Real - The Movie (2005) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)A film for ALL soccer fans, not just Real Madrid's. Hala Madrid!
There is another film that all soccer fans would love: it is called "Historias de Futbol" but I have never seen it advertised. It comes up on TV's Spanish channels now and then. If you see itm buy it - it is another 5-star production!

From the pitch to the locker room and to five continents, the passion for the greatest soccer team in the world is revealed in REAL: THE MOVIE. Five stories illustrating the worldwide passion for Real Madrid are interwoven with exciting action and behind the scenes footage. Part feature, part documentary, this thrilling film is a must for every fan and those who have yet to be inspired by the heroes of Real Madrid.The film features some of the 2006 World Cup's biggest and most notorious stars, including David Beckham, whose sensational 59th-minute goal in England's second round match against Paraguay made him the first of his countrymen to score in three World Cups; Zinédine Zidane, sent off the field for head-butting Italy's Marco Materazzi in the chest after a heated (and highly debated) exchange of words in the Cup Final; Ronaldo, who broke the all-time World Cup Finals scoring record and became the second player ever to score three goals in each of three World Cups; and the disparaged Roberto Carlos, who announced his retirement from international football after Brazil's disappointing elimination in the quarter-finals.

The Original Kings of Comedy/ Queens of Comedy Gift Set (2000) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm going to start the review off with the obvious: this is not a movie, but rather a documentary on the Kings Of Comedy Tour. In other words, a stand-up comedy film. You're probably reading this and wondering "why would anybody sell a collection of comedy skits as a full-length feature film?" See the movie and you'll understand. While no doubt suited for television viewing (partly because they're all on BET), the experience in the theatre gives an overall impression of being there, actually watching Steve Harvey, DL Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer and Bernie Mac toss their routines live. As for the performers themselves, some of them are downright hilarious - I particularly like Steve Harvey and, of course Bernie Mac - while DL Hughley is kinda so-so, spending most of the time talking about panties and dissing audience members. But even the weaker performances survive because the performers are energetic and bristling with enthusiasm. This ends up making the material seem a lot funnier than it really is. I guarantee you'll find yourself laughing till you're crying over jokes that really aren't all that funny (like me as well as everyone else that was in the theatre). DL Hughley is no doubt decent overall, and Cedric the Entertainer has his shining moments, although as a whole they aren't really anything special. Emcee Steve Harvey and Bernie Mac, on the other hand, are awesome. Steve Harvey's material is actually funny to begin with (I LOVE the Titanic bit at the beginning), but a lot of it is inspiring as well. He manages to find humour in love, spirituality and family life without sounding blasphemous or disrespectful. Most importantly, he means every single word he says, and that connects with the audience all too well when talking about romance and love. As for Bernie Mac: THIS is the skit that makes the movie so good. Without a doubt the star of the show, Bernie talks rudely about his kids and his unique parenting techniques, and pokes fun at other parents. His subject matter can be a little risky, but he never comes through as disrespectful or snarky. Whereas Steve Harvey delivers his skits with pure honesty, Mac's charm comes from the fact that its obvious that not a single word of it is true. This allows him to explore territory that others may be afraid to. As a whole, this movie is highly recommended if you love to laugh. It is an entirely worthwhile way to kill two hours, and I can guarantee you'll leave the theatre (or television) with a gigantic smile on your face.
