Pootie Tang (2001) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't let the title lead you astray! This is NOT one of those gross-out sex movies that are all the rage at the metroplex. In fact, the title is the only offensive thing about the whole picture!
I went into this movie thinking it was going to be one of those "so bad it's good" movies. So you can imagine my surprise when I started laughing and couldn't stop until the final scene of the movie. It's nonsense. It's a joyful, daffy comedy. I mean, can you resist a movie with lines like, "Nobody could ever understand what Pootie was saying, but man, he sure was cool"? The characters and situations are over the top, but the actors are 100% committed to line after ridiculous line that it SOARS. It's one of those comedies that makes you think, "Why don't they make em like this anymore?"
The REAL star of this show, however, is Wanda Sykes who plays Pootie's gal Biggie Shorty, who "dresses up all nice and dances on the street next to a buncha ho's" (but that doesn't mean she's hookin'). She walks away with the whole picture. Chris Rock gives her some tough competition as a radio DJ and as Pootie's father, as does Jennifer Coolidge who plays the super-ho Ireenie, but in the end, Biggie Shorty is the star.
I'm speechless. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And this coming from a guy whose favorite movies are CITIZEN KANE and CASABLANCA.

Hustle: The Complete Seasons 1-4 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This series with its slick production values and plots that keeps your brain engaged is a rarity in the world of series television. I have to admit it I am a dyed in the wool Anglophile and this show was a delight, sassy and set in London what more could I want ? Each of the characters in this "family" of grifters is distinct and wonderful to watch in action. From Mickey who is so cool and suave that you expect that just to be near him your temp would drop ! Stacie who charms the socks off of every man she meets, Danny who is so much fun to watch since he is his own greatest fan, Ash who pulls equipment and skills out of thin air and finally to Albert who shows that cool can age gracefully , these folks are fun to watch. Never assume that they are the bad guys since from the first episode they remind you that you can't cheat an honest man and they spend episode after episode helping right some wrongs and lining their pockets - treat yourself right buy the whole series - and sit down and have a mini-marathon - You won't regret it !

The art of the con is not dead. You merely can't see it. If you do see it, then it is inevitably always too late. It is an invisible crime built on the premise of finding some one who wants something for nothing and then giving them nothing for something. Choose the mark, reel them in, play on their desires and set them up. It doesn't matter whether they're black or white, male or female but they must be strictly major league. There are no quick fixes. Patience is truly a virtue in this game. All you have to do is make them believe... If you're rich, greedy, a taker... then beware! This team is driven to extract the cash from the amoral and the undeserving. They don't just con anyone and they aren't interested in your life savings. They have one golden rule: you can never con an honest man. They are con artists with a conscience. The marks are people we love to hate and can't wait to see being taken down a peg or two.
