The Hours (2002)
The Hours, a cure for insomnia
The Hours is not the worst movie of the year. However, this movie in no way deserves the attention it is getting. I have never seen so many great acting performances in a movie this bad. Many movies attempt to evoke emotions that are not pleasant, and certainly entire genres exist with this goal in mind. This film, however, is the first to personify boredom. "The hours" I wasted watching this film creates a bad pun, but the joke is on me because I paid to see it.
Mr. Show with Bob and David (1995)
The most original sketch show ever
And also, in my opinion, the funniest. Mr. Show cannot accurately be described to someone who has not seen it, but here goes; the show is a constant stream of ideas, one of which from each skit will bring you to the next. Sometimes, it is a character that shows up, sometimes it is just some vague statement that is used. The skits themselves are hilarious, very deviant (think Python), and often feature Bob and David in multiple roles. This show would be a hit for anyone who likes off-the-wall stuff like Shakes the Clown or Strangers with Candy. Love, Jason
Being There (1979)
A terrific movie
This film is great because it works on different levels. At first glance, it is a mildly entertaining comedy. On another level, the social commentary is very engaging even two decades after it was made. This is Peter Sellers at his best.
Groundhog Day (1993)
One of my favorite comedies
The first time I saw this film, I thought it was funny, but not that great. But after repeated viewings, I enjoyed it more every time. A very simple concept is expounded upon to the point of absurdity, and the acting is terrific.
