BASEketball, a review by Rich


BASEketball



From the creators of the Naked Gun films, and starring the creators of the South Park series, comes a spoof of sports and business and anything else that can draw a hearty laugh. Two best friends (Trey Parker and Matt Stone) create "baseketball"--a sport that combines baseball and basketball--and when their silly idea catches on, they are thrust in the spotlight and become media darlings, much to their chagrin.

Dreadful film, who in their right mind could find anything amusing about this rubbish??
Infantile and crude, there are all misses and no hits, and I cannot find one good thing to mention about this pathetic attempt at a comedy.
I am surprised anyone who worked on this film is not shamed into disowning it.

My Thoughts:
I have seen in other reviews that this movie is not that much liked compared to the series and first movie. I personally enjoyed it. No... this one doesn't have anything to do with the mythology of the X-Files... but that is something I liked about it. I have always been a bigger fan of the stand alone "freak of the week" episodes. And that is what this movie feels like to me. Sure it could have been better. But I really don't have any complaints. This is the first time I have seen Billy Connolly in many years. The last thing I remember seeing him in was Head of the Class when he took over for Howard Hesseman as the teacher. And wow... did he change. But I would guess so... after all we are talking a good 20 years here. Even though he didn't look familiar at all I knew exactly who he was just from his voice. After the movie I checked out the gag reel. As that is normally my favorite extra on movies.  Well unfortunately not this time. I didn't even make it all the way through the entire gag reel.  It just didn't give me any laughs. The majority of the beginning was nothing more then the actors slipping in the snow. oh well... at least I enjoyed the movie.

My Rating:
Out of a Possible 5

Tom's Glee Marathon, a review by Tom


Glee
Season 1.14 Hell-O
Writer: Ryan Murphy (Created By), Brad Falchuk (Created By), Ian Brennan (Created By), Ian Brennan (Writer)
Director: Brad Falchuk
Cast: Dianna Agron (Quinn Fabray), Chris Colfer (Kurt Hummel), Jessalyn Gilsig (Terri Schuester), Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester), Jayma Mays (Emma Pillsbury), Kevin McHale (Arty Abrams), Lea Michele (Rachel Berry), Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson), Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester), Amber Riley (Mercedes Jones), Mark Salling (Noah "Puck" Puckerman), Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina Cohen-Chang), Jonathan Groff (Jesse St. James), Idina Menzel (Shelby Corcoran), Iqbal Theba (Principal Figgins), Patrick Gallagher (Ken Tanaka), Naya Rivera (Santana Lopez), James Earl (Azimio), Josh Sussman (Jacob Ben Israel), Max Adler (Dave Karofsky), Heather Morris (Brittany Pierce), Harry Shum, Jr. (Mike Chang), Dijon Talton (Matt Rutherford), Jeanine Anderson (Waitress), Ayla Rose Barreau (Dottie Westerton), Ashley Fink (Lauren Zizes), Hayley Holmes (Liz Schneider)

The first episode after the season got extended to a full season. As these episodes were produced later, they already knew what the fans liked and what not. There is a slight shift in the editing style now. Also the roles of Santana and Brittany is enlarged.

Brittana:
They can be seen pinkie holding. Also they go to a date together with Finn (ordered by Sue so that they try to get him to break up with Rachel) and it is funny how they make fun of him in front of him.

Notable music:
The theme of the episode is songs with "Hello" in the title. There are some nice song performances. But I like Rachel's "Gives You Hell" best (she was pissed of and chose a song which only had the first syllable of "Hello" in the title). I hate it that it suddenly so hard to find Glee clips on YouTube. Either they are badly cropped (so that YouTube's auto-detectors do not find them so easily), or it is only audio. I found only the audio-only version of this song:
