What's New? A DVD Review of: Like Water for Chocolate

The Dude on the Right let his BFF recommend some DVD viewing, so he watched (and read), and reviews, the movie "Like Water for Chocolate," complete with subtitles.  He realizes it is really a dudette-flick, but he enjoyed it anyway, because even though things get kind of strange, like a spontaneously combusting outhouse and a vindictive ghost, the story is nice, it made him dream about Mexican food, and sometimes he can appreciate a well-made foreign film.

What's New? A DVD Review of "Baby Mama."

Is "Baby Mama" a movie for the dudes?  Well, The Dude on the Right saw the movie in the theater, and now does his DVD review of "Baby Mama," and he still thinks most dudes will find it funny.  It's pretty obvious the dudettes will find it funny, because, well, it's about dudette stuff, and the dudettes could easily use this movie as an excuse to have a dudette posse party, watching a funny movie a lot of them can relate with, but hopefully their dude isn't really like Carl (the Dax Shepard character).

Tina Fey is on a roll, with her Emmy Award winning show "30 Rock," and if John McCain dies, leaving Sarah Palin as President, and then Sarah has a brain aneurism, Tina could actually be the next President of the United States, in disguise, much like Dave became the President in the movie "Dave," and we wouldn't even know it.  Wow, that last comment isn't even about the DVD "Baby Mama."  You know what, just rent the damn thing - The Dude on the Right says that it's funny.

What's New? A DVD Review of "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With."

The Dude on the Right was going to save this review of "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With" for a rainy day, just to get something posted, but right now he is so sucked back into the Fall TV season, well, it might as well be a rainy day.  So here is his posted review of the DVD, where more people than he can recognize are actually in this movie, but to name two, Jeff Garlin (duh, he wrote, directed and starred in it), and Steve Dahl (unless you live in Chicago you might say "Who?") have big or small parts, but hey, if you are a fan of Sarah Silverman, and want to see her in some slinky lingerie, this movie will probably be worth the rental, just to, well, see Sarah Silverman in slinky lingerie.

The Dude does find the movie funny, in terms of dialogue, but also thinks the movie drags a bit, even though he still thinks it's funny.  The Dude is really confused.

The DVD Review Catch-Ups Have Begun!

By: The Dude on the Right
As I work into the realm of getting more DVD review copies to, well, review, I took it upon myself this week to work on catching up on some that I got sent to me in the last month or so.  So, without further ado, DVD reviews have been posted recently of the made-for-TV version of "The Andromeda Strain" (it's so a TV movie, with lots of plot able to be solved in the last few minutes of the DVD and "here would be a commercial break" moments), "The Lather Effect," (which in urban slang mode should have been called "The Shampoo Effect," and has a whole lot of talking and doesn't give you the greatest song ever, though it works for the movie), and "It's A Boy Girl Thing," (a "trading bodies" movie with every cliché you can imagine yet still gives some fun parts).  I've got a couple of horror movie DVD's to finish up, one about traveling that I got out of the blue, and then it's to my Netflix queue and hopefully a return to reviewing all of the CD's and videos I have.

That's it for this one!  I'm The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

What's New? A Podcast of: A "The Swell Season" Preview, Meeting Family, The Bachelorette, and Missing "Nessun Dorma" on "America's Got Talent."

The Dude on the Right could really use a nap before this podcast about, mainly, going to see "The Swell Season," especially since getting back home was past his normal bedtime, but that's not important because this podcast isn't a full review of the show, just a quick blip at his still liking the folks from the movie "Once." The Dude also talks about some BFF family stuff, he's still watching "The Bachelorette," and is bummed he missed the premier of "America's Got Talent" where some dude did a great version of "Nessun Dorma" from Puccini's Turandot, complete with Jerry Springer interrupting it, because, well, it's on TV.

What's New? DVD reviews of "Juno" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."

By: The Dude on the Right
I don't know if Stu Gotz and I will get together for a "Weekend Wrap-up!" podcast tomorrow, but I do know my weekend was filled with, well, I actually realized that my Dude-pad is filled up with too much stuff! It's almost like I need to create my own "eBay Store," only selling stuff I own, but now that eBay and Paypal changed the way people get paid, I don't know if it will actually be worth it, or if I should just throw the stuff out. Thinking about it, who would actually want a 3 1/2" floppy containing my original outline for a movie I envisioned back in, like 1989ish, a pair of pants that are too big for me and are a little bit worn, or a "Southern Comfort" flag? Tonight, though, are the Academy of Country Music Awards, and it kicked off with Carrie Underwood putting nearly every other "American Idol" to shame, and Reba McEntire letting her writers bring on the funny, even making funny of Roger Clemens (the joke, it was funny). Today, though, other than realizing I have too much stuff, I did accomplish DVD reviews of "Juno" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun." Now if I could only figure out what to do with a giant, foam, cowboy hat.

That's it for this one!  I'm The Dude on the Right!!  L8R!!!

What's New? A Podcast of: Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-Up! Golf, Movies, Religion and More!

Stu Gotz had some questions about religion for this podcast episode of "Stu & The Dude's Weekend Wrap-up!", part of it related to priests, and part of it developed because of the news of Pope Benedict coming to the United States. Maybe Stu should forget about religion and just worry about the best way to raise the little Gotz's. The Dude on the Right gives his two cents about religion, wonders about the dislike of "Scooby Doo," but for The Dude, well, his weekend was filled with watching golf and a buttload of movies. Such is another weekend for Stu & The Dude.

What's New? A DVD Review of "Enchanted."

So it's been a little while since "Enchanted" hit the movie theaters, but he put the DVD in his Netflix queue and decided to review it. As a whole he really liked the movie, thought Amy Adams was perfect in the role of Giselle, and thinks it might also melt the hearts of dudes who only like movies where things blow up. Even if you don't have kids you will probably still like it, and although most of the extras on the DVD he found boring, the "making of" stuff fascinated The Dude.

What's New? A DVD Review of "Steep."

The Dude on the Right doesn't ski, but after watching the DVD documentary called "Steep," he does have an appreciation for the extreme skiers spotlighted during the movie. He also liked the scenery shot during the film, he also was fascinated by the use of cable cams to do some of the filming, and even though the documentary fascinated him, there is still no way he is slapping on thin strips of wood to the bottom of his feet.
