Chris Rock: Bring the Pain (1996)
...a true master of his art...
*bows*
All hail Chris Rock, one of the finest stand-up comedians I have ever seen.
"Bring The Pain" is simply amazing, a total riot from start to finish. Chris Rock discusses life, relationships, racism, society, politics, and controversial figures such as OJ Simpson, Marion Barry, and even the President -- speaking not only from personal experience but also keen observations. You will laugh your arse off -- he's witty, insightful, sagacious, and always brutally honest.
If you want to see a true master of his art, go rent Chris Rock's DVD "Never Scared" (which contains "Bring The Pain"). Oh, and a word to the wise; don't try to eat or drink near punchlines. You *will* get coke up your nose and/or choke. This nearly happened to me during the scene where he talks about Martin Luther King -- one of my favorites, not only because it's hysterical, but also because it's a shining example of his perceptiveness.
So go watch it! ;) - Kate
All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989)
Adorable but definitely for older kids...
I think All Dogs Go To Heaven was a fabulous movie. I saw it when I was about 10 and I loved it. I liked that it dealt with death and crime and other real-life things, I was sick of everything-is-okay-in-the-end movies. But don't let little kids see this movie, it might scare them. I remember the scene in the end with that monster and all the bones everywhere...oh God. Anyway, it's a wonderful movie but definitely for older kids. The characters are sweet and realistic, (I love Itchy to death, he's the sidekick) and while the movie definitely has it's depressing moments, it's happy in the end and it does teach some valuable lessons. :)
