King & Queen of Moonlight Bay (2003) Review

In all honesty I purchased this dvd because it was cheap and had the sexy Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars) in it. I wasn't expecting much from it, but it turned out to be a heart-warming film. The performances were excellent and it had a nice look to it. There are no extras and it only comes in full-screen (it was a made-for-tv movie) but it was entertaining enough to watch. I'm glad I bought it.

Filmed on location in Lake Havasu AZ this made-for-cable domestic drama stars Tim Matheson as Al Dodge a burned-out intellectual working as a handyman and living in a rundown trailer in the middle of the Arizona desert. Some 15 years earlier Al had abandoned his family and is now living the life of a truculent recluse. All this may change -- or may not -- when Al is visited by Alison Kristen Bell his long-estranged teenaged daughter. Doing their best to mend the fences between father and daughter are Als current girlfriend Sandy Sean Young and the requisite crusty but lovable widower Auggie Sinclair Ed Asner . Adapted by Michael De Guzman from his own novel The King and Queen of Moonlight Bay debuted on the Hallmark Channel on Fathers Day June 15 2003. Hal Erickson Rovi

Russell Brand in New York City (2009) Review

Personally, I feel Russell is at his best when it's unscripted, off-the-cuff banter. He's very quick, and that atmosphere showcases his humor best. That said, I give this stand-up show a B+. Russell's ability to make mundane, everyday things hilarious is a quality that isn't unique or special (it's kind of a pre-requisite for calling yourself a comedian). What makes Russell special is the way he takes a situation or event, and instead of using the first or even second most likely word/phrase to describe it, he goes way down on the list to grab a term that you've probably only heard 3 times in your life, but fits perfectly. Again, simply doing this isn't earth-shattering, but Russell is so smart, and has so many random references in his mind, that you're likely to be caught off-guard by the way he describes things.
He's obviously a smart man (either the drugs didn't addle his brain much, or he started out Mensa-level), and his spontaneous comedy shows it better than his scripted comedy.
