Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America

Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America Review



An edgy Stand-Up Comedy DVD from the notorious favorite of Chappelle's Show. Mooney is one of the most dangerous and brilliant comic minds today, and his live stand-up shows are not for those easily offended. Like Richard Pryor at his peak, Grammyr-nominated Paul Mooney speaks his mind, and his no-holds-barred approach to humor has captured a legion of devoted fans across the country. As a writer for Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy, Paul Mooney wrote break-through comedy that dug to the center of racism and social issues in America. Paul further extended his comedic skills, writing for Saturday Night Live, Sanford And Son, Good Times, The Richard Pryor Show, In Living Color, and many more! He also starred in such feature films as Spike Lee's Bamboozled as well as Hollywood Shuffle and Bustin' Loose. Uncensored and unbelievably funny, Paul Mooney's Analyzing White America takes on such diverse topics as 9/11, saying the "N" word, chubby white women and skinny black men, and much more with his razor-sharp wit and hilarious, biting observations. Special feature includes an exclusive 2005 interview with Paul Mooney hosted by actor/producer Tim Reid (WKRP in Cincinnati, Frank's Place).

Scarface (Caracortada) 2 Disc Special 25th Aniversary Edition [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America]

Scarface (Caracortada) 2 Disc Special 25th Aniversary Edition [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] Review



SYNOPSIS: Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, an exiled Cuban criminal who goes to work for Miami drug lord Robert Loggia. Montana rises to the top of Florida's crime chain, appropriating Loggia's cokehead mistress (Michelle Pfeiffer) in the process. Howard Hawks' "X Marks the Spot" motif in depicting the story line's many murders is dispensed with in the 1983 Scarface; instead, we are inundated with blood by the bucketful, especially in the now-infamous buzz saw scene. One carry-over from the original Scarface is Tony Montana's incestuous yearnings for his sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). The screenplay for the 1983 Scarface was written by Oliver Stone. SINOPSIS: Al Pacino protagoniza en este épico DVD de Edición Especial como el inolvidable Tony Montana, uno de los gangsters más despiadados jamás representados en el cine. Dirigida por el creador de varios éxitos Brian DePalma y producida por Martin Bregman quien llevó las dos eyendas de El Padrino a la pantalla, Caracortada sigue la violenta carrera de un insignificante matón y refugiado Cubano, quien llega a la cima del imperio de la cocaína en Miami. Con su intenso guión del ganador del Academy Award Oliver Stone, música por Giorgio Moroder, y un grandioso entretenimiento del estilo de vida latino de Miami, Caracortada se una a las filas de los grandes dramas del bajo mundo de Hollywood, mientras pone al desnudo el sórdido poder del ambiente de drogas en América.
