This movie just isnt very good **Spoiler alert!!!**


I had high hopes for this film. When I saw the documentary Satan in the Suburbs, I was a little disappointed to see the actor who plays Ricky in Ricky 6.

Vincent Kartheiser does not capture the essence of Ricky at all. He bore no resemblance, physically or spiritually, to Ricky. It was almost like he had no idea that there was a real Ricky Kasso, and he just played a character based on a script.

I truly didnt feel like I was watching the story of Ricky. It seems more like an afterschool special about a stoner kid who kills another kid. At the end, I was waiting for some PSA telling me that
"Drugs are bad (mmmkay?)"
"Devil worship is bad (mmmkay?)

They brought in the Pat Pagen character, which was cool, but as we all know, Ricky kicked Pats ass and stole his medallion.
Well, when you see Pat (Kevin Gage) in this film, you see there is no way *this* Ricky could kick his ass. In fact, Vincent Kartheiser doesnt look like he could kick *anyone's* ass.

I recv'd my copy last week and I've watched it twice. I will watch it again but I have to turn it off when it reaches the end.

It shows Ricky and Jimmy (Tommy in the film) making a suicide pact. Come midnight, they were both to hang themselves in their jail cells.
According to Jimmy and the book, we all know it didnt go down that way at all.

If you havent seen Satan in the Suburbs, I would reccomend it. Seeing Jimmy today, and hearing him talk about Ricky is cool.
