They tried, but Steven Segal failed. Again everybody is trying to act (and is working hard) in this movie except Segal and DMX who I guess was cashing in a favor. The writers attempted to have the movie mean something, what with both the fathers raising shitcans, and one father/son pair being good and one bad, but Segal as a shadow director doesn’t understand those intricacies. Technically, above a B-movie in quality but still straight to streaming/DVD. Missing the creativity in editing from End of a Gun. I just realized something… Steven Segal didn’t end up fucking a 20-something or end up in a strip club. He’s learning.

Joel and Ethan Coen make another perfect movie after Fargo. For a movie where none of the three principal characters are never simultaneously on screen, they all have amazing charisma and work together really well. Unlike Fargo, this film doesn’t delve too much into the morality behind character motivations, chooses…

Prime Peep Show. The start of relative contemporary pop-culture references is how I’d best describe the current reviewed season of Peep Show, where the Gen Xers started to latch onto Gen Y to feel young again. Continuing past traditions, each episode has a stand out laugh-out-loud moment where I had…

Still in stride, but not at peak performance. Throughout the season, most people will remember the blatant hilarity of Mugging and the embarrassment of Quantocking, however I’ll mostly remember it for the season where Nancy disappeared and was replaced by Big Suze (after being referenced in Series 1 and 2)…

Another Steven Segal joint. This one is from the Steamroller Productions era, but wasn’t produced by them, and turns out better for it. There’s a distinct lack of laziness… everybody is trying to act (and is working hard) in this movie except Segal. Starring a former Brit-pop star and some…

It’s the The El Dude Brothers in full swing! The self-deprecating humor that Peep Show is known for moves into the forefront throughout this season, ramping up to full insanity in the season finale wedding episode — which by the end of the series became a 4th wall meme: The…

Pretty depressing movie, even taking into account the stylistic directing that attempted to have the shot composition appear as anime and the film embracing the Japanesque genre. The constant references to Alice In Wonderland are quite poignant, as the film follows the moral degeneration of each principal character. …

The beginning of something special. Effectively the British Generation X equivalent to Curb Your Enthusiasm, Peep Show focuses on situational humor between two characters (David Mitchell, Robert Webb) instead of solely on the lead. Psychologically the two characters are interdependent and personify id and ego. The situations in this first series are relatively tame in comparison to later seasons, but nonetheless each episode has a moment where I just burst out laughing.

An earlier Steven Segal film in the lazy era. Lot of Canadian and British actors in this film, lot of stunt doubles for Segal… when he was thinner and younger. Man this motherfucker is lazy. Anyway, Segal is a former CIA operative now working freelance for the highest bidder. Takes a job retrieving a package for some guy who gets killed off in less than 5 minutes of screen time, while avoiding CIA agents and his anthesis. Only thing really missing from his Steamroller Productions era films, is ogling women at a strip club.
