Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Jim Morrisey The most memorable talk show in years. I loved everything about it. Russell handled the job of mediator well. He had some potentially explosive interview guest moments. I think hes funny and adorable. I just love his energy and light. I feel like i learnt something from these shows, I remember looking forward to thursdays when a new episode would air. He made me care about the things that he felt passionately about. Very influential guy. Ondi Timoner is doing a documentary on him. Soon all the haters will have to bow down. Love the episode he brings a homeless person on to sit with a couple nice ladies from the dog pound and throws a cup across the studio to get his guests attention. Im disappointed to see only a 5 rating on here, even Russell talked his show down on the Howard Stern show. Russell rest assured the fact that you weren't trying to make a perfect run of the mill TV show is what made it so relatable and real. Trust me, everything on U.S TV is boring bar hbo. Thanks for waking us up over here.
Furcino The first few shows left me feeling a little perplexed. It wasn't comedy, but rather a comically dressed person trying to express his world-views in a funny and vulgar way. With every episode, the show has become more enjoyable, but I think that the theme of exploring today's world basically stuck.Since I was expecting more comedy, I didn't enjoy the show that much at first. I identified with some of his views, but that is not why I watched it. Gradually, the comedy part caught up with the rest. However, what I love about the show now is mainly the 'philosophy behind his mental illness'. He tries to portray the most extreme individuals as people (spoiler: 'as long as they don't have sex with animals') and, tries to open a dialogue free of condemnation. While he (or any of this) can't be taken seriously, I think he's still trying to send an important message. The laughs are solid and I think most people will enjoy his more recent shows. I am giving this a 10/10 because I like what he's doing.
Storms I'm a fan of Russell's past work. I think ponderland is one of the funniest TV shows of all time, he was unhinged in BBBM and his radio shows were comedy genius.I was expecting he'd deliver something at the same level with Brand X, however the show fails miserably. It's just not funny, too much of the corporate tag on it. It feels to me like Brand hasn't exerted his own zany style on the show and instead has conformed to what the network wants. I'm very disappointed.If Russell ever reads this here's a message: you've lost your mojo man, don't tow the line with the corporate moneymakers, come back to the UK and try and recapture that zest you had from 10 years ago.
funrocket It's funny how such a simple show can be so entertaining. Russell just gives a standup performance in what looks like a small college lecture room with Power Point presentations and kind of a bland professor sidekick who seems to do nothing other than be someone Russell can make fun of. You can see the subtle catering to the college crowd as almost everyone there appears to be young and it's much like seeing a college lecture. He really knows how to work the audience, taking audience participation a step further, rather than maybe send an intern into the audience to put a mic up to them, he goes in and sits on their lap, male or female. One of the best shows on FX and barely costs anything to make, it's a good part of the guy show lineup on the network.
