Movie Reviews of Lewis Black - Unleashed
Movie Review: Awesomeness
Summary: 5 Stars
Lewis Black is a God. Not only is he funny, but there are valid points to his insane babble.Movie Review: Great compilation
Summary: 4 Stars
For those of you that enjoy Lewis Black, you should definitely enjoy this DVD. If you are unsure of whether or not you like him, the price is definitely worth taking the chance. You will get almost 2 hours worth of very funny sketches and supporting material from one of America's funniest 'angry' comics.
It is a collection of three of his shows on Comedy Central, but they are only 30 minute segments. The extras are pretty nice, though, with his complete coverage of Indecision 2000 for the Daily Show. It also includes two 'Shorties,' namely a segment from Colin Quinn's and a song by Stephen Lynch. Quinn's show was not as funny as I would have hoped, but Lynch's song is outrageously humorous (even though I had heard it before).
A brief warning for those who do not know. Lewis Black can sometimes use coarse language and while his main sketches are 99.99% devoid of such words, on the extras and in a few other locations, a word does slip out. Just a precaution in case you have kids or do not prefer swearing yourself. If you don't mind and know what you are getting into, you'll absolutely love this DVD, save that it perhaps could have been longer.
Movie Review: Ranty! Topical! Hilarious!
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD contains four of Mr. Black's comedy central specials, including the 2000 Comedy Central Presents which Comedy Central never seems to run anymore after 9/11 (though, it seems as though the offending terrorism joke has been cut from it... which makes me wonder why they still never run it on the air...).Indeed, he largely censors himself for these originally television specials, but I truly don't feel that hinders it. Lewis Black is incredibly good at being funny with or without dirty words. What makes Lewis Black funny is the ranty, crushing wit he brings. Granted, he's funny when he curses a lot. But he's also funny when he doesn't.
The Indecision 2000 clips in the special features were great as well.
I highly recommend this DVD for Lewis Black fans, or just fans of good, intelligent comedy.
Movie Review: If it wasn't for my horse ........
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a huge fan of Lewis Black. I have watched him on Comedy Central for years now and love to catch his bits on the Daily Show. Definitly a creative genius, a bit hyper and unstabel, but still a genius.This DVD has several of his stand-up performances from Comedy Central, the best is the entitled "the End". His take on the Super Bowl was a classic.
I have heard some of his audio stand-up routines and it's true they are funnier, likely because he can curse on those. He holds back a little in the DVD, but it was for cable television so it's understandable why. That would be the only downfall, the lack of cursing. Otherwise this DVD is a must for any fan of stand-up comedy.
Movie Review: Lewis Black - Unleashed, but censored
Summary: 4 Stars
I am a big fan of Lewis Black and try to catch his specials regardless of time or channel. This is a collection of 3 specials that aired on Comedy Central, two 30 minutes specials and a one hour special. While this is some of Lewis's best know work, it only touches on the greatness of his comedy style. Being that these specials were recorded for basic cable programing, they are un-censored, but the tone of them is pulled back some. This belongs in the DVD collection of any Lewis Black fan, but don't expect the full force or Lewis.
