The Whitest Kids U'Know (2007)
Brilliant & Unapologetically Subversive
I stumbled across this show on IFC in 2008 and it grabbed my attention instantly. The humor isn't just dark, subversive, absurd, and crude, but most importantly -- wickedly clever. Each member of the troupe has their own endearing qualities. It was one of those discoveries you can't wait to share with your friends. We became massive fans immediately and the show has remained a constant source of entertainment ever since. Trevor Moore's death was a heartbreaking loss, but his incredible talent lives on through this show. RIP.
House of the Dead (2003)
Gets an A for Abysmal
Where to begin? This film is a disaster. I've never seen so many bad things come in such rapid succession. It's like the cinematic equivalent of a 200 car freeway pileup. The characters are shallow, one-dimensional, corny, annoying, and generally unlikeable. I didn't care about a single one of them. The actors portraying these ridiculous characters seem to have been given no direction whatsoever, they just stumble their way through the movie trying to make the best of the horror script. The story is dumb, hardly explained, and makes little to no sense. The cinematography is actually not bad at times and the production values are adequate, it's just a shame these aspects didn't go into a better project. Uwe Boll fancies himself as some sort of brilliant auteur who the critics just happen to pick on for personal reasons. It's nothing personal, Mr. Boll. It's your work.
