The Life aka Yo Puta aka Whore (2004) Movie Review
One of the most confusing things about “The Life,” a film fraught with confusion, is what to call it. Upon theatrical release it was called “Yo Puta,” presumably because the film is based on a novel of the same name. Between then and the recent DVD release, a decision was made to market it overseas [...]

As a caveat, let me say that I haven’t seen any of Michael Moore’s documentaries, for two simple reasons: one) high school has taught me to rebel against peer pressure, and the overwhelming peer pressure to agree with everything Moore says by his legion of sycophants is intolerable; two) I have no interest in documentaries. [...]

Want to know if you’ll be interested in “Trekkies 2″? Here’s a question: Did you like the first “Trekkies”? If so, then you’ll be happy with the sequel, which is more of the same. Besides letting the world know that Brazilians, Germans, and French people are just as wacky as their American counterparts, Denise Crosby [...]

Here’s the thing: Trekkies (or Trekkers, as some of them likes to be called) freaks me out. I’ve seen every episode of “Star Trek: Voyager”, but I’ve never, ever entertained the thought of wearing Vulcan ears or dressing up as Chakotay (or Captain Janeway for some of you guys out there, ahem). And the reason [...]

Fast food is not good for you, so stop eating it.
Of course saying it is easier than doing it. As documentarian Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me” shows, America has been programmed to eat fast food — in particular, by uber company McDonalds, which far surpasses just about everyone in sheer number of franchises and advertising [...]
Blue Collar Comedy Tour (2003) Movie Review
The Stand-up Movie genre started, I believe, in the late ’70s and early ’80s with comedians like Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosby, and Richard Pryor. Or at least the genre didn’t become popular until those three guys did it. I’m not entirely sure why the idea of a Stand-up Movie where a comedian basically gets up [...]

The best “character” in the documentary “Comedian”, which follows TV star and gazillionaire Jerry Seinfeld as he returns to the comedy circuit with all-new material, is not Seinfeld himself, but an unknown comedian name Orny Adams. At 29 years old, Adams is already starting to stress about “not making it” and relentlessly wonders out loud [...]

You’ve got to give the guys of “Jackass the Movie” credit for one thing (even if you don’t give them credit for anything else), and that’s their total commitment to making complete fools of themselves. That, and the fact that they’re willing to suffer through bodily injury of every kind imaginable (from alligator bites to [...]

Scott Gill’s “Porn Star” is a documentary chronicling the existence of Ron Jeremy, the most un-porn star-like man on the face of the planet. Born Ron Hyatt, the man that would become the most recognizable porn actor in the world is too fat, too short, and too hairy to be mistaken for a porn stud, [...]

Mark Borchardt, the 30-year old Midwesterner / aspiring filmmaker at the heart of the documentary “American Movie,” is what they call dedicated. By all accounts (and this is substantiated after viewing his short film “Coven”, which he spent 3 years making) the man has little to no talent for the craft. Is it stupidity, insanity, [...]
