Take the first Pirates of the Caribbean film, add a dash of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and a lot more rum. Shake well and you'll have something resembling Dead Man's Chest, a bombastic sequel that's enjoyable as long as you don't think too hard about it. The film opens with the interrupted wedding of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), both of whom are arrested for aiding in the escape of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) in the first film. Their freedom can only be obtained by getting Captain Jack's compass, which is linked to a key that's linked to a chest belonging to Davy Jones, an undead pirate with a tentacle face and in possession of a lot of people's souls. If you're already confused, don't worry--plot is definitely not the... Learn More

She joined a cult, battled anorexia, beat sexual harassers at their own game, got fake-married, and so much more. Ever since the Comedy Central series Strangers with Candy first aired, Jerri Blank has seemed fated for humiliation, disease, and a boxed set--here, her ultimate destiny is finally fulfilled.
In creating Jerri, the 46-year-old high school freshman, Amy Sedaris and her co-stars/co-writers Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert imagined a person who is both startlingly crass and strangely innocent. One minute Jerri is uttering the immortal line "I like the pole and the hole"--the next she's only interested in "pizza, pizza, pizza," and joining the cheerleading squad. Her world view is completely unaffected by her 32 years as a "junkie whore." It won't take a rabid...

but these episodes just aren't as strong. I only vaguely remember seeing these on Comedy Central, probably because they are aired less than the previous seasons.
Laughed more at the Chapelle "quickie" sketch included on Disc One than all the episodes combined on said disc.
Season Two is a glorious revelation from the Gods of Comedy and features such wiley moments (often musical) such as Noblett singing 80s power rock ballads and yellow-clad cult members of the Safe Trap House joyously chanting, "I'm gonna sit at the Welcome Table, Hallelujah!", but unfortunately Season Two is missing a bit of that life-altering je ne sais quoi of the first. Guy, Jerri's actively catatonic father, is dead by episode three to be replaced by a weakened rendition of the old favorite, Stu, the Meat Guy. The sexual tension between Noblett and Jellineck has fizzled.
I almost had her face tattooed on my body. My sister and I quote it like bible verses. The line about " How many of you want to wake up in a public bathroom lying in s pool of what you HOPE is your own filth" is on my phone. Devotion, or obsession? I do not know but what I do know is this is Hilarious!
It's ridiculous but smart at the same time. My friend borrowed all three seasons from me one time and I got panicky.(Now he has my Arrested Development dvd and I feel that way again). Everyone I force to watch loves it...well all except one person. I won't mention her name, but we will never look at Liane the same way again.
Anyway if you have seen an episode or two on comedy central and trying to figure out which season to buy, Season One is my personal fav. Of course you'll...

I have an unnatural obsession with this movie. I saw it several years back (I guess right when it hit cable) and I've loved it ever since. Every other reviewer here seems to claim that it's not Oscar material and blah blah blah. If the only movies you watch are those you think will win awards, you're missing out on many great flicks.
You may not like this film, that's obvious. I found it to be hilarious, though, and that's how I tend to judge and review comedy films. The attitudes the characters have to the events in this movie make it exceptionally humorous, especially in the case of the mother. Rent this movie and see if you like it. If you don't, at least you'll have the material to write a truly awful review here. Writing bad reviews is so much more fun that writing good ones, after...

The heartland of the American Midwest traditionally has been held up as everything from wholesome to stiflingly dull. This makes it a natural backdrop for this terrific, tongue-in-cheek juvenile fantasy, a place that looks like a squeaky-clean 1950s sitcom suburb but hides more secrets than Blue Velvet: Elvis lives down the street and Bigfoot roots through the neighborhood trash bins. Omri Katz (Matinee) and Justin Shenkarow (TV's Picket Fences) are a pair of adolescent Hardy Boys stuck in "America's capital of weird," a mix of The X-Files and Kolchak: The Night Stalker spun into a comic Twilight Zone. Creative consultant Joe Dante directed two of the episodes in this collection: "Forever Ware," about a demonic plastic container that keeps...
