Stretch and Bobbito: Radio That Changed Lives (2015)

Stretch and Bobbito was HANDS DOWN the best Hip Hop radio show of all time & this AMAZING DOC shows why

[10/10 · 2 November 2015]

This show was not only hilarious, real, raw, and groundbreaking but when you see the list of Emcees they broke to the masses or at least put on radio in NY for the first time ever it shows you they knew what was dope and only cared about what was dope/fresh, not what was marketable b-c from 1990-98 that stuff didn't matter NEARLY as much and even if it did Stretch and Bob didn't care.

Nas, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Big L, Jay-Z, Big Pun, Eminem, Pharoahe Monch, Black Thought, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Common, Lord Finesse, Redman, Souls of Mischief, and MANY more. Anyone who knows great hiphop knows that the Emcees i just listed are all ELITE GOAT Emcees and they also brought on legends from 80s like Kool G Rap, KRS-One, Qtip (Tribe), etc.

Amazing doc and amazing radio show. Even if you don't like HipHop this movie is enthralling/engrossing, never boring with great cinematography!

The Big Lebowski (1998)

One of the best comedies/enteraining/unique movies EVER

[10/10 · 15 April 2011]

This movie is hilarious. It has an awesome story, great soundtrack, amazing performances all around (Especially Goodman/Daniels) and has unlimited replay value.

Simply put if you consider yourself funny or have a good sense of humor, this movie will make you laugh. Having dabbled in chronic doesn't hurt either.

This is mos def in my top 25 ever! Goodfellas, Godfather, City of God, Shawshank Redemption, Godfather 2, Taxi Driver, Casablanca, Big Lebowski, Lives of Others, Pulp Fiction, Apocalypse Now, Jaws, Munich, Pinocchio, Bambi, Gone w/ The Wind, Animal House, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon/House of Flying Daggers, A Prophet, The Incredibles, Hoosiers, District 9, Heat, & Seven

City of God (2002)

Plain and simple...

[10/10 · 15 April 2011]

This is one of my favorite movies of all time (In my top 15 for sure). I remember seeing it at an art-house with my brother in 2003 and leaving the theater thinking it was the best film I had ever seen.

Cinematography, storytelling (in a goodfellas kinda way), violence, caring about the characters, all types of emotions, directing, uniqueness, were all TOP NOTCH.

PHENOMENAL MOVIE: OTHER FAVS INCLUDE: Goodfellas, Godfather 1/2, Pulp Fiction, Big Lebowski, Lives of Others, Casablanca, A Prophet, Shawshank Redemption, Pinocchio/Bambi, Animal House, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon/House of Flying Daggers to name a few

A Prophet (2009)

Felt like a CLASSIC

[10/10 · 7 April 2010]

Rarely get a feeling like that when watching a movie. Felt the same way after Lives of Others, City of God, Pans Labyrinth, Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction,The Dark Knight, Shawshank Redemption,Trainspotting,Slumdog Millionaire (saw it before the hype) Goodfellas, Godfather/Godfather 2, District 9 to name a few. GREAT acting by the 2 main leads, great direction/cinematography, great moments of violence/bravado, etc. There is much more character development than I thought there would be going in. I cannot wait for this to come out on bluray in the US. Go see this in theaters ASAP!

Not sure how anyone with a pulse wouldn't at least admit this is AT WORST a very good film let alone a masterpiece for its genre.

Comedy Central Presents: Sebastian Maniscalco (2008) Season 12, Episode 4

Hilarious...

[10/10 · 22 January 2008]

This dude is absolutely HILARIOUS (or at least this 2008 Comedy Central Presents gig is)! I've been DVRing a ton of stand up lately on comedy central and HBO and he's EASILY one of the funniest out there. Brian Reagan, Sebastian Maniscalco, Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld, Dave Chapelle, Ellen Degeneress, Dave Attel, Pablo Francisco, George Carlin, David Cross/Bob Odenkirk (HBO's Mr Show), Eddie Murphy (even though he basically stole Pryor's act), Jim Gaffigan, Nick Swardson, Steve Carell and Will Ferrell are some of my favorite comedians.

This gig is classic. His Chicago accent, slow buildup delivery, and annoyance with everything is simply hilarious. Great facial expressions, comedic timing/tone, and topical bits! Peep it!

He's about to be in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Tour movie which comes up Feb 08. Don't know much about this movie, but I do know that Sebastian Maniscalco's 2008 comedy central presents is hysterical.
