Enter the Void 2010
Director Gaspar Noe and I aren't exactly seeing eye to eye. This is the second film I've seen of his, and it left me feeling quite the same way the first one did.
You see Mr. Noe seems to have a thing for constant camera movement specifically a rotating camera. In the previous film I watched of his Irreversible it was extremely jarring and bothersome. In this film it didn't bother me as much but the other thing he does…

Celeste & Jesse Forever 2012
“Luckily I had a spoon in my hand…and I shoved it up my ass."
Lewis BlackThis film made me vomit in my mouth a little bit. It tries to be cute but ends up being repulsive instead. I used the quote above because saying gag me with a spoon didn't quite cover it. The one star is for Rashida Jones who is very easy on the eyes.

George Carlin: It's Bad for Ya! 2008
George Carlin has always been one of my favorite comedians. His views on politics, religion, and the stupid shit people do and say has always cracked me up. This film is hilarious throughout, and as a self described "old fuck he's just as funny as he ever was. I miss George Carlin, and the world lost a great comedian when he passed.

Shrek 2001
I'm notoriously hard on kids films. I'm a grown ass man and I like grown ass man things. Now that doesn't mean there's no kids film I enjoy. There's several and Shrek is one of them. A big reason why this film works for me is, while it's great for kids it has adult things neatly tucked inside. They're not things young children will pick up on and they make Shrek very watchable for adults.
The voice acting is very…

nWo: The Revolution 2012
This WWE film offers a bit of nostalgia for wrestling fans like my self, and covers one of the biggest things in the history of the business The NWO. The problem is if you were there, and were a fan at the time it doesn't offer anything new. It's only an hour and three minutes long so it skips a lot of detail. It's basically just a quick overview of what happened, and it only briefly covers the game changing…

Conan O'Brien Can't Stop 2011
I've always liked Conan, so this was going to appeal to more than someone who doesn't like or know his work. The Man got shafted out of The Tonight Show I don't think there's too many people who would disagree with that. This film film while based on the tour he did after parting was with NBC is really just a look at how much he loves doing what he does. It's obvious the man loves showbiz, and entertaining people and has a lot of fun doing it.

Jay and Silent Bob Go Down Under 2012
I'm a Jay and Silent Bob fan, but this was only mildly funny at best. Any two guys could get together on stage and tell dick and fart jokes/stories.

Eddie Murphy: Raw 1987
Still funny but pretty dated, and some of the jokes run too long and get annoying.

Noroi 2005
What a disappointment! I'd heard this was a creepy found footage/mockumentary film. I didn't find it creepy at all, and although it was made as if it was real I didn't find it to be very convincing. I had hope for an underseen gem, but all I got was a below average horror film in the tired found footage format. Oh well it was worth a shot.

An American Werewolf in London 1981
This film features everything that's great about 80's horror. Unfortunately it also features everything that is bad about 80's horror.
The story was fine, the actors were good enough, and I liked the setting. With this film being released in the 80's though you get a lot of cheesy moments, and some down right ridiculous looking special effects. I was born in 76 so I grew up in the 80's, and for the most part I wasn't impressed with that decade. The film is harmless fun for horror fans though and it's worth a watch for sure.

Funny Games 1997
I'm not sure if it's because I saw it first or because I'm an English speaking American, but I prefer the remake of this film. They are pretty much shot for shot the same just with different actors obviously, but the remake resonated with me more. I also liked the actors better in the remake, but I enjoyed both versions.
Michael Haneke gets his point across loud and clear. I enjoy the fact he had the balls to make these films which completely fuck with the audience. I recommend either version, but don't expect to have a good time.
