This show is so funny. Jamie Kennedy is genius. I am a Jamie Kennedy, so I started to watch this show the first time it aired, and have been watching it ever since. I didn't want to write a summary about it until the season ended, just in case some episodes were good and other weren't. Now the first seasons is over, and I can tell you that all the episodes are great.
I think he is best as the judge. After each episode, you keep wanting more. It's like a tease, how it's only 30 minutes; but the whole 30 minutes are filled with laughter.
If you haven't watched this show, you are missing out. Way better than Tom Green, way better than Jackass, not as explicit as CKY but just (if not more) funny.

The Legend of Zelda (VG)
I read somewhere in a magazine that "The Legend Of Zelda (1986)" is one of the greatest video-games of all-time. I wouldn't be shocked if it was the greatest. It is certainly my favorite video-game. I have played thousands of video-games, and this easily tops them all. Old games and new. This game has no genre of the tops, it tops all of the genres.
I remember crying when I was seven years old because my kid brother (who was about 3) deleted my Link. As I look back on that moment, to this day, it still seems logical to cry, because as a little boy, I put a lot of work into getting where I was. I think anybody, old and young, puts a lot of work into "The Legend Of Zelda (1986)". You spend so much time playing this game, and the game grows on you more and more. This game kind of becomes a part of your life. A classic never dies, my friend; and neither does a legend. :) It took me over five years to beat both of the quests together, while at the same time I was using Game Genie and a Walkthrough for some of it. This game is for the PROS ONLY! The score is unforgettable; I love the music so much. There is not one thing wrong with this game. I find it very shocking that they could've fit all this data into a NES game. 10/10. I don't think I'll ever see a video game, that tops this one.

"Big Brother" (Seasons 2 & 3)
I love this show. It's a real treat! It doesn't make you wait a whole week to see the upcoming episode, it's on three times a week! Now, maybe BB1 was terrible, but give BB2 a chance. BB2 is very fun to watch. BB2 truely shows how: people can break down when there surrounded by one person 24/7, for at least a week; what people will do for money; and how much people change from the start to the end. It is a very interesting show. I admit, I didn't have an interest in the first Big Brother, but the second one is just awesome. CAUTION: Don't watch the show unless you start watching when the season first starts, because you won't know what's going on, and you'll hate it.

A Clockwork Orange
Very bizarre film. Stanley Kubrick is great. Although, I wish he would've made the film a little longer, put more Russian into the language, and told us what happened to Pete (even though it says that in the novel). But, hey, maybe it would've ruined the movie, I don't know.It is very hard to write a review on this one because there's no way to describe the plot. There certainly is a plot though. Just make sure to open your mind, and pay close attention
Cannibal Holocaust
If you decided to read my review, you are probably already interested enough to know what this film is about.The plot is truly original. Actually, everything about this movie is great. But, one thing completely stands out in the movie…The score. The score was composed by Riz Ortolani. Everything about the soundtrack is beautiful. It goes from being very haunting, to emotional and sad, or simply just beautiful. Fits in with the movie all the way. The Main Theme is one of the best songs ever (probably would've been a hit if Cannibal Holocaust wasn't so feared).
I saw this movie about two months ago and decided to write a review about it now because I was speechless back when I just viewed it; and I still don't have much to say. Simply, it's a great movie. If you have the chance to get your paws on this movie, grab it. Watch With Caution: This Film Is Very Violent, But Is Something Anybody Will Be Able To Sit Through.
One question I have is, what happened to all the actors. They only played in a couple of films besides this. They were terrific. Also, does anybody have guitar tabs the "Cannibal Holocaust (Main Theme)"? Once again, I love that song. If you can answer one of my two questions, please e-mail me. Thank you.

Dracula
This movie is unnecessarily long. No, it's not a three hour film, but it didn't have to be as long as it was. It just kept going on and on. At least `Nosferatu (1922)' made it's point and was done. This film had every little detail, and kept going on.Gary Oldman was a terrible Dracula. They could've at least made him look like Count Orlock rather than a stylish character. Or, if they wanted a stylistic character, than they could've casted a better actor, that wasn't so ugly. Maybe more of a nice face. It just seemed too weird that a guy as ugly as Gary Oldman, could get with a hot woman like Winona Ryder. But it wasn't just his looks, he was too old also. If you want to see a good Dracula movie, see Nosferatu.
On the upside, the casting and acting was great; besides Gary Oldman. It really respected it's story, and made it one of a kind. Although I had a lot of disappointments, I still think this film deserves a 7/10. I am being very harsh on this movie, since it's a remake, but I suggest you go out and rent it and judge it for yourself. Trust me, it is certainly not a waste of money. This is a movie that'll give one another various opinions. Watch it.

Men Behind the Sun
It's not worth it. Big disappointment. As I did, you probably are familiar with the title "Men Behind The Sun" because of it's violence; you heard this was a very violent movie. But, it's not even that violent. Anybody will be able to sit through this.I was very p***** after viewing this film. Mainly because a lot of people who wrote reviews about this very film at IMDb said it was so violent.
Bulls**t. There is not very much violence to this film. That's probably why I didn't like it is because some stupid people built it up and over-rated it.
**SPOILER AHEAD**
(CH) -- Cold-hearted; Not violent at all, but just the idea that it actually happens will stay with you forever. (M) -- Mild violence. R-rated movie violence. (MED) -- Medium violence. Violence that about anybody will still be able to handle. (D) -- Most disturbing.
The only violent scene in this 90 minute film are:
- Cold-hearted soldier buries an infant in the snow. (CH) - A woman getting her hands dismembered; by freezing them, and then putting them in hot water, which leaves them melted. Then scientist rips off the skin, and we see the bones. (M) - Soldiers tie prisoners to a cross, and blow them up, but to the point where there still alive, to see what it's like. (M) - A man is put in a pressure-chamber, and his intestines come out of his body. (D) - A pigeon, a woman and her daughter and put in a gas-chamber. (CH) - Autopsy on live child, the mute-child actually. (MED) - The famous cat/rat scene. (D)
**SPOILER ENDED**
All those violent scenes combine, consists of about 10 minutes, if that. So the rest of this film is just bulls**t about trying to create a plague, and young soldiers who are against the experiments or something; I don't really know, it was a poorly made film. The directing was poor, and the acting wasn't that great either.
First off, there are no credits, so the director doesn't give anybody any credit for the film. Second, the violence is unnecessary for the film. Killing a real cat, and doing a real autopsy, etc. was completely unnecessary. Yet, one could argue that that was the point, to make us feel p***ed, so we'd know how offensive this event was. But that's what really p****s me off, because it was like they were trying to get to the point that it was worse than the holocaust; or at least that's how I felt. And it wasn't even close.
Sure, the events that occurred here, at Unit 731 were terrible, but it was no big event. The unit was closed down.
And third. The cat and rat scene was so inappropriate. It has nothing to do with the film. Plus, killing a live animal is just wrong. Now, I know Cannibal Holocaust, one of my favorite movies, had a bunch of real animal deaths in it. But the animals that died in Cannibal Holocaust died in less than two seconds. The poor cat took about three minutes to die. It was just wrong. Most unnecessary thing I've ever seen.
So, in conclusion, it was a very crappy war film. Wasn't tragic at all, nothing compared to the holocaust, and the violence was terrible. If you wanted to see this movie because you're a big war-film fanatic, don't waste your time, it sucks. If you wanted to see this movie because you heard that it was really violent, don't waste your time, because it's not even violent at all. I realized why this film is so hard to find, because nobody probably wants to see it. It sucks. If you're looking for a violent movie, see Cannibal Holocaust. That's a gem. Good plot and good violence, which Men Behind The Sun didn't have.

Natural Born Killers
This film is about a couple, Mickey Nox (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory Wilson-Nox (Juliette Lewis) who are a serial killer couple. They go around killing people, get caught and locked up, and try to escape. That's basically the plot (escaping from jail).I rented `Natural Born Killers (NBK)' because it looked interesting; Great cast (Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Sizemore, and Tommy Lee Jones), catchy title, and because I wanted to see how Harrison could play a cold-hearted killer.
I go home, watch it. I end up being disgusted. I'm not disappointed, because I wasn't expecting a classic out of this one, but very disgusted. This film gross, and cold-hearted.
I feel that Oliver Stone tried to make Mickey convince people that killing wasn't that evil; And after how many people Mickey and Mallory killed, I just stopped caring about them. No pity, man. Lewis isn't that pretty, and they tried to make her like a babe who kills people; And Harrelson's character cheated on Mallory by raping one of his victims. It's pure scum. I didn't care what would've happened. Maybe if Quentin Tarantino directed it, it would've been a whole lot better.
Don't see this film, unless your a cult-film fanatic.

Sparkler
This film is about a middle aged woman, Melba May (Park Overall,) who has big dreams, but is going nowhere. She lives in a trailer, in Nevada, with her husband Flint (Don Harvey.) One night Melba catches Flint with another woman, and leaves him. She decides to go to Vegas to meet up with an old friend from high school, Dottie Delgato (Veronica Cartwright,) who's dreams went where she wanted them. But when Melba finds her, she finds out Dottie's dreams only lasted temporarily.Back at home, Flint gets a knock on his door, finding out that Melba just won a million dollars. But only Melba can expect it. So Flint goes off to find her, basically to kidnap her, so he can keep the money himself. It was only possible for Melba to get to Vegas by three young agents from Hollywood, off to Vegas to make money. This movie is an okay movie. I'd give it a 7/10, only because I didn't expect much from it. It's better as a movie made for TV.
Three Kings
This is film has kind of a simple plot. Four soldiers go after gold bricks that is held in a bunker, in a village near Karbala. The four find themselves wanting to help the villagers, more than getting the gold, and they run into a lot of trouble with the Iraqi Soldiers.This is a great film. But it doesn't belong under the war genre. It's more action, even though the setting is war. So, if you're a(n) "Apocalypse Now," "Deer Hunter," "Boys In Company C," etc. fanatic, than don't expect much from this movie. Other than that, I think you'd enjoy it. It's not good as a war film, but it's good as a(n) action/comedy, or drama film. Give it a look.
Boiler Room
For some people this is a simple movie, for others…it's a difficult, so I'm not going to get into detail. I kind of liked this movie because it had detail. I can fall right into a movie, as if I'm living it. Some people can't, they're waiting for everything on the screen, they can't get into it, unlike me . So if you're wanting a movie where you don't have to get into it, don't watch this. For you other, here's what I have to say…This movie is about a young man, Seth Davis (Giovanni Ribisi,) who runs an illegal gambling joint in his apartment. When his father, Judge Davis (Ron Rifkin,) finds out, Seth gets another job…as a stockbroker. Basically, Seth just wants to make money to impress his father. My guys is to why the film was given an "R" rating was because of a few disturbing scenes. One scene, at the beginning of the film, where my favorite actor Jamie Kennedy, is doing cocaine. And another scene where Richi (Scott Caan) takes a guy outside, and beets him up. I guess I find Caan's character beating somebody up in this movie disturbing because it looks so real. I mean, my favorite genre is horror, which is a blood-filled-genre, but this looked so real, I was about to hide my face like a 5-year-old. The reason I gave this film a 9/10 was because of the ending. You feel cheated. I don't know if they purposely did it, or what, but I can't get into much detail about that unless I have to spoil it. So, it was a good movie for a certain kind of person.
Reservoir Dogs
Quentin Tarantino is most famous for his film `Pulp Fiction'. `Pulp Fiction' won over twelve awards. One year before that was Tarantino's second film `True Romance', starring Patricia Arquette & Christian Slater. `True Romance', `Pulp Fiction', `Natural Born Killers', and many other projects written by Tarantino were a spin-off of his first film `Reservoir Dogs'. This film is about a man named Joes Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) who runs a crime business. Cabot is a rich man (thanks to theft) and is wanted by the police. Cobot is a very popular man, and is loved and respected by many of his thief-soldiers. Uncut diamonds are being imported to a store, and Cobot wants his hands on it. He hires six men to do a four-man job. Cobot has everything all planned out (like he always does). He gives his thieves names, so if there's a rat in the house, there will be a less of a chance of getting caught because they don't know your name. Mr. Brown (Tarantino), Mr. White (Keitel), Mr. Blonde (Madsen), Mr. Blue (Bunker), Mr. Orange (Roth), and Mr. Pink (Buscemi) and their given names. They are not to tell anything about themselves to each other, such as their real name, their wife's name, when/where they did time, where they're from, or a bank they robbed. The robbery is all planned out, very well. But something goes wrong! While robbing the store, they are suddenly surrounded by cops. Mr. Pink (Steven Buscemi) has a good feeling that they were set up. Some of the thieves got away, some got killed, and maybe some got caught. The survived thieves meet back at the rendezvous and finally come to the conclusion that; one of the six thieves, Joe Cobot, or his son Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn), is an undercover cop. Throughout the film they try to figure out who the cop is. There is no actual main character. There are three main characters in this film; Mr. White (Harvey Keitel), Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), and Mr. Orange (Tim Roth). Those three are the principle characters in this film. This is a very good film. The first five minutes might be slow for some of you, but it's there so you get to know the characters. Just remember the characters I told you about, and you'll enjoy this entertaining brilliant film.
