The Lance Krall Show (2005)
Pleasant Surprise
So on June 6th i decide to watch wrestling for the first time in a very long while because it sucks now. Mind you this night i'm in a very bad mood, had a very bad day, just not good at all. So wrestling ends and I see the name "Lance Krall" and I'm thinking WTF is this? The first Ninja skit was weird, a little creepy, directed well, and funny too. Then I see Lance and think, Wow who the hell is this goofball? This is gonna' be the worst show ever(Sorry Lance I'm just being honest). From then on I realized he is not a goofball, but actually funny and talented. His prank phone call about getting his poodle trimmed had me laughing out loud(I usually don't do that when I'm in a bad mood), although I am better at doing prank calls than Lance, it was still pretty good.The robot alien skit was pretty cool, that other guy playing a hick with Lance was pretty damn funny as well, you could tell this skit was mostly improv from their free flowing dialogue and the fixed camera to allow them space fro improv and save time in the editing room. The character Tron had the same effect on me, laughing out loud. There was another skit that was really funny too but I can't remember it. Then at the end when that girl showed the montage of Lance hitting people I laughed the hardest I've laughed in a while, especially when he was hitting people with tennis rackets, that was pure genius, just the way he chased someone down and kept hitting them was great. I was surprised to find out that this was actually the season finale. I wish i knew about the show before, I would love to see another season of this show. I don't really know how successful it was in terms of ratings so I don't know if spike is gonna pick the show back up, but hopefully they do, as someone who is studying film, likes dojg comedy improv, and hoping to be successful at writing comedy in my future I appreciate the mixture of good directing(especially for a first season show, someone on the crew must have some experience in film because it had a cinematic feel and tone to it)and also the flare for improv comedy the players have. Good luck to Lance and his crew, hopefully I will be able to see the show again on spike, or maybe another network will pick it up (comedy central) if they are smart....
The Grudge (2004)
This movie sucks
This is one of the most un-scary movies ever. It was a ridiculously stupid ending. I can't even delve into how bad it was because it is pissing me off, but umm I will.... It was just bad. The direction was at least decent, but it was way too much like the Ring, it seems like they used the same type of cinematography. They sure used the same type of scares..... the really stupid kind. Why did they have that stupid old ladies' hand hit the ground, and then add a really loud bang which in no way could have been caused by her hand hitting the floor? Thats plain stupid. Its those kind of cheap scare tactics(sorry I know there is a retarded show of that name)that make horror movies bad and not scary, thus not really horror movies. But overall Sara Gellar is hot, I would send it to her.
