\"\"<\/a>Danny Wolf\u2019s documentary series is something of a contradiction in that it\u2019s a series about cult movies that were or continue to be unappreciated. And yet, every movie that\u2019s covered all has rabid fan bases. Some of them even have conventions and social gatherings celebrating them. While the \u201cTime Warp\u201d movie series doesn\u2019t re-invent the wheel, if you\u2019re in the mood to celebrate some fun cult films and just lose yourself in mainly American cult classics, then Volume 3 is right up your alley.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The final volume for \u201cTime Warp\u201d digs in to mainly comedy and campy films, all of which don\u2019t have many connections thematically. They\u2019re all mainly just given random placements here and there. It feels like \u201cBest in Show\u201d would have been better suited for Volume 1 where we got to look back at \u201cThis is Spinal Tap,\u201d but I guess that\u2019s more of a nitpick than anything. The movies in the documentary are mostly great films and masterpieces. It\u2019s just that director Wolf doesn\u2019t go any deeper beyond having celebrities boast about them and their influence. What about \u201cOffice Space\u201d struck such a universal chord in 1999? Why does it continue to connect to its fans over two decades later?<\/p>\n

How did \u201cFast Times in Ridgemont High\u201d manage to remain in the memory of eighties kids in a decade where John Hughes is widely considered the poster child for this fare? Why did there seem to be bad blood between the crew of \u201cValley Girl\u201d and its former star Deborah Foreman? And why introduce such an interesting panel of cult figures in film only to cut to them for twenty seconds in random intervals? That said, Volume 3 is a breezy good time that thankfully covers films beyond the eighties. There are fun peeks in to \u201cMonty Python and the Holy Grail,\u201d and \u201cPlan 9 from Outer Space,\u201d while director Wolf is able to grab a lot of unique cast members from myriad films that take center stage. It\u2019s a nice 101 course for aspiring movie geeks, and just a neat time killer for cult movie buffs.<\/p>\n
