a band like The Attractions, it was a cool concept. I thought his whole vibe was so cool - this cool guy in the shades, kind of goofy looking and awkward, but it was all part of his aesthetic. "Red Shoes” is a great example of how he could write an instant classic, that song sounds like it’s been around forever. I really started getting into the cracks of songwriting when I heard it and it opened more technical doors for me as well. I’m definitely a fan, though, not just a scholarly fan. A lot of people I know don’t like him or don’t get it, and maybe that’s true in a grander, bigger scale - either you like him or you don’t. I love his voice and he’s a singer that I’ve tried to emulate a lot, even though I have no business doing that. He’s inspired me to write so many songs of my own and that’s helped to motivate me."

I am here for llama based horror/sci-fi films, I never thought I'd say that but here we are. My only quibble with this film is that there was too much human, not enough llama.

There are so many bad and awkward things about this film when you watch it, but Louie makes up for every single one of them... the extreme close-ups, the horrendous acknowledgement of puns, the dubious montages accompanied by loud music, Floyd's transformation.

But here are all the good things. Louie's laser eyes, his green spit that transforms humans, Louie's understanding of electricity and opening doors, the use of tin foil, the 70s/80s effects, the animation (it's just a shame it's included in the film and not just the titles), eggs, the over-enthusiastic practical effects person with the super soaker of goop, Louie's boxing ability, his always cool attitude, and a father's wisdom. Oh, and the end credit song.

It would be wrong of me to say that everyone got what they deserved... but...

You know what? That's my review. Quite frankly this is the worst and best film I've ever seen and I would watch it again.
