Mall Rats

November 1, 1995 by Mini Archives

Mall Rats By Tony Cruikshank This movie, filmed in the Eden Prairie mall, had very little to offer. Bad acting, very little plot, but the writing is what saved it. Two characters, Jay and Silent Bob, stole 100% of the show. In all, it’s a mediocre movie with some good exceptions.

Marilyn Manson – Smells Like Children By Chris Utne This CD is just a bunch of killer remixes of Marilyn Mansons’ last album, “Portrait of an American Family” and some weird satanic intros that are all about one minute long.
