The Upright Citizens Brigade - The Complete First Season

70 reviews

Comedy Central, 2003

I am a Supercool addict...........
This was one of the funniest shows ever made. It is with in the top two all time best written shows. It kept getting better at the show went on and there were so many jokes interlaced between all the episodes. So clean under the tables, say no to Supercool and remember Jesus says TAKE IT TO THE HOLE!

The Best of MLK on DVD
Along with the Paul Winfield movie on MLK (which the late Winflield does for Dr. King what Denzel did for Malcolm X), this is clearly the best documentary of MLK that is avaialble on DVD. Basically, it does not do much on his early years and skims the all-too familiar story of the Momtgomery bus boycott. But it deals with a lot of lesser known matters of his career from 1963 to his ...

Citizen Ruth

Laura Dern, Swoosie Kurtz

Miramax, 2003

Brilliant satire
"Citizen Ruth" is an absolute gem, a brilliant satire of the abortion debate - an easy task to screw up and a very difficult one to pull off. It pulls it off with laughs, heart, and one of the most perfect final scenes I've ever seen.

Ruthless!
I first saw this movie on HBO, unless I"m mistaken. Have been waiting for it to come out on DVD. It's absolutely stark and fascinating. It's a Russian "Silence Of The Lambs" - good for those who love horror or murder mysteries. Gail Strumberger Author "Shock Therapy: Planaphobic"

The Battle over Citizen Kane

5 reviews
Nancy Loe, Frank Mankiewicz

Wgbh Boston, 2000

A classic documentary of a classic film.
This documentary is more than just a rendition of the controversy surrounding "Citizen Kane," it is a pair of parallel biographies of the two men. (Everyone knows about the "War of the Worlds" broadcast, but how many know about his successes on stage--"Julius Caesar" on Broadway commenting darkly on the rise of fascism, or "MacBeth" set in Haiti with an all-black cast.) In the end, it poses the ...

Comedy Central, 2007

greatest comedy ever created
UCB is the greatest thing ever brought to the world of comedy. This first season is fantastic and it just gets better. anyone who has not seen this should definately check it out. I have been watching it since i recorded it on vhs in the late 90's and it never gets old. I was so happy when I found they made the first 2 seasons on dvd. I hope to everything that is still holy in this world ...

Upright Citizens Brigade - The Complete Second Season

15 reviews
Matt Walsh, Amy Poehler

Comedy Central, 2007

Another fine season of comedy sketches
Much like the first season, well, exactly like the first season, but with all new sketches, the Upright Citizens Brigade comes with in your face comedy. Sketches to gross you out and offend you at the same time. Sketches to make you laugh and some to make you think. They even carry some characters over from the first season. You will not be disappointed.

Citizen Kane (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten

Turner Home Ent, 2001

Best movie ever..( spoiler )
I watched this movie for the first time in english class. I had to write a paper of 8 pages about it. I was amazed by all the elements and interested in what "Rosebud" was. I will admit that I still cry at the end of this movie because like Kane, some of us has lost a something so precious when we are kids that even when the money we have now, we cannot replace it. The music score doesn't help to ...

The Upright Citizens Brigade: Asssscat!

Shout Factory Theatr, 2008

Del Close would be proud
Like the other reviewer, I too was skeptical, but for different reasons. I've seen ASSSCAT before and it's always been great, but I didn't know how well it would translate to video. That plus I'm more familiar with the New York crew and this ASSSSCAT show was filmed in Los Angeles. By the end of the DVD, though, any doubts I had were quashed. This is brilliant. Prepare to have the phrase ...

Great films, great value
No frills, just 3 great films for a good price. I like the documentaries but usually only once so I like films sold like this for about 9 bucks a film.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion

Winner of 1970's foreign film Oscar, this jarring and potent film tells the story of a recently promoted Fascist police inspector who slits his mistress's throat. He then plans self incriminating evidence and makes an anonymous call to report the crime. The police unearth clues that point to the inspector, but ignore them because of his high standing on the force. An excellent look into the mind of a murderer, the film features an incredible ...

TROMA ENTERTAINMENT INC., 2003

These drugs are gonna blow my a$$ off!
Once again we are back for another Toxic Avenger review. After two rather lackluster sequels (which I, surprisingly, enjoyed), Lloyd Kaufman and crew return with the hilarious, gory, and very violent Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger Part IV. What seperates Citizen Toxie from the other sequels is the care that was taken with this sequel. Sure, Toxie 2 and 3 were labors of love, as all Troma ...

Required Being...
Arthur Ashe made a lasting impression upon me shortly after my 13th birthday by winning the first US Open Tennis Championship. I watched on a black & white television as the only contrasting figure raised the winner's trophy. I followed his career through my high school years and beyond totally captivated by his cool demeanor under pressure and in the face of extreme diversity. This documentary ...

Jimmy Dore for President!!
Jimmy Dore is one of the funniest comedians out there. His sarcastic and smart comedy evokes the work of Dr. Hunter S Thompson. Whenever Jimmy is performing in town I always go out to see him and have never been disappointed. I can't recommend this highly enough.

Tai Seng, 2007

Amazingly superb film - brilliant stuff
If you liked City of Lost Children or Amelie, you'll love this movie. It's a beautifully shot movie, full of surreal eye candy. Wonderful story about a shy young man named Pod in Bangkok. A must see for anyone who enjoys escapism film elements or wants to be entertained with cleverness. Check this film out!

HBO's RKO 281: The Battle Over CITIZEN KANE - a MUST for Any Film Buff!
This sumptuously produced made-for-TV movie concerning the epic battle between 26-year-old boy wonder Orson Welles and newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst over CITIZEN KANE is totally enthralling from the opening scene to final fadeout. Hearst was highly annoyed with Welles' first movie (working title: RKO 281) because its newspaper publisher character bore a too-close-for-comfort ...

Citizen Cohn

9 reviews
James Woods, Joe Don Baker

Hbo Home Video, 2001

Brilliant Acting
James Woods gives a brilliant and very realistic performance. The story is told of Cohn's rise to power, his ruthless treatment of 'communists', and his slow but eventual downfall, first when he meets his match in a clever army lawyer, then in a woman he should have taken a little more seriously, and then in illness and death. The portrayal of the gassing of Ms. Rosenberg is not something that ...

Citizen Verdict

Armand Assante, Jerry Springer

Bauer, 2005

Much better than I expected
With the so-so cover art and Jerry Springer as one of the stars, I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised! Great acting, good production and king of scary, when you consider the movie's premise. Overall, not an academy-award winner, but a great evening's entertainment. Armand Assante gives a good performance.
