Black Panther (2018)
A very long MEH
With all the hype this should have been epic. Oh well, at least I never have to see it again and this is a legit see-it-only-once movie, unlike the movie 300 which I can watch over and over. This felt like a political movie more than entertainment. MEH!!!
It's Such a Beautiful Day (2012)
Never seen anything like it before.
I don't think I can accurately describe how very very much I loved this movie. I've seen it 4 times now and each time I still feel my soul ache for Bill. I fell in love with Bill and... just felt for him. In real life, I felt for an animated character. It's that good.
The way the scenes are laid out really dig deep into the psyche and even if the scenes are too deep for you, you can still appreciate being pulled into someone's mind and experiences in such a way that later you won't be able to help but to reflect on, and often.
I especially loved how the writer depicted the psychotic breaks. Genius. What is it like to have experienced true emotional pain? What's the damage left? What about genetics? There's no doubt that environment plays a large role in emotional development but so does being genetically predisposed to an illness or 'malfunction' that basically hinders brain function so that the brain is no longer efficient. Most of us can only imagine experiencing the brain being truly confused or inept.
Yet, Bill pushes on as the sweetest, kindest soul who just lives his simple, rote routines and just keeps living...and living....and living.
This movie is amazing and you get to experience Bill's PERCEPTIONS of his reality and life in a stark and matter-of-fact way that gets to you. LOVE this LOVE LOVE LOVE this! ...and I LOVE whomever made this movie. You are simply incredible, sir.
The Cabin in the Woods (2011)
AMAZING!!!!!!!! This is my new favorite A+ pseudo B movie of all time.
I don't understand why people don't LOVE this. It has the cabin from evil dead the lake from Halloween the movie elements from all horror, its a movie that u pick up new details on every time u watch it. My god this is one of the the refreshing entertaining movies I have ever seen. After three times in two daywait to it again. WHAT is wrong with people that they can' can see 't t see the subtle ironies. The director and writer have created a NEW idea in a movie that has never been played out like this before. Amazed. Love. Love. Love. Love Love Love Love:................................... review is not yet ready for submission.

Brian Regan: Standing Up (2007)
All about the man.
Brian Regan grew up one of eight children in Miami. Funny runs a bit in his family. His brother was a writer on the sitcom "The King of Queens." Regan attended Heidelberg College in Ohio, majoring in accounting and playing football for the school. His football coach noticed his creative bent and encouraged him to explore theater. As a sophomore, he discovered stand-up and began to pursue it.
From his first performance at a Fort Lauderdale club he was hooked. By senior year he had quit college to pursue comedy full time. He finally completed the last ten credits to his degree in 1997.
By 1981 he had immersed himself into the world of stand-up, even taking a job as a greeter and cook for the Comic Strip in South Florida. He worked out his stuff for over two years in the club, even occasionally flirting at the beginning with prop comedy. By the end, Regan was ready to tour as a middle act.
A move to New York followed in 1986 and two short years later he was a headliner as well as the winner of the K-Rock/Miller Lite Funniest Person in New York Contest.
Brian Regan enjoys the reputation as a clean comedian, but the lack of profanity doesn't come from any particular moral bent and he is widely respected by his peers. His material is still incredibly sharp and engaging, focusing on creating not just laughs but good laughs.
Regan made his first appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman in 1995, become a regular guest every year since. 1996 saw him winning the American Comedy Award for Best Comedian. In 1997, he released his first CD, the simply title "Brian Regan Live." Brian Regan received his first half-hour special from Comedy Central in the year 2000.
In 2004, Regan taped a live performance at the Irvine Improv and released it as a DVD entitled "I Walked on the Moon." Though he was not a regular performance on television, Brian Regan has been able to grow the audience for his act to a degree that he was able to move his act from the clubs to theaters.
In 2007, Comedy Central made a large commitment to Regan comedy with a deal that included not only a live tour but two hour-long specials.
