Rhinoceros (1974)
7/10
Weird but Good
22 February 2014
I saw this movie thinking it would be a wacky comedy because it had Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder in it (they were both in The Producers so I figured it would be that level of comedy with slapstick and obvious jokes). Instead this movie is not like that at all, it was a complete surprise with a bizarre story line. Gene Wilder plays a guy who starts hallucinating and seeing the people around him in his life and in his town actually turning into rhinoceroses (or is it rhinoceri I have no idea?) It is definitely strange to watch and it is definitely more of a satire and drama and a comment about society at the time in the 1970s than it was a straight up comedy but it's definitely worth watching and good, it will stick with you.

Single White Spenny (2011– )
3/10
Never Again
21 February 2014
I give this show a three mostly because I used to like Kenny vs Spenny so I will bump up the rating here. It is not the worst show ever made in the history of television like some of you are saying but it is definitely not a very good show at all. The writing on this show is the worst with tired old cliché situations and the worst jokes you can imagine, as if a public school writing class was doing it as a project. The acting is terrible too with Spenny pretty much just playing himself except he's dating and having sex with a lot of girls which (sorry Spenny) just does not come off as believable or original. I have no idea what they were even trying to accomplish with this show.

Mr. D (2012–2018)

I Didn't Like It
21 February 2014
I tried watching this show a few different times and watched it all the way through on two of those times but this show never made me laugh and I just did not enjoy any part of it. The star of the show is not funny and not with any redeeming value, I don't feel for his character or want him to succeed in any way. The bottom line to me is that this is a comedy show and it is supposed to make me laugh or at least smile but it never did. I don't know why this guy has a show on CBC or what "hilarious stage presentations" the other viewer is making reference to but even you did not like this show so I don't know why it is on the air. Just not a funny show.

WALL·E (2008)
5/10
Interesting
21 February 2014
I thought this movie was just OK so obviously I am in the minority on that, because most people definitely seem to love this movie. I thought parts of it were boring and the movie was kind of predictable but I guess if I was a kid or had kids I would have liked it a lot more. I didn't think the fat people in space were very funny, it just seemed like people were laughing at fat guys. The voices were pretty good. I liked how Wall- E looked but it reminds me a lot of the Johnny Five robot from the old Short Circuit movies as far as how he looked. Not sure what else to say, it's all just personal opinion I just didn't like this as much as Toy Story or older Disney movies.
