Quiz Show (1994)

Relevent even in this time

[23 February 2004]

I know this takes place in the late 50's, when the boomers were younger, but it is so relevent even with this generation. Time may have passed but the game is still the same. Every damn show is rigged to get big ratings. I give this a 9/10.

Living with Michael Jackson: A Tonight Special (2003 TV Movie)

He tried, but failed

[11 November 2003]

Contains spoilers(yeah, but who would want to see this movie)-

The ultimate purpose of this documentary was to make him out to be a normal person, not the freak he is frequently portrayed as. I watched this hoping to see that he's not as freaky as I thought. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Not only is he a freak, but I now think he is mentally ill. In one scene, just right after he dangled his poor baby, he tried so hard to show he's a good father. You can see the desperation when he is jiggling the baby, sadly named Blanket. If you expect to see him as a normal guy, you're in for a disappointment. This provides furthur evidence that he is a freak.

The Meaning of Life (1983)

May not be the best explanation of life, but it's funny anyway

[11 October 2003]

I sure hope some of you didn't watch the movie because you actually wanted to know the meaning of life. Good, because all you'll get is a lot of laughs(which is not a bad thing). It's funny how they spoof the many phases of life such as birth, sex, death and a few other things. You'll enjoy the "every sperm is sacred" song, it's quite catchy. Watch out for Terry Jones in a big fat suit as he spoofs a glutton(there is a lot of vomit in this bit). And the funniest part in my opinion was the Grim Reaper bit. Even so, this movie doesn't explain the meaning of life as it says in the title and you would be a big idiot if you saw the movie expecting an explanation of life.
