#10. I Am Comic is a documentary, giving stand-up comics an outlet to discuss their craft, and the occupational hazards that accompany telling jokes. I am fascinated by the stand-up comic. Since I was a teenager I have followed comedians, memorized their routines, and studied their habits. I remember watching Eddie Murphy's Delirious when I was about 10 and went to school the next day trying to pass off his jokes as my own. I am more than excited for I Am Comic, check the trailer and tell me if you think it looks good.
#9. Out of all the masterpieces the Coen Brothers have given us, I believe their first effort, 1985's Blood Simple is still my favorite. It is traditional noir, hard-boiled murder story that is set in a dreary nameless Texas town. A Woman, A Gun, and a Noodle Shop is a chinese remake of the Coen classic, and I for one cannot wait to see what Yimou Zhang (Hero) can do with such a simple, yet fantastically dark premise.
