RV (2006)

No more NetFlix for you!

[1/10 · 26 December 2006]

The only reason we saw this movie is because my wife Lisa put it on our NetFlix list and I wasn't quick enough to catch it before it shipped. This movie was pretty bad! There was only one good line in the entire film! The Army should use this film at Abu Ghraib.

I think Kristin Chenoweth is very beautiful and very talented, yet she seems not to be able to find the best vehicle to show off those talents. And Robin, what the heck was he thinking? Or did they switch scripts with him by the time filming rolled around? And who thought that ending was a good idea?

By the way, I've revoked my wife's NetFlix privilege for a month!

Dave Chappelle: For What It's Worth (2004 TV Special)

Another great show!

[9/10 · 20 September 2005]

I think his previous show was better, but this one was great, too. He has a strange way of looking at life, yet can bring it to a very REAL point at the end that makes you go, "Yeah!" But you have to follow each routine to the end to get the points he astutely makes. He draws a portrait of what he wants you to see very well, so each detail is very important for you to follow. I've probably watched the previous show a couple of hundred times and I seem to pick up on a different point every viewing. It has become one of my favorite party DVDs. Everyone loves it! And I'll be buying this DVD just like I did the first one. In this show, one routine seemed a little sick as it began. But by the end of it, I said out loud "Yeah, that's right!" Maybe you just have to have a taste for his brand of comedy.
