The Eric Andre Show (2012– )

12 minutes of at Least a few big laughs

[9/10 · 14 December 2013]

Eric's show is different and does a lot of out of the norm thing that end up giving the viewer a big laugh.In just 12 minutes you can expect at least 3 big big laughs. I normally watch them 5-6 at a time on the DVR when I'm in the mood. I love the destruction of the set and the shock value he does to his guests. The Maria Menounos episode was perfect " Pick a person" and when she finally picks a person, that person is immediately shot. Pure Genius! I love the band and Hannibal who is always funny. Everyone welcome James Van Der Beek, cut to a shot of the guest band leader vomiting, how could anyone not understand the genius of this show? I hope he keeps this show or gets a bigger one.

Grown Ups (I) (2010)

Worst of the Worst *Contains minor Spoilers for crappy movie*

[2/10 · 4 April 2012]

I am a huge Sandler, Rock, Spade, Hayek, Buscemi and I even like some Rob Schneider stuff but this movie made me laugh exactly ZERO times. I actually find it offensive in many scenes like the "sexy man" at the water park, the ladies ogle him and then when he speaks they laugh in his face. What was that? Then the 3 daughters with the third one not being an incredibly hot supermodel like the first two, why diminish someone based on looks? This movie is what is wrong with movies nowadays. I remember them promoting this movie on Howard Stern and they claimed it "was this summer's The Hangover". WOW were they off! The movie was vapid, childish and unnecessarily stupid but the worst part was that absolutely none of it was funny unless you find cruelty hilarious. This was no Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, or Big Daddy, this is the worst movie Adam Sandler has ever put out. I saw rumors they are making a SEQUEL! Tip for viewers of the sequel, if they start the movie in a funeral and they make incredibly stupid cruel "jokes", just get up and demand your money back. Save yourself the rest of the time you'll waste on this movie.

Big Stan (2007)

Shockingly Funny.

[10/10 · 26 November 2011]

This is easily Rob Schneider's best effort and it's beyond belief that this movie was never released in theaters especially since it was ready for release at about the same time as that terrible Adam Sandler "Grown Ups" movie.This is one of those movies you can watch over and over and find new things that you missed because you were laughing. This movie takes into consideration all the fears that most men have about going to prison and is one of my few 10 out of 10 ratings. Spectacular movie. I hope he makes more outside the Sandler world. I think the more people that see this movie the more popular it will become. I loved seeing David Carradine playing a super bad-ass again and it only makes you miss him even more now that he's gone.

Prison Break: The Final Break (2009 Video)

A Great couple of Episodes made into a movie

[2/10 · 30 March 2011]

I was surprised when I saw this movie available on eBay, I didn't know of it's existence so I hurriedly awaited this gap filling movie between the last episode and the final 3 minutes of the last episode. I have 2 major complaints about the movie, the first is a major hole in the story. Sarah is arrested for killing Christina Scofield but her name isn't listed as Scofield so the police arrest her for murdering a respected business woman. The arrest would be covered under the immunity portion of handing over Scylla and also a simple blood test would prove that Christina was Christina Scofield, this could have been handled in 1 hour at the police station. Movie over, Sarah free. Second complaint is one of casting, Lori Petty???? that was a horrid choice to play the main adversary in prison. She cannot act and her pathetic overly played character was a major distraction. I spent most of her scenes saying" wow does she suck", did none of these people in casting ever see one of her previous movies where she annoys the bejezzus out of you every time she opens her mouth? I mean damn, watch A League of their own and see that Madonna is 100 times less annoying than Lori Petty, now that's a major feat.

All in all, it was a good movie/2 episodes slapped together. I wish they would have made a 5th season and this could have been a 14 episode arc and then show each character happily ever after and finally Michael die after his kid is born instead of how he did in this movie. I still hate that they killed him in the first place.

This movie is a must see for all fans of the series. It adds to the story but not enough, I personally would likes to have seen Mahone hook up with the hot black bald chick in this movie and maybe Gretchen get out and see her kid but it was still a good addition to the series.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! (2003– )

Great Show

[10/10 · 17 June 2005]

His monologue is funny, he shows funny clips from current TV shows or World Events and he does a pleasant job of interviewing. Early on, he was given week-long co-hosts which I found a fun addition but they dropped the co-host and made him stand up for his monologue and the show does seem better although I miss Co-Hosts like David Cross, Snoop Dogg, Kathie Lee, Mike Tyson and Janeane Garofalo. His best guests have been Clay Aiken, Dane Cook(Hey Kool-Aid!), Wolf Blitzer(with Kimmel's father impersonating Wolf), Quentin Tarentino, Mike Tyson.... The show has the feel of Early Letterman with a slight edge. The Jake Byrd bits are always entertaining with Tony Barbieri playing an insane(but typical) Michael Jackson fanatic. His Cousin Sal hidden camera pranks are funny and the FCC This Week in Unnecessary Censorship is one of the funniest things on TV in the last 30 years. He has a running feud with the cast of The View and it's been very enjoyable watching him rip on Tons-O-Fun Starr Jones. Uncle Frank does an OK job and is sometimes funny on Red Carpet or Street interviews. Uncle Frank is clueless, it's funny for a little while but get's old and annoying. Geuermo's(sp) Hollywood Roundup is a little boring but the show is still one of the best late night shows. I wish he'd bring that hot hot hot girlfriend(Sarah Silverman)of his on the show more, she is one beautiful yenta. If he set out to best Leno, he could have done that with a pig farting on a snare drum because Leno is just weak unfunny and sad. Jimmy Kimmel Live rivals Letterman in the overall quality of show. Hopefully he will stay on long enough for the rest of the United States to smell what Jimmy Kimmel is cooking.
