Falling Up
Another dumb indie movie. I mean I guess it was ok, a story of a guy whose dad dies, and his misadventures after taking a job as a doorman. I don’t know how or why some of these movies get made, and why was Snoop Dogg in it? Whatevs.
O2Be - 3&4
I guess you have to sort of get used to the style, because I maybe laughed a little more in these 2 eps. I do notice that they mention 9-11 @ a lot, which I suppose was common in ‘02, but I think this show was part of that whole post-9-11 comedy slump or weirdness or whatever.
The Chronicle - The Stepford Cheerleaders
The gang go undercover at a high school to unveil bionic cheerleaders!

***CLASSIC PICK***
Easy A
In a modern retelling of The Scarlet Letter, a girl is the victim of rumors, but then uses it to her advantage and learns a valuable lesson. Enough has been said about this movie, it is funny, clever, has great different characters. Love it! The bonus features are good, but maybe show the darker and swearyer original script.
***CLASSIC PICK***
Community - Social Psychology, Advanced Criminal Law, Football, Feminism, and You
More classic community. It is strange how much the show changed. At this point, there are reasons laid out for everything and subjects that actually have to do with community college. I can’t really say one part of the show is better or worse than another part, but it is interesting to see. I also find myself remembering at least the scene setups, if not all the specific jokes.
***CLASSIC PICK***
Community - Introduction to Statistics
In this Halloween episode, Annie throws a day of the dead party, Jeff goes after that one teacher, and Abed becomes Batman. I actually think this episode was the turning point where the show sort of found it’s way and settled in more. I then watched some DVD bonus features with goofs, gaffes, and giggles!
Hi Honey, I’m Home - Make My Bed, Fur Flies, Hi Mom, I’m Not Home
More wacky adventures with the Nielsens. They get help from TV friends like June Cleaver, the Honeymooners wives, and Gomer Pyle!
The Chronicle - Hot From The Oven
Investigation of a possessed oven that sucks people in and tortures them with their greatest fears. Of course, our intrepid reporters get sucked in, but with each other, they are able to overcome their fear and live another day!
My Name Is Bruce
Bruce Campbell, playing himself, is kidnapped by a town to save them from a demon. Don’t go into it expecting much, and it is a nice little sorta funny movie. It is really not any better than the bad movies that it plays off of.
O2Be - episode 1 & 2
This is a daytime talk show parody created by Lizz Winstead and Brian Unger. It is like Regis and Kelly meets Oprah, Dr. Phil, Cribs, Wild On, and other staples of 2002 tv. There were some funny parts, but it is really a lot of set up for little payoff.
How to be a Gentleman - How to Share A Relationship, How to be Draft Andrew
I avoided this show like the plague, despite some cool people in it like Rhys Darby, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Dave Foley, and it is not very good. I just can’t stand that old sitcom style, and the jokes are lame, and this is supposed to be Chicago? And on and on.
Hi Honey, I’m Home - Pilot, Meet The Nielsens
This is a sitcom from 1991 and 1992 that was on Nickelodeon. In it, a modern family encounters a family from a 50’s sitcom, who have been relocated after their show was cancelled. They also have a magic black and white remote. The premise is that things are different now and, gee ain’t that funny. These two episodes were essentially the same, with some changed jokes and actions. Also it is Julie Benz’s first show, so it is cool to see her.
Legend of the Seeker - Bounty
The D’Harans put out a bounty for the seeker and at least 3 bounty hunters are after him with a special GPS map that follows the seeker. This one girl pretends to help him, but almost turns him in to get her brother. Blahblahblah they make it out and learn a valuable lesson. Oh also one bounty hunter was another Raimi staple, that one dude who was blackbeard in jack of all trades.
The Aquabats! Super Show! - Night of the Cactus!
Paul Rust stars as a total jerk who has hired the Aquabats! to play a song for a girl. They never do because of a meteor which later turns out to have given life to a cactus and turn MCBC’s arm into a tentacle. They reluctantly help the jerk get his girl back, but she ends up destroying the cactus with the help of science!
