Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe
Fan favorite stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan returns to the stage for a new special. Riffing on a breadth of new topics like how unimpressive it is to become a father for the fourth time, and how Disney Land is a lot like the DMV, Gaffigan is about on par in his new special, so if [...]
Seven Psychopaths
If you’re reading this because you’re on the fence as to whether or not to go see Seven Psychopaths, then stop now and go see it. I can’t recommend it enough. There were four films that came out this year that I had been looking forward to for a long time: Joss Whedon’s Cabin in [...]
Peace, Love and Misunderstanding
Peace, Love and Misunderstanding is a story of three generations coming together because of an impending divorce with a mother of two teens who hasn’t seen her mother in more than a decade. Jane Fonda plays Grace, the pot-smoking, animal loving, stuck-in-the-hippies era grandmother, and Catherine Kenner plays Dianne, who has recently learned that her [...]
Katt Williams: Kattpacalypse
Katt Williams: Kattpacalypse is an hour’s worth of Katt Williams’ acerbic comedy with him taking stabs at President Obama, who is just another (insert “N” word here) as far as Williams is concerned. He submits that white America also forgot that Obama is biracial, so when they call for him to react like a black man [...]
General Education
Levi Collins (Chris Sheffield) has the perfect life. He’s about to graduate high school, and accept a scholarship to play tennis at Forest Wood University. Except that he’s not going to graduate high school because he manages to fail his Earth Science class at the eleventh hour. So, with his father’s pride on the line, [...]
Watch This: Trailer for The Comedy
If you know the names Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, you probably know them from a “quirky” (I don’t think I’m going to find the right word for it) project called Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie (2012). Or from their cult-hit, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, an ultra low budget comedy sketch show that aired in 2007. [...]
Butter
Every once in a while a movie so impossibly ludicrous comes along that my faith in the moviemaking industry is tested. Such is the case with the movie Butter which follows a young girl, appropriately named Destiny, as she squares off against a power-hungry hausfrau in a statewide butter-sculpting competition. How a plot like this [...]
I Heart Shakey
Any pet owner will tell you that after a while, a pet becomes more than just a pet. It becomes a member of the family. I Heart Shakey is a film that gets right to the heart of that matter and will make pet owners everywhere cheer for the brave protagonists in the film. And [...]
Klown
The influence of Kevin Smith’s brand of sweet but foul-mouthed comedy has been wide-ranging and occasionally very popular. Judd Apatow took the formula and turned it into a series of hit comedies, and in America this has transformed into a series of female-centric comedies such as Bridesmaids, Bachelorette and For a Good Time, Call…. However, [...]
Portlandia Season Two
Portlandia first made waves when it aired on IFC and hipsters realized they had a place to call home. Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein lead their absurdist cast of guest stars in various skits and sketches that take place around the beautiful Northwestern city. VSC is bringing the acclaimed second season to blu-ray and DVD [...]
