DVD Review SPACEBALLS (BLU-RAY)

As a sci-fi parody this uneven comedy isn't Mel Brooks' finest work, but that's not to say it is not without its pleasantly juvenile merits. Sadly, however, this anniversary packaging doesn't offer much not already presented in the 2009 BD release, making it seem somewhat pointless.

DVD Review WORKAHOLICS SEASONS 1 & 2 (BLU-RAY)

It's an outrageous stoner-slacker-office comedy from Comedy Central that explodes in outrageous situations and bits that are as off-the-wall as could ever be hoped for or expected. It's good just to laugh. It doesn't have to mean anything. There is explicit content and it is recommended for mature audiences... yeah right.

PR Steve Martin: The Television Stuff on DVD Sep 18

In the 1970s, Steve Martin exploded onto the national scene with a brand of comedy that was so anti-hip it was ueber hip. But before he turned into a movie star, he'd cemented his legend as a television star and stand-up comedian. Now, for the first time, Martin's long in-demand television specials and stand-up comedy performances -- along with a 24-page booklet and bonus features -- will have you laughing all over again!

DVD Review UP ALL NIGHT WITH ROBERT DOWNEY SR. (ECLIPSE SERIES 33)

Experimental and subversive, but more than that...funny. Robert Downey, Sr.'s output in the 60s and 70s makes for some of the best underground filmmaking of the era.

PR National Lampoon's The Legend of Awesomest Maximus on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download Mar 20

From the director of Revenge of the Nerds, and it's easily the most outrageous parody in years. Horny King Looney of Troy (Rip Torn) sends slacker general Awesomest Maximus (Will Sasso) to maintain peace with rival King Erotic of Greece. But when Prince Orlando, who's more into fashion than fighting, steals the King's wife Ellen (Sophie Monk) to be his BFF, it's war! Will Awesomest live up to his godly destiny? Can he defeat the mighty warrior Testiclees (Ian Ziering)?

Can he light a fire under his gold-digging wife Hotessa (Kristanna Loken)? The only thing that can be predicted is that this is one savagely funny farce from the people know how to throw a toga party!

Article HBO's Game Change Comes Up a Bit Short

Highly anticipated, Game Change ultimately falls flat, but not because it is not entertaining enough in a superficial way. The story of Sarah from Alaska and her ascension to the national stage is an unpleasant story of unpleasant people trying to do very unpleasant things. Maybe playing it for real laughs would have redeemed it.

DVD Review SUPER (BLU-RAY)

It may seem that the superhero parody genre is pretty one-note and tired, but Troma vet James Gunn seems very comfortable in that area, having also written the completely underrated The Specials. As writer/director Gunn unleashes Super - with Rainn Wilson as a wannabe crimefighter - a weirdly addictive mix of humor, violence and drama with a terrific cast that is just perverse and left-of-center enough that it deserves to become a veritable cult classic.

Highly recommended.
