Igor

In a land of mad scientists and diabolical inventions, what do you do when youčre born with a hunch on your back? You become an Igor. A twist on the classic monster movie, that tells the story of one Igor--who's sick of being a lowly lab assistant with a "Yes Master's" degree--and dreams of becoming a scientist. When his cruel master kicks the bucket a week before the annual Evil Science Fair, Igor finally gets his chance. With the help of two of his experimental creations--Brain, a brain in a jar who's a little light on brains, and Scamper, a cynical bunny brought back from being road kill, Igor embarks on building the most evil invention of all time, a huge, ferocious monster. Unfortunately, instead of turning out evil, the monster turns out as Eva, a giant aspiring actress who wouldn't hurt a fly. Just when the load on his back can't get any heavier, Igor and his band of monstrous misfits uncover an evil plot that threatens their world. Now, they must fight to save it and prove that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    superb..................................

    this dvd is superb. It stars (the voices of) John Cleese, Eddie Izzard, Molly Shannon, Christian Slater, John Cusack and Steve Bescemi, Jennifer Coolidge, Arsenio Hall, Sean Hayes, Jay Leno and James Lipton.

    The evil land of Malaria was once a happy place, until heavy storm clouds moved in one day and never left.

    Malaria soon fell into despair, darkness and ruin, until King Malbert came up with a plan to bring prosperity back to the land. Every year, Malaria would hold an evil science fair, and the winner's invention would be used to extort huge sums of money from the rest of the world.

    With this prestigous prize, mad scientists gained power, and it became customary that all hunchbacks be sent to Igor school, where they become experts in the art of 'yes master' and train to assist the scientists in their evil work.

    One Igor, however, aspires to rise above the hunch on his back and win the science fair with his own invention.

    The chance arises when his master is unexpectedly blown out of the picture. So Igor gets to work in creating the monster of his dreams, with the help of his two previous experiments that went slightly wrong -- Brain, an unintelligent brain in a jar, and Scamper, a suicidal but immortal bunny brought back from being road kill.

    Igor's monster is huge and hideous. T

    The problem is, that she turns out to be a good-hearted soul who dreams of being an actress.

    Igor uses this desire against her by telling her that the science fair is an audition for a role, and that she must act evil and destructive to get the part.

    Eva's kind nature soon opens Igor's eyes to the opposite side of evil, however, and when he later learns the truth about Malaria's storm clouds, he realizes that being the evil capital of the world is not all it's cracked up to be.

    Igor is then determined to set things right... but can he?

    watch the film to find out..............

    Lakeview Terrace takes top spot at US box office

    • 22 Sep 2008

    New thriller Lakeview Terrace has claimed the number one spot from the Coen brothers on the US box office chart. Neil LaBute's thriller - which pulled in $15.6 million (£8.5 million) in its first weekend on release - knocked The Oscar-winning duo's new comedy drama Burn After Reading from the top slot. In the new movie, Samuel L Jackson plays an LAPD officer who disapproves of the interracial relationship of his next-door neighbours. Elsewhere, romantic comedy My Best Friend's Girl opened...
