The Rising Son (2009)
Sounds funny to me!
I love religious parody and farce. I LOVED Adult Swim's "Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil"! "Moral Orel" is another successful Adult Swim show that pokes fun at religion. And I have a feeling this show will be great as well, although I haven't had a chance to see it yet.
People in this country seem to take religion too seriously. If Christians' faith is strong enough, they should be able to watch this show and laugh.
Adult Swim is known for it's unique shows and original premises. Their audience is made up of people who like their style of what might be called "alternative programming". This show definitely fits the brand.
The House of Yes (1997)
Play on Film
Perhaps what others have failed to realize about this movie is that it was adapted from a play. And unlike other films that have been adapted from plays, this film actually sticks to many of the techniques used in theater that are not usually used in film. The fast and witty dialogue. The sense of space. The lighting.
When I watch this film, I feel privileged. I feel like I'm in a theater watching Parker Posey and this amazing cast perform in front of me. If you don't like plays, then you won't like this movie.
It was very well done and features Parker Posey doing what she does best: being neurotic.
