Blacktop (2000) Review

David (Lochlyn Munro), an apparently struggling comedian, and his girlfriend Sylvia (Kristin Davis) have stopped in Blacktop for a gig. Blacktop seems to be little more than a truck stop, and it's never really explained why they need a comedy club there.

But excluding that little gaffe, David hurls his insults in the general direction of the audience, which seems to love the jokes - except for Jack (Meat Loaf), who himself is a trucker, and seems to take particular insult to David's comments, perhaps because of David's little ditty when Jack starts to talk to Sylvia.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
