December 18, 2014The second film in my Eric Jeffrey Haims double feature was 'A Clock Work Blue', and I still haven't made my mind up about it yet. It began with a racist scene about a black man and a Jewish man who go to heaven and exhibit all the racist stereotypes they possibly can. A voice (god, maybe?) grants one wish to each man. The black man wishes for a million dollars and the Jewish man wishes for a nice timepiece that allows him to travel through time. As he goes through time, the black man watches his journey on a television made out of a watermelon. The Jewish guy visits several historical moments in time (including George Washington, Helen of Troy, Julius Caesar, Marie Antoinette, Attila the Hun, and the pilgrims and Native Americans) all of which involved potential sexual encounters that the Jewish guy shied away from. It was supposed to be a comedy, but it wasn't very funny. Occasionally I thought it was OK, but as was the case with 'The Jekyll & Hyde Portfolio', I don't really recommend it.
