South Park Season 15

21 m        2012     TV-MA

This crass animated series started as a potty-mouthed response to sitcoms that portrayed children as angelic figures, but evolved into one of television's most effective satires, joyfully skewering cultural trends, celebrities and political figures.

Kyle is intimately involved in the development of a revolutionary new product called HumancentiPad. Info from Netflix!

The other night I wanted something super fast to watch and en episode of South Park was just the perfect thing. They are quick, easy, and funny as all heck. the 15th season is now on Netflix so I started 15-1,  The HumancentiPad. Genius. I loved the Human Centipede movie so that, plus South Park, makes for a fun time. Like all of their other episodes it was perfect. Matt and Trey have such a great sense of humor and such a gift for clever writing. I saw the mini movie, 6 Days to Air, and it was made while they were working on this particular episode. It was neat to see the episode that they talk about. It came out well and all their hard work was worth it.

All I can say about this episode and season 15 is watch it. So funny. 5 Profane Stars.

Thor

2011          1hr 54m         PG-13

In this Marvel Comics-inspired action flick, thunder god Thor finds himself banished by his father, Odin, and forced to live among humans on Earth to learn humility. Can Thor regain his powers and return home? Info from Netflix!

I am a big nerd and I love nerd type things. Anime, comic books, D&D..... the whole lot. Comic book movies are something that I like but there is always a cautiousness when it comes to watching them. I hope they are good but I don't get my hopes up too much. Thor was a pleasant surprise. I watched it for the first time months ago and really enjoyed it. I found Thor to be very charismatic and Loki to be the cutest. I think it is his smile. It is so nice. 

This time this weekend when I watched it for the second time I still enjoyed it but not nearly as much. It kind of had a hard time keeping my attention. I found myself thinking about other things while watching it. The parts I found the most entertaining were the ones with Loki. I care about his part of the story. I am sure he will be my favorite pat of The Avengers. I am not sure why this watch through didn't hold my attention as it did the first time. I watch tons of movies and shows multiple times and I usually love them as much the 3rd time as I do the 1st. Thor just didn't. 

I bought all the actors as their respective characters except Natalie Portman. Perhaps it is because I can only see her as Natalie Portman and that is it. I couldn't buy her as a astrophysicist. 

Even though I didn't care for it the second time around I still think you should watch it if you haven't already. 

Netflix gave Thor 4 stars and I give it 4 Thor hammers. A perfect match.

Jim Gaffigan: Mr. Universe

2012           1hr 17m           NR

Funnyman Jim Gaffigan offers up his unique take on everything from Disney World to overweight whales in this live show from Washington, D.C. Other topics include McDonald's, indoor pools, slothfulness and having a fourth child. From Netflix!

I remember seeing Jim Gaffigan years ago before I really knew who he was or how funny he was. I loved him from the first 30 seconds of his show. He was super funny back then and he is just as funny today. I love his little voice that he does and the supposed thoughts of the audience. They are spot on and make his humor his own and stand out. 

I started this comedy special up on Saturday because my husband was jumping in the shower and was going to be busy for a little while. 20 seconds after I started it up I heard the same music in the bathroom. Turns out my husband had the same idea as me because he just stared it up as well with his Ipad in the bathroom. I matched mine up with his so when he got done with his shower we could watch it in the living room together without a hitch. 

This stand up performance was just as funny as his other ones. I laughed a lot and my husband laughed a lot as well. The only thing I didn't find super funny was all the humor about his kids. Since I don't have kids of my own or particularity like kids, I don't find humor about kids and raising them great. But, since Jim Gaffigan is so funny and I like his sense of humor he made it funny.

Netflix gave Mr. Universe 4.3 stars and I give it 5 cute funny kittens.

Jackass 2.5 and Jackass 3

2007   1hr 4m   NR                        2010  1hr 39m   UR

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and the entire Jackass crew return with even more inappropriate and reckless stunts, pranks and mischief in this film that combines extra scenes from Jackass 2 with behind-the-scenes footage and exclusive interviews. Confronting dangerous animals such as alligators and snakes, fighting one another, and embarrassing Bam's dad are just a few of the crazy high jinks in store. Info from Netflix!

Johnny Knoxville -- the original Jackass himself -- returns after a long hiatus and subjects himself to all-new stunts involving wild animals, dangerous heights and other perils guaranteed to do him bodily harm. "Jackass" regulars Bam Margera and Steve-O also endure their share of punishment in this collection of stomach-churning, don't-ever-try-these-at-home acrobatics that time and again blur the line between hilarious and tasteless. Info from Netflix!

My husband and I watched these two movies back to back. We were in a mood to watch these movies and these are the only 2 on Netflix so we watched them happily. I think I have seen these movies over 9 times. I can watch them over and over. Watching these guys doing stupid stunts, getting hurt, and being all round funny is the best. I don't go to the theater often (2 times a year) but I went to see the 2nd and 3rd ones at the cinema. 

As mean as it sounds I love watching Danger Ehren getting hurt. I don't know. I know it is horrible but I can't help it. He looks so funny and says the funniest things. He just kills me. I love the bit where he gets kicked by a donkey. 

All of the  Jackass guys are super funny and make me laugh so much. Johnny Knoxville is cute and I love it when he gets done up like an old man and causes problems. Bam puts so many things up his butt just to get a laugh. Steve-o has the best laugh and his gag reflex makes me laugh. That man can't not vomit. Wee Man is always up for anything and I love when he hides in small places and scares people. Preston is such a good sport. He lets those guys shoot him, paint him, and keeps a smile on his face. Ryan has the best beard, plain and simple. Chris Pontius seems like he is having the time of his life all the time. Dave England is a professional shitter and uses his gift to make people laugh.

If you like to laugh watch these movies. Netflix gave these movies 3.9 and 3.4 stars and I give both of them 5 poo covered funny stars.

Wet Hot American Summer

2001              1hr 36m               R

 It's the last day of summer for Camp Firewood's staff and patrons, and everyone wants a final shot at some action. For Beth (Janeane Garofalo), that means getting it on with nerdy astrophysicist Henry (David Hyde Pierce). Ditto for the lovelorn Coop (Michael Showalter), who'd like nothing better than to lip-lock with fellow counselor Katie (Marguerite Moreau). Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon and Elizabeth Banks co-star in this spoof on summer-camp camp. Info from Netflix!

This movie has so many funny people in it. It has been years since I saw it for the first time I don't remember all these people being in it. I think I saw it before I knew of all of them. This time around I think I was laughing constantly. This movie is so ridiculous and the humor is so for me. I think a good example of  the humor is when the counselors go into town for an hour. They get something to eat, get some beer, buy crack, get addicted to drugs, end up getting strung out and passing out in a crack house; and then they go back to camp like nothing happened.

Being a person who went to summer camp many years in row as a camper and then as a counselor I really enjoy certain jokes. There is a kid who hasn't taken a shower one time during camp it really true. There is always one, if not more than one.

Just watch it. Netflix gave it 3.6 stars and I give it 5 happy campers.

The Wild Hunt

2009              1hr 35m             NR

The line between fantasy and reality quickly merges in this psychological drama set within the elaborate mini-world of a role-playing game - based on an ancient legend - that's being staged in Quebec by a large cast of costumed enthusiasts. Info from Netflix!

This was just a random movie that I watched because I liked the look of the cover and when I saw the synopsis I saw it was about LARPing. Great! Being a super nerdy girl (I love video games, anime, D&D, and cosplaying) I thought I would give this movie a try. The movie starts as if it is a serious fantasy movie. A king and one of his subjects are quarreling and soon it comes down to a sword fight. It takes a light hearted turn when they start hitting each other with foam swords. 

I thought it was going to be a funny movie, it does have humor, but it is not just a funny movie. It is one of those catch all movies with a little bit of everything. The story follows a love triangle, a loving big brother, and a large group of LARP friends. This movie made me want to try a weekend of LARP. It looks fun. The outfits, fun stories, and  excitement. The last part of the movie takes a drastic and for me, unexpected turn. 

I highly suggest checking this movie out. Whether you are into LARP or just like a good story, watch it. Netflix gives it 3.3 stars and I give it 5 scary antler bone heads.
