Mr. Show - The Complete Third Season
Released in DVD by HBO (26 August, 2003)
Who knew that the "Ratings Man," repository of all records concerning television viewership, is actually Santa Claus? Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, stars of the frequently inspired sketch-comedy program Mr. Show, did, and they've got an absurdist skit to prove it on this DVD collection.
Culled from Bob and David's 1997 appearances on HBO, The Complete Third Season includes the wonderful "Hail Satan Network" (a "Praise the Lord" for devil-worshippers), bogus movie-of-the-week "The Bob Lamonta Story" (about an athlete with retarded parents), a Beatles parody ("The Fad 3"), and the hilarious "Hunger Strike" (in which a starving, Gandhi-esque leader wishes to be buried in mashed potatoes). Cross proves a superior performer who salvages several underdeveloped bits, while Odenkirk demonstrates fierce gifts as a mimic. (His puerile, Strom Thurmond-like senator is right on the money.) Don't miss the "Fantastic Newness" special feature, which includes brilliant highlights from Mr. Show's first season. --Tom Keogh
Average review score: 
Flawless, smart and utterly hilarious sketch-comedyMr. Show is an innovative, intelligent, and utterly hilarious sketch-comedy show that has gone unsurpassed since it first aired on HBO. The only series to rival the legendary Flying Circus, Mr. Show delivers perfectly timed humor mixed with subtle social commentary. Led by David Cross and Bob Odenkirk, this wonderfully talented cast of character actors provide hours of entertainment. Twisted and wicked, clever and outrageous, smart and always incredibly funny, this is a must have for anyone who appreciates comedy.
Mr. PIPIf you loved Mr. show the first and second season then I really don't have to tell you anything about the 3rd season now do I? You're going to love it and I don't care if you don't like my review.
Not as good as crack, but still a worthy effortHave you ever been stoned? Really really high?
So high you'll laugh at anything -- including someone beating the living snot out of you grandpa, grandma and Auntie June? Yes, Auntie June!
But than you discover like a week later while visiting them in the ICU at the hospital that you really weren't on drugs, but just some sick and twisted freak with a sick and twisted sense of humor?
Well, if these questions were all yes answers than don't buy this DVD because it will only reinforce your already troubling dementia.
And for christ sakes could you please call mom at home and tell her where you buried dad?!?
You do realize that he's not dead, right?!?!

Mr. Show - The Complete First and Second Seasons
Released in DVD by HBO Home Video (04 June, 2002)
Hey, everybody, it's Bob and David on DVD! In 1995 comics Bob Odenkirk and David Cross were simply "two people you've never seen before." Since then, each has insidiously entered the mainstream with appearances on TV (Just Shoot Me, The Drew Carey Show) and movies (Scary Movie 2, Dr. Dolittle 2, Men in Black 2). But to quote Odenkirk's bio (which is included on the first disc), Mr. Show is the thing you should see if you want to check them out. Like the late, lamented The Ben Stiller Show, on which both toiled, and Monty Python before that, this midnight-hour HBO series gave a subversive twist to the traditional sketch comedy series. Classic characters include Cross's white-trash poster boy Ronnie Dobbs, the superstar arrestee on a "Cops"-like TV show. Totally out of left field is an infomercial for an instructional video series by "Van Hammersly, Champion Billiard Player," who at one point re-creates the 1974 Kentucky Derby with billiard balls (one of the equines is named "If Mandy Patinkin Was a Horse"). Punch lines? Mr. Show doesn't need no stinking punch lines, as one sketch flows into another.
Bob and David are ably supported by, among others, Second City veteran Jill Talley, Tom Kenny (the voice of Spongebob Squarepants!), Brian Posehn (the creepy guy on Just Shoot Me), Mary-Lynn Rajskub (from The Larry Sanders Show), Sarah Silverman ("Greg the Bunny"), and a pre-Saturday Night Live Jerry Minor, who enlivens one episode commentary with an impeccable Billy Dee Williams imitation. As with the Velvet Underground’s following, Mr. Show fans make up with fervor what they lack in numbers. According to Mr. Show’s own Web site, "non-fans outnumber our fans by the cajillions," but this essential set should change that. --Donald Liebenson
Average review score:
Kids in the Hall/Monty Python it is notThe first season of Mr. Show is absolutely painful to watch. Without any of the brilliance but in the style of Monty Python, poorly drawn sketches are fumbled through in a manner reminiscent of a college theater production. The ideas are not terrible, but the execution is abominable and the writing is half-baked.
The second season is far superior to the first, but remains just lukewarm.
See the title of this review.
Thank goodness for HBOThis is the kind of stuff that renews your faith in the fact that there are people are there capable of making great television. Laugh-out-loud funny for hours and hours!
Mr Show is by far one of the best HBO programs around.I am still angry the show was not able to continue to grow, but this DVD will hopefully indicate to the HBO execs that maybe people actually DID like the damn show.

Average review score: 
Sound track is better than movie!The movie is OK but it is carried by the sound track. Some cool new bands like Jonasay and Bottle of Justus. May be better to buy that instead!
Very cool flick, glad I got it.Very cool flick. Similar to American Pie yes, however, in it I found a killer soundtrack by bands I had never heard of and a cool story. The only thing I had a hard time with was the character who was basically meant to be a Jack Black clone. NOT POSSIBLE! Jack Black Rules!! Overall, the flick is a 4/5 worth the dough, good show.
I loved it. And not just because Milo starred in it!The main group of characters had great chemistry. It was one of those groups where, even if they had a sucky time making the movie, it certainly didn't look like it on screen. It looked like they had a lot of fun.
This movie was very good, and very funny. It was a little cheesy at times, but what good movie isn't? It was kinda like American Pie, with snow and Milo. I mean... you can't go wrong! And no one molests baked goods, either! It's great stuff!

The Hot Chick
Released in DVD by Buena Vista Home Vid (13 May, 2003)
Starring: Rob Schneider, Anna Faris, and Rachel McAdams
It's no surprise that The Hot Chick is stupid; what's remarkable is the ambition of its stupidity. After a hokey, Mummy-like prologue to establish the body-switching spell cast by an ancient pair of Abyssinian earrings, the low-concept lunacy begins when those earrings are divided, eons later, between a cruel-minded high school campus queen (Rachel McAdams) and a small-time crook (Rob Schneider), who switch bodies (externally he's the hot chick, and she's the vulgar sleazeball) and must cope with the consequences of their sudden gender crisis. This tired idea may seem fresh and funny to eight-year-olds and morons, but Schneider and first-time director Tom Brady (who wrote Schneider's The Animal) fail to fulfill the potential of their ripe comedic premise. McAdams plays a guy better than Schneider plays a girl (which explains her limited screen time), and the expected jokes (mostly involving urinals and awkward prom dates) are sluggishly uninspired. In a cameo role as a dreadlocked stoner, coproducer Adam Sandler offers only brief comedic respite. --Jeff Shannon
Average review score:
Funny... if you're still in Junior HighIt's official! The days of 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Billy Madison' are over. After seeing 'Little Nicky' a few years back, I prayed to the movie gods that it was just a fluke. But after suffering through 104 minutes of school-age jokes and tired sexual inuendo, I have lost hope in seeing anything from these producers that doesn't insult my intelligence. To be fair, some folks will like this movie. Sadly, I'm not one of them.
Great Fun Great FunIt was one of Rob Schnieders best moives. I had my doubts but it was surprisingly good. Anna Faris was a good idea for this movie. SHe had all the goofyness and air-headedness that no one else could have ever done in the part of April, which she played wonderfully!
Jessica and April are populare Cheerleaders and think that they control the world and Jessica steals a pair of ear rings that switch bodies for the 2 people that wear them. And she switiches bodies with Rob, who is a thief. And she ( he ) wakes up the next morning with an umm man hood. And tries to escape and tells April what happened and April wants to see her umm hood, throughout the whole movie as they try to find who might have done this to Jessica and they suspect a science nerd and a witch-wannabe and they end up in a club tearing shirts off cheerleaders and Rob tries to pee wit his hood and watches other men do it and say they do it well...some what of a disturbing movie, with cracks on gayness ( april develops feelings for Jessica in her male form ) and it ends up they find Jessicas body in a Strip club and so the story goes...
It really doens't have much taste but it is better than any other of Robs movies except for Duece Bigalo Male Gigalo, which I loved!!!! But this was good but long with the 105 minute mark! But I recommend this to a lot of people, unless you want no fun in your life or are an Ex marine or something along those lines...But it was a funny, sweet, off the wall movie that anyone could enjoy....well almost anyone....

EverythingThis movie has everything!
It focuses mostly on the lives (hint: romance, girls love this stuff) of teens, but with a comedic approach that will be funny to guys and girls; even if they're not into teen movies. Rob Schneider being in the movie (and it being a Happy Madison production)gives it an appeal to older guys, as well.
Silly? Yes. But still funny? Definitely.
Ignore the editorial review that says this movie will only appeal to 8 year olds who haven't heard all the gender jokes yet. Just watch the movie and judge for yourself.

Lovers Lane
Released in DVD by First Look Pictures (22 July, 2003)
Average review score:
Old School SlasherWelcome back to the early eighties as "Lover's Lane" revisits the time when low budget slashers were all the rage. The film tells the story of a deranged, hook-handed maniac who escapes the asylum on the anniversary of his previous massacre to kill again. Intro the whacky teens who decide to party near the scene of the original massacre and you can guess the rest. "Lover's Lane" is an enjoyable romp into familiar horror territory and boasts good performances by the young cast as well as an appearance by Richard Sanders from WKRP fame. The film is not high on bloody gore but there are plenty of victims and chase style suspense sequences to ensure a fun time will be had by all. Gotta like that out of control ending as well. The only complaint is that the DVD's lone extra is the theatical trailer, a director commentary would have been a welcome addition. In all, "Lover's Lane" should be of interest to fans of eighties slashers.
Hooked on SexFast pacing and fine acting make this low budget version of the classic campfire tale of "the Hook" really worth a look. What appears to be a straight forward story of hormonally charged teenagers attacked by a maniac at their make out spot is actually a richly textured morality tale riddled with undertones of incest, betrayal and infidelity. The subtle allusions to TV and movie classics of the past are fun to look for and hard to spot. Like a lot of films in this genre, half the fun is guessing who the killer is and this film really throws in several great twists. Lovers Lane was also instrumental in making the careers of several of the actors involved, like Anna Faris who went on to star in "Scary Movie I & II", as well as Billy O'Sullivan who was then cast in "Wakin Up In Reno" with Billy Bob Thornton and Charlize Theron. There's also some great music including a track by rising R&B singer Colin Peacock. So what if it doesn't have some of the glossy effects of Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer - this movie makes up for it on guts and raw energy. Definitely something that should be on a collectors shelves if for no other reason that to see the "first" movie of some future stars.
Seduced - Pretty When You Cry
Released in DVD by Umvd (06 May, 2003)
Average review score:
surpisingly fun and decent movieman meets women, woman has abusive and cruel husband but does that stop our hero from falling for woman? i dont think so. so ensues a love triangle that has you guessing what will happen next during the entire film. outstanding performances all around but jamie kennedy brings to life the hero of our tale, coming across as both sensitive and yet not to weak or sappy as to be pushed over although he does get manipulated thru the movie.
and if this were my situation, i might do the same things because the lady of the movie is sara, played by carlton elizabeth. she is intoxicating. there is a scene in which she takes our hero to the dance floor. without doing anything explicit at that moment she still managed to knock me off my feet. wounded, lost, trapped in bad situation but not sure she wants to leave are just a few of the emotions sara threw off.
all in all a fun movie, not an emmy but still good fun with a great cast and a fine story full of sex, deceipt, murder and a search for the truth

Oooh Jamie Kennedy show your sexy side..I have a short list of actors who make me raise a brow, and make me blush once or twice. Jamie Kennedy is one of them, and once you see this film you will understand why. Most of us know Jamie as the goofy Randy from Scream, or being an hysterical goofball on his TV show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment, but once you've seen Jamie serious, you'll have a new respect for him as an actor. I don't just mean the roles like in Boiler Room, Three Kings, and Enemy of the State, I mean a real leading man's role..and that's what we get here!
Jamie Kennedy plays Albert Straka, a good man yet naive when it comes to the manipulation going on around him. Kennedy has a sensitivity to him that I find rare in actors. Leonardo DiCaprio and Giovanni Ribisi (oddly enough Kennedy has worked with both - Romeo and Juliet, and Boiler Room) also have this soft gentle style to their craft, yet Kennedy has proven to me with this role, that he is the best at it. :) He brings an innocence to this role that could have been missed if it were played by another actor. The story needed a sensitive, caring, man - yet with an inner strength that did not bore us, or make us lose interest in his well being. Kennedy makes us love Albert, and in the end, makes us pity him.

Albert meets and falls in love with a beautiful woman, Sara played by Carlton Elizabeth. Her husband played by Michael Cavalieri, is an abusive, cruel man, and this is where the triangle begins. On one side you have the sensitive loving gentleman, and on the other, the cruel, savage husband. In the middle we have Sara, pleading for Albert to save her, yet in this story we ask ourselves..does she really want to be saved?
This film had my interest from beginning to end, much of it due to Jamie Kennedy's performance. I found myself physically exhausted, and emotionally drained after watching this film. I so desperately felt for Albert. A good performance from Sam Elliot who plays Detective Black, who when things turn nasty, is determined to pin the crime on Albert.
Bravo to Jamie Kennedy! A wonderful performance from a talented actor, and a verrry sexy man!
I am making this a little vague on purpose. No spoilers here. Only this; Love, sex, murder, addiction..a good film to watch, a great film to own!!

Average review score:
Made me vomitIt really did. Here's how it went down.
I watch the movie and i'm touched by the portrayal of the introverted chick, she's fleshed out and completely credible, worthy of empathy. I had no bloody idea what the movie was doing, i was just rooting for the chick, i hope she made good, i knew so many chicks like her.
Then all of a sudden it turns surreal and the part that the actors couldnt salvage comes up. I can picture an alternate universe where this was a quirky little independant movie with a happy ending that made good. Watching this immediately after amelie may induce suicide.
But i digress, on to spoiling the movie. The lovable introverted chick, on the verge of true love and being able to have a happy life, flips out and everything turns awful. I was dismayed to see this, parts hit too close to home and a few suicidal ex-girlfriends. But when she gouged out her eye, i just puked. Really and truly kids.
Now i'm 18m and not at all easily rattled, and i cant remember the time i barfed before that.
May be horribleHorrible, just horrible. I rented this because it was mentioned in the same sentence as "Donnie Darko." What a disappointment. The characters actions/reactions make little sense and the actors obviously have a hard time with the material. May is so over-the-top with her dysfunction that she seems to have all the social skills of a 3-year-old. It made no sense for this fella to even get as far with her as he did.
The nympho/lesbian co-worker provides a semi-humorous thread, but again, it is so over-the-top that it is just campy. I won't "spoil" the ending, but I will just say that it is ludicrous. The problem with over the top, for me, is that it then takes the movie out of the realm of "reality" and thus is not scary or creepy because I am no longer taking it seriously. This movie may have had tongue firmly in cheek, but regardless, just came off as very poorly executed.

May be the best movie I have seen in a long time!!!I really enjoyed this movie, and I am glad I watched it. I enjoy most unusal and strange films. These kinds of movies are the kind that keep you intriged and wondering whats gonna happen next. If you only like mainstream movies then maybe this isn't your type of movie. But if you like unusual films give this one a try.
Out of Season

Average review score: 
Poor transferThe DVD only has two chapters. One takes up about a minute, the rest consists of the entire film.
Average film - poor DVD productionGo by the other reviews, but be warned - whoever put this on DVD was especially lazy. There is just 2 chapters, one of about 1 minute, the rest the entire film!
I found this out only when I was about forty minutes into the film wanted to fast forward a chapter and ended back at the title page! I was majorly annoyed!
Touching dramaI was a little skeptical because I'd never heard of any of the actors in this movie but I'm glad I gave it a chance. This is an offbeat drama that offers many funny and touching moments. The story is a little slow but and easy to follow. The scenery on the Jersey Shore is beautiful and creates a peaceful mood for this love story. Dennis Fecteau gives a touching performance as Micki's terminally ill uncle. This is one the better lesbian films I have seen in a while.
Scary Movie
Released in Theatrical Release by (07 July, 2000)
Starring: Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Jon Abrahams, and Carmen Electra
If you've seen Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, then you know the entire plot of Scary Movie. That's okay, though, because this is a parody, and it helps to know the story in order to be able to get the jokes. No, the biggest surprise here is not the story as much as the amount of full-frontal male nudity. Really, in addition to all the dick jokes (and the ass jokes and fart jokes), there's a couple of shots of the male member, one of which is erect and used as a weapon. Scary Movie somehow ended up with an R rating, which in a sense is groundbreaking; perhaps our ratings board is loosening up after all.
But is it funny? That's the most important question, and the answer to that is yes. In the vein of Airplane!, with a dash of the Farrelly brothers, Scary Movie keeps throwing jokes at you one after another. The law of averages says some of them have to hit, and enough of them do to keep the movie entertaining. Unlike the makers of Airplane!, however, the Wayans brothers aren't making this movie out of a love of the genre, and unlike the Farrelly brothers, they don't make fun of retarded people with any sort of respect, so the humor throughout feels a lot uglier. Still, there are enough funny scenes in Scary Movie to make the viewing experience worthwhile. Special credit must go to Lochlyn Munro as Greg, the over-the-top jock, who steals the movie up until the time he's gotta die.--Andy Spletzer
Average review score:
Waste of film!Vulgar, stupid, not funny, and lot of toilet humor. Overall: GARBAGE.
whats up with thisits on the same level as the 3rd one and both are a notch better then the second one. filled with the same jokes in 2 and 3. starring Marlon Wayans, Anna Farris, Jon Abrahams, Shannon Elizabeth, Carmen Electra, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hall and Lochlyn Munro. the best bit would have to be when the guy in the ghost makes raps and when Marlon Wayans gets shot and starts smoking himself. for hardcore fans only
I HATE TO ADMIT IT, BUT THIS IS A FUNNY FUNNY MOVIE!When "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" hit the screens, we were given some of the funniest, off the wall visual and verbal gags to ever hit the screen. Then along comes SCARY MOVIE. While Airplane and Naked Gun settled for a more sexual-innuendo kind of humor, SCARY MOVIE pulls no punches in its excessive use of sexual activities and bodily emissions. Poor taste, probably...but they are funny. But even with these, there are some other brutally hysterical scenes. Not all the jokes hit, but they don't miss too often. Lochlyn Munro steals the movie as the buff Greg. Whether it's when he's screaming around in the locker room because of his organ's size, or when he's beating up and drop kicking Cindy (Anna Faris), he is one energetic manic character. Too bad he gets killed off too early, but even then Shannon Elizabeth's dramatic reading at a beauty pageant is another one of those hilarious scenes where you find yourself holding your side in explosive laughter. Shawn Wayans gay football player is also hilarious; Sheri Oteri as Gail Hailstorm is brilliant, and one can't help but admire Ms. Faris for keeping a straight face in her sexual encounter scene with Jon Abrahams. Also her Exorcist ripoff is totally side-splitting.
I haven't scene the sequels yet, but if the Wayans boys can maintain this kind of frenetic albeit crude pace, I am sure I'll find them entertaining.
PS I started out my childhood loving the Three Stooges!!! So, what do you expect?
