One Funny Show.

Posted : 2 weeks, 1 day ago on 10 July 2008 10:49 (A review of South Park)

There is not really much to say about South Park because everyone already knows everything about it. It has become a classic to everyone that watches it. And frankly I think it is a great show. The geniuses: Trey Parker and Matt Stone put together a very funny television show. My favorite is probably Cartman, Stan, or Kyle. I highly enjoy every character though. The things that happen in this show, are hysterical, and fun to watch over and over again. What a great show.

UMM? No.

Posted : 2 weeks, 1 day ago on 10 July 2008 09:02 (A review of "Futurama")

This show fails on so many levels. It is just filled with stupid jokes and very stupid concepts. I don't remember laughing at this show once ever. However, people say it is one of the greatest shows on television. It might me be because people settle for next to nothing in comedy on t.v these days. I don't know. That is just what I think. this show is just not for me. It just doesn't have the material that I look for in a television show. I am not saying it will not appeal to you, I am just not very fond of it.

Entertaining.

This is one of the most entertaining shows on television. I think that because the contestants pull of some pretty crazy stunts and a lot odd and funny challenges. Some of them are extremely intense. I think Joe Rogan is the perfect guy for the hosting job. If you haven't seen this show yet then I suggest you do. It is very fun to watch.

A Great Show.

Posted : 2 weeks, 1 day ago on 10 July 2008 05:10 (A review of "Beauty and the Geek")

Beauty And The Geek is a great show with a lot of hilarious moments and a great concept. Several beautiful woman have one geek partner and go through several challenges with them as teams. I think this show really brings out the beauty in the geek. I highly enjoy this show and I think it is one of the best reality shows on the air.

More real then GSH but not better

Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago on 10 July 2008 07:16 (A review of The Firm)

When I first watched Green Street Hooligans, I thought is was a great film but I forgot the reason why I looked it up but I read that The Firm was much better. But I would have to disagree.

The movie is Inter City Crew, a British football hooligan firm, which is lead by Clive "Bex" Bissel, played by Gary Oldman, who is trying to unite the three main firms in England to create and lead a national firm for the European Championships. But the other two firms don't want to join together and if they didn't they didn't feel Bex was the man to lead them. But Bex did convince then to join but only if his firm beat their firms. So the rest of the movie is him and his firm preparing for battle.

Acting and writing is par for a TV movie and is nothing special even if Gary Oldman is staring in it.
Writing and sound isn't great but again it's a TV movie so not to surprising.

While I enjoyed the grittier more realistic feel I personally like the more stylized version of GSH.

Season One Review (Rant)

Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago on 9 July 2008 11:31 (A review of Black Lagoon)

A word of caution, this show probably isn't for you if you can't stand guns, coarse language, and general violence. So don't bother checking it out if you are queasy about that stuff or you know you will get offended.

Anyway, Rokura Okajima was just your normal boring white collar worker until he was kidnapped by the Lagoon Company. Blah, blah, blah, he realized his true calling in life and became a member of the Lagoon Company, a company that specializes in delivering goods across the seas of Southeast Asia, regardless of the law. You see pirates these days aren't dudes with peg legs and eye patches no, they are mofos who go around shooting people in a torpedo boat. Sounds like fun.


(Revy, with her two guns)

If you were to only watch the Opening and Ending credits one might get the false impression that it's all about Revy (pictured above) since both credit sequences are almost entirely devoted to her except for that random shot of the guys that's only on for a few seconds in the Opener. But that's just a trap to lure in (un)suspecting viewers in. Probably.

(the guys as seen seemingly randomly for a few seconds in the Opening credits)

And just to prove this show is really badass there are nuns with guns, crazy spanish maids with guns (aka killer robot maid from the future), and people with guns in general. I think the only person who doesn't actually use a gun was the Chinese lady who specialized with knives. There was an Irish(?) guy at some point but instead of getting drunk all the time he was always high so it might be inaccurate in that respect. And it also has Nazis, and not just normal Nazis but Neo-Nazis. Additionally it has appearances of just about every single major criminal organization, especially the Russians. Oh and terrorists.

If you get a chance to watch this with the English dub, please do since it's more insulting. The Japanese dub is okay but it just doesn't cut it for this type of show.

In real life, this stuff is rather frightening, even more so since there's a part of you that realizes that it probably is happening. But somehow this show portrays the life of the criminal underworld in a both glamorous and unglamorous way that is balanced such that it's entertaining. I mean everyone smokes like chimneys but this has no effect on their stamina and lots of this stuff is highly controversial, but anyway from what I've seen from the first season, this is a pretty intense show. Kinda like The Transporter meets Cowboy Bebop or something like that. Not really but eh...

(from left to right: Benny the Mechanic, Rock the ex-Businessman from Japan, Revy the Two Hands, and Dutch the Boss)

Now I can't wait for the second season which promises (vampire) child soldiers. Fun. Fun. Fun.

One Of My Favorites.

Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago on 9 July 2008 11:28 (A review of "Yes, Dear")

"Yes,Dear" is a genuinely great show with a great cast and excellent story. It revolves around a large family. Two in which being Middle aged brothers.The two sides of the family go through their everyday events trying to put up with each other, which is a very unique plot that is not often seen in shows nowadays. I laugh every time I see this show. The actors are put together perfectly, The lines are great, and never out of place, and I am never bored while watching it and That is a big plus. The story is very well done and cannot think of anything wrong with it. I would easily put this show to close to the top of my favorite shows list. I cannot think of any flaws in this series.

Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago on 9 July 2008 11:16 (A review of "Flavor of Love")

This show has it's hilarious moments and it's not so hilarious moments. It is about "New York". A woman looking for love with several guys in the mix. It is just your typical show where the main character has to find true love with a bunch of people to get to know and choose from. I think it is a very average show and can be very fun to watch. It does not compare to it's predecessors like "A Shot At Love" or "I Love Money", but it is worth watching.

Hilarious.

Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago on 9 July 2008 11:08 (A review of I Love Money)

This show is so fun to watch and hilarious at the same time. I just get a kick out of seeing the contestants say certain things to each other. They argue about certain ridiculous topics. the show is just extremely entertaining. The show contains contestants from other shows like "Flavor Of Love", and other shows. They are competing for $250,000 and go through several competitions to win the money. I just suggest watching this show due to it's comedy and because it is one of the most entertaining shows on television.

A Great Comedy/Drama Series.

Posted : 2 weeks, 2 days ago on 9 July 2008 10:57 (A review of "Rescue Me")

"Rescue Me" is a very well made, great television show. It took awhile for me to get used to, but after a full episode I was hooked. It is about a guy named Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary), and his very eventful life, friends, and family. I think he is great for the main role. This is one of the most entertaining shows on television. The drama is great, and the comedy is perfectly timed and hilarious. If you haven't seen this television show, then I suggest you do.
