Screwed (2000)
Garbage. Period.
This is what we can expect of the new crop of young writers I suppose who are birthed on violence and video games which have no respect for life or the property of others. Theirs is a video computer world of techno, not live flesh and blood people. Witness this piece of filth, violence, and garbage which has supposedly funny scenes in it like Norm McDonald...not a favorite actor of the thinking mature world... brutalizing an innocent small breed puppy... I believe a Pomeranian...which is represented as vicious and strong...though a known lap dog. Blood spurts everywhere all over the set of a large posh mansion of an elderly lady as they spin around and scream as they beat and slam the living dog.
This is NOT a comedy. This is a horror film and has rubbish writing unworthy of any amount of watching. Garbage like this should never make it past the desk of the production company project readers. Perhaps if Norm McDonald and Shappelle would learn from clean, decent, respectable comedies as the filmdom kingdom turned out until around the era of the 1980's, this film would not be seen as merely worthy of burning and banning... and McDonald and Shappelle should be glad this is not the medieval European days... they would have been executed by society.
Don't bother. Don't waste your time. Sit in the room with the TV off and count the ceiling tiles. That would be more entertaining.
Courting Alex (2006)
What was THAT?
Well, networks have to put something on. And when star directors like James Burrows (Cheers) and actresses fresh from perfect roles and sitcoms from the likes of Chuck Lorre's (Dharma and Greg) can't save the sinking ship, one knows there is a serious problem in Hollywood. Jenna did what she could in a soap romance comedy (they don't work at night) chick show (the guys are not in the room) and there was nothing wrong with the direction. But, there HAS to be something in the writing to direct. I think it is called...talent. Or funny would be nice too.
Yup, the writers killed the show. Or lack of writing. Fred Barron has a couple of great sitcoms in Dave's World and others...but what was he thinking here? Chuck Lorre went straight from Dharma and Greg to Two and a Half Men...arguably as funny or funnier than Dharma and Greg. Fred just did not get a right crew together here...the cast did not work well, the characters did not work well and were not credible, and the storyline was terrible. I knew it was doomed when my girlfriend liked it. The kiss of death. It was like scraps of other hit shows were thrown into a blender and Fred Barron came up with what you get when you mix scraps together in a blender...garbage.
