Lewis Black: In God We Rust (2012)
A B- Lewis Black is still better than most comedians A+++'s
Lewis Black is subdued and perhaps ill in this video. He looks thinner than normal.It doesn't have the energy of most of his concerts. There are cutout edits in the film that don't appear to be necessary. Guerilla comedy avant-garde editing? C'mon.
Still, there were some very funny bits and if you love Lewis Black like I do, it's worth a little over an hour to get 5 good minutes of Mr. Black. The routine was filmed in 2012, so some of the comedy is dated. Still, the observations are witty and I laughed out loud over a few of the pearls.
You've been warned.
The Bridge (2013)
I've seen trees with better personalities.
Dianne Kruger ruined the show immediately for me. Earbuds on a homicide detective? C'mon! But perhaps I was prejudging an otherwise wonderful show. It took "The Killing" more than a few minutes to develop into the extraordinary show that it has become.
So I gave Dianne a chance. After all, she might be playing an autistic detective. Temple Grandin with a badge.....with earbuds.
On the plus side, Demi'an Bichir is a fine actor. It's too bad they cast him with Kruger.
All in all, the concept is good but the acting isn't worth waiting to see whether a show can develop around it. If Kruger is supposed to have Asperger's, she doesn't carry it off very well. The interview of the husband fits, but arguing with Ruiz over the ambulance movement does not.
Nope. Doesn't work for me. I'll pass.
