The Underground Comedy Movie
Er.... Did someone forget to tell these guys that movies have plots and characters and that comedy's are supposed to be funny? This "movie" was basically about 3 different takes of about 10 different mini-sketches. A few were reomtely funny, most were not. Overall, I was bored with this. Think of it like Jackass, a bunch of random, stupid skits but scripted and trying way too hard to be funny and then they try to thread some loose-fitting nonsensical plot through a couple of the scenes... What we end up with is this waste of time. Excellent soundtrack though.
D The soundtrack and three or four funny parts spared it from an 'F'.
Bad Religion: The Riot
This was a pretty cool hour long video showing some old late 80s/early 90s Bad Religion footage. I enjoyed this because every time I've seen them live, it's been much more recent and they've played newer material so it was cool to see some of their old shit being played live. The footage of the 1990 riot in North Hollywood that started because the fire marshalls shut down a Bad Religion show before it ever started was not as graphic or cool as I was hoping, but it was still a pretty awesome spectical of anarchy. The theatre that was supposed to host the show was 100% ransacked, swat teams in riot gear, paramedics, fire departments with water hoses and helicopters with search lights were all called in to disperse the unruly mob. Pretty entertaining film, but not the greatest sound quality on some of the concert footage from 1988.

Dazed and Confused
This is just one of those movies I can watch over and over and it never seems to lose it's appeal. Aside from Big Lebowski and Vacation, there are not too many comedys I can say that about. Expertly cast & written. Fantastic soundtrack. Good actors across the board and just an overall excellent movie. No matter how much I watch it, it doesn't get old.
