George Carlin - 40 Years Of Comedy (1997) [Video]
George Carlin - 40 years of comedyVezi mai multe video Haioase If you see one George Carlin special, make sure it’s this. This is a re-cap of his career that was done in 1997 and hosted by Jon Stewart. Clips of some of Carlin’s most lege...
Jesus Camp (2006) [Movie]
As I may have mentioned before, I once attended a Christian camp (even though I grew up Muslim, my parents insisted that I go since it wasn’t supposed to be very religious). Once I got there I realized that my parents were wrong- the camp was ...
Hell House (2001) [Movie]
I was invited to a Hell House back in Middle School, but THANKFULLY I didn’t go to it. After seeing this documentary, I realized that Hell Houses are basically another scared-straight method of pushing vulnerable kids into converting. Basically...
Klass (2007) (With English Subs) [Movie]
Here’s a movie that addresses both subjects of school bullying AND school shootings. Even though it’s not as good as Bully or Zero Day, it’s got some good acting and it’s a film that does finally show that school shootings do...
Requiem For A Dream (2000) [Movie]
Requiem For a Dream is one of those movies that you just need to see once. In fact, after I saw this movie I felt soo drained that I didn’t want to watch any other movies for the remainder of the week. I don’t think I’ve seen a movi...
Middle Of Nowhere (2008) [Movie]
(yes this movie is in English, I could only find the German DVD cover though) Middle of Nowhere is an indie movie that reminded me a lot of The Wackness, but without the hip-hop. In other words, it’s a teenage summer romance about a guy who sel...
Stop-Loss (2008) [Movie]
When a soldier gets stop-lossed, it basically means that they got re-drafted. They served their required term, but have to report back to the army after a certain period of time. Technically, it’s a sneaky way of illegally drafting soldiers, on...
Big Girls Don’t Cry (2002) [Movie]
Let me first start off by saying that this movie is an absolute WASTE of time. The trailer contains all the good parts of the film and makes it look good, but I assure you that it’s pretty predictable and boring. There are so many other better ...
8 Mile (2002) [Movie]
I got this requested a LOOONG time ago (sorry KillaB) and I’m just now getting to it. 8 Mile came out in 2002 and became the number one movie in America. At the same time Eminem had the number one hit song (Lose Yourself) and the number one alb...
Pleasantville (1998) [Movie]
I just love movies where it only takes a few people to fuck everything up. Pleasantville is one of those teen movies, but it’s deeper than you think. For example, when the girl in the movie has sex with other guys they turn from black and white...
Bart Got A Room (2009) [Movie]
I’ll admit it, I never got a prom date. Don’t get me wrong, I knew a few girls who I knew would go with me…but they were either obnoxiously geeky or fat. So I just went with some friends and ended up having an ok time. This movie wo...
Adventureland (2009) [Movie]
I wanted to see Adventureland in the theatres because I heard it was from the director of Superbad, so I just HAD to watch it. But by the time I got around to it, all the movie theaters near my house didn’t have it playing anymore (probably bec...
The People vs. Larry Flynt (1996) [Movie]
When Larry Flynt started Hustler Magazine, he got a lot of shit for it. Nudity, back then, was of course frowned upon and even though strip clubs were legal they weren’t glorified as they are today in music videos. I mean, SHIT, the dude got sh...
Uncle Buck (1989) [Movie]
People always say I’ll probably be a cool uncle when I grow up, hopefully I’ll be as cool as Uncle Buck in this John Hughes (the dude to make Breakfast Club) movie. This movie has everything: teen angst, a party scene, and embarrassing fa...
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) [Movie]
John Hughes movies were playing on TV today, and it just reminded me that I forgot to share this classic film about skipping school. Sure, it has tons unrealistic moments, but that’s what makes it fun. I only wish it wasn’t so damn hard t...
The Union: The Business Behing Getting High (2008) [Movie]
So I got a summer job the other day (pays minimum wage wooohooo) and one of the first things they asked me to do was take a drug test. Needless to say, I agreed but was freaking out inside because I had some mary j brownies on the 1st of the month an...
Little Miss Sunshine (2006) [Movie]
This dramedy movie gets better every time I see it (ok, I’ve only seen it twice, but it’s true). The dialogue is so real it’s almost like the writer spied on my family to inspire some of these characters. The music is great too. If ...
Blink-182 - The Urethra Chronicles [Documentary]
Words can’t describe how happy I was when I heard Blink-182 got back together! I seriously can’t WAIT until they come to my city cuz i’ll go friggin CRAZY at the concert!!! This documentary gives an insight to blink-182 like never b...
The Art Of Kissing [Movie]
Someone requested this and I’m GLAD they did because this video is the ULTIMATE guide to kissing! It goes in depth with “How To Kiss” and “How To French Kiss” as well as other useful facts that guys and girls might need ...
Boys Don’t Cry (1999) [Movie + Song]
This is a very hard movie to watch. It’s about real events that occurred to a transgender called Brandon (played by Hilary Swank). To be honest, the only reason I watched this movie was because I saw the very hot clip of Chloe Sevigny moaning f...
Lilya 4-ever (w/ English Subs Embedded) (2002) [Movie]
I’ve wanted to share this movie for a long time with you guys, but I didn’t think a lot of you were mentally prepared for such a disturbing film. This movie is a fictional account of what some sex slaves go through, however the subject of...
Elephant (2003) [Movie]
A lot of people get pissed off when I say I don’t like this movie. Well, guess what? I DON’T FUCKING LIKE IT! It’s not as if it were the REAL Columbine events or anything- in fact, it’s a pretty boring movie overall. Just lots...
Everybody’s Doing It (2002) [Movie]
I’ll admit, this movie doesn’t have the best acting in it at times (it’s made by MTV for fuck sake), but it was requested and it does bring up an important point that promising not to have sex or “abstinence” as the chur...
The Graduate (1967) [Movie]
Personally I think this movie is overrated (yeah, I KNOW it was the first movie to have a young student and an older woman having an affair) but a lot of people think this movie is a classic. I saw it in my film class and enjoyed a few awkward laughs...
Risky Business (1983) [Movie]
If it weren’t for this movie, it’s safe to say Tom Cruise wouldn’t have had such a successful career. The plot revolves around him being a rich high school student. When his parents go on vacation he hires a prostitute, drives his d...
The Education of Shelby Knox (2005) [Movie]
“Don’t want an STD? Don’t have sex!” Yeah, well sometimes it’s not that easy. This is an amazing documentary about the girl Shelby Knox, a high schooler who grew up in Lubbock, Texas. What’s so special about Lubboc...
Skipped Parts (2000) [Movie]
Sex at 14? Well, it didn’t happen to me, but it DOES happen. This is a classic example of a movie that SHOULD have been rated PG-13 but was rated R because those MPAA dildos didn’t like young teens talking about sex in a movie. Well, ok, ...
The Wackness (2008) [Movie]
I don’t usually share new movies, but for this one I’m making an exception. It has to be one of the best romance movies I’ve seen in a while (and trust me, I HATE 99% of cheesy romance movies). Basically, the plot centers around thi...
This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006) [Movie]
As I stated before, I was going to start making posts focusing on the subject of sex. Well, to kick it off I’m going to share this insightful documentary which points out everything that is wrong with Hollywood and why I hate most mainstream mo...
La Haine (w/ English Subtitles Embedded) (1995) [Movie]
La Haine is probably the BEST (and only lol) French movie that I’ve ever seen. Hell, we saw it in film class as an example of ‘European Art Cenima’ (even though it has a lot of violence and swearing it’s college so they let an...
