HILARIOUS!
I had always despised ventriloquists and mimes. I mean, ewwww. Jeff Dunham and his alter egos are making me rethink my previous opinions. I was home, sick, and put this on my computer (don't know how I found it, probably recommended because I appreciate edgy humor.) It was the highlight of my sickly day, maybe the week! Now I want to go see him in person. Funny, smart and politically incorrect. Loved ACCCHHmed the Dead Terrorist. One day, "SILENCE! I will KEELL you!" will be as well known as "Where's the beef?" And now I have dated myself. Oh well. Get this video and have a ball laughing. It will add a year or so to your life.

Any Given Sunday Review
It's too easy to take pot shots at Oliver Stone, his filmmaking style, his excessive use of well, pretty much everything. Criticisms of Stone's cliché's pretty much have become the realm of cliché themselves. I've read a number of reviews by "sports fans" who hate this movie because they are "sports fans." I'm not buying it. I'm a sports fan (a fairly rabid one at that) and I loved this film, warts and all. Complaints of perceived non-linear storytelling don't matter to me in this type of movie. It's ALL about the Crash Boom! Anyone who's played professional sports (most of all NFL) will tell you the game today does closely resemble a video war game. From the initial drafting to the big business, high expectations, marketing frenzy and ownership/management chaos to player conceits, familial expectations, and tribulations both marital and extra marital, Stone's movie doesn't flinch. Climb on board, and you find yourself on an unrelenting, entertaining, frustrating, and ultimately exhilarating roller coaster ride that you'll disembark from with a wink and a smile. I'm not always (or often) a fan of Oliver Stone - but here, his chaotic, frenzied style, slamming camera angles, use of loud, percussive music and rap feel like life itself: fast, dangerous, sometimes predictable but often off kilter. His style serves a vision of the All American game as few others before him have. He here captures the feeling of the "business" of football with ferocious artistic integrity and vision, if not necessarily with the accuracy some fan's may wish. Frankly, I don't care for accuracy either historical or technical in film, my only demand is "entertain me." Any Given Sunday entertains and that's what I expect most from a movie.
