A Comedian's Christmas List

Dear Santa (or Hanukkah Harry if you're Jewish see SNL Skit with Jon Lovitz),

This year I would like a microphone that will allow me to talk over the inconsiderate talkers at the bar during my set. I'd also like more stage time at places that want comedy there and not just a band or a sporting event on the tvs. I know I'm asking a lot and there are numerous comedians asking for the same things, but could you give me some really funny material so I can make that Eddie Murphy or Dane Cook money? I just really wanna quit my job and do something that I love with all of my heart and when I'm able to, I have a blast doing it.  Oh and the ability to take a joke when someone's "messing" with me.

            Thank you so much,

                   Every Comedian

Ps. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY HANUKKAH

This is just a goof, but you'll be able to realize I'm just messing after you get your gifts from Santa or Hanukkah Harry this year ;)

25 Days of Christmas: Day 3 and 4

Jingle All The Way is one of my favorite Christmas movies of all time. The story of a dad that means well but somehow ends up not doing the right thing finally becomes the hero of the day. The movie is a fun filled adventure of a father searching last minute for a toy that his son wants for Christmas. Definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it yet.

Day 4: Rushing to get the best gift you can for that special someone. Yes I admit that I'm like every other male and late shopper out there, I wait until the last minute. Sometimes I do it for the thril of being out and about during the shopping season, but mostly because of the paycheck I receive and having to wait. Oh well, it's still a Merry Christmas for all ;)

25 Days of Christmas: Day Two

My favorite gift as a child varied from year to year but I specifically remember a gift that made me scream with excitement: Snake Mountain from the Masters of the Universe toy series! I was a big He-Man fan and had a ton of the figures as a kid. Getting this gift along with other figures made that Christmas one to remember.

31 Days of Horror: The Lords Of Salem

Heidi, a blond rock chick, DJs at a local radio station, and together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster) forms part of the "Big H Radio Team." A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, a gift of the Lords. She assumes it's a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords' record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma. Later, Whitey plays the Lords' record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with his listeners. The arrival of another wooden box from the Lords presents the Big H team with free tickets, posters and records to host a gig in Salem. Soon, Heidi and her cohorts are far from the rock spectacle they're expecting. The original Lords of Salem are returning and they're out for blood.

31 Days of Horror: Christine

This movie was suggested by Carl W. from Knoxville Tennessee because he is a huge Stephen King fanas well as a huge car guy. Christine tells the story of a nerdy kid that has saved up his money and buys a car that mysteriously starts to change him. Friends become worried for him, believing he's going down a bad path and his parents practically disown him. Christine is all that he needs...

I watched Christine as a kid and it wasn't frightening to me. It does have some great scares, but nothing that (pardon the pun) jumps out at me.

31 Days of Horror: Henry - Portrait Of A Serial Killer

Henry is a serial killer that kills in different ways and takes on an apprentice of sorts in Otis, a pervert and bumbling idiot. Michael Rooker's performance in this film is great and I highly recommend this movie if you dig horror/terror type movies.

31 Days of Horror: Predator

A team of special force ops, led by a tough but fair soldier, Major "Dutch" Schaefer, are ordered in to assist CIA man, George Dillon, on a rescue mission for potential survivors of a Helicopter downed over remote South American jungle. Not long after they land, Dutch and his team discover that they have been sent in under false pretenses. This deception turns out to be the least of their worries though, when they find themselves being methodically hunted by something not of this world. I thought that this was an action movie but the skinned bodies of the other soldiers and the fear that the predator instilled in the group classified it as a horror movie... That and the IMDB.

31 Days of Horror: Vacancy

I had the opportunity to watch this movie before my phone died yesterday...

Vacancy is a suspenseful thriler that stars Kate Beckinsale better known for Underworld and Click (a personal favorite of mine) and Luke Wilson from such movies as The Royal Tenenbaums as well as Idiocracy.

The movie starts with the couple driving down the interstate and taking a secondary route that ends up getting them in a situation that is not too good. if you get a chance to check this movie out, do it!

31 Days of Horror: Cheerleader Massacre (2003)

This film was suggested by Debbie in Los Angeles, CA and she told me that some adult film stars were in this movie. I was surprised to see that there was and that I knew who they were. Does this mean I watch a lot of porn or does this mean I know a lot of porn stars? The answer is yes! LoL, but who better to be in a horror movie aimed at teenagers? The movie is good a bit slow in places but it's good.

31 Days of Horror: Nightstalker

This biopic of serial killer Richard Ramirez aka The Nightstalker and the film is set in the 1980's. There are some items that don't belong in the 1980's like a George Foreman Grill and others. It drags along and the killing scenes are a bit lacking. All in all, not a great movie but I'm sure Ramirez is happy with it...

31 Days of Horror: Hatchet

Melissa Dobbs of Knoxville, Tenn. suggested this film about Victor Crowley, a disfigured man that haunts the Louisiana bayous and will kill anyone that crosses his path.

The beginning of the film starts off slow but it certainly picks up after the origin story of our killer is told. This is Kane Hodder at his best and the rest of the cast makes the film a complete thrill ride.

31 Days of Horror: From Dusk Till Dawn

The 1996 Robert Rodriguez vampire film is one of my favorites and it shows George Clooney as a "bad guy". Salma Hayek was always hot but this movie made her extremely hot in my opinion. Legendary special fx artist Tom Savini is in this movie as well. I can't express how cool this movie is without repeating myself over and over.

31 Days of Horror: The Silence Of The Lambs

The movie that scared me the most was an unlikely crime and suspense movie by the name of The Silence Of The Lambs. I was with some friends from church and we went to see this... Well I watched the movie while they made out two rows behind me. Teenagers, what can you say? Anyway, the movie grabbed a hold of me and wouldn't let go. The story follows Clarice Starling, an FBI agent who has to enlist the services of the monstrous serial killer: Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. Sounds like a wrestling moniker but it's not. There's a killer on the loose and Clarice has to face her demons to interact with Dr. Lecter. A great movie and definitely Dean's List Approved!

31 Days of Horror: The Lawnmower Man

Back in 1992, a science fiction/horror movie by the name of The Lawnmower Man took theaters by storm. The story is about a greenskeeper that has a learning disability and a doctor that arranges for him to find a way to become smarter. Over time, the greenskeeper becomes smarter than ever and darker more grim than how he was before. The groundskeeper joins with the machine and becomes "pure energy". The movie is a bit dated now but still very good.

31 Days of Horror: Disturbing Behavior

Suggested by Kate (didn't include her last name) in Knoxville Tn, this 1998 suspense/horror film updates the "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" for a new generation. Set in a small town named Cradle Bay our story follows Steve Clark, a high school student fresh from the city and befriends three "outcasts" Gavin, UV and Rachel. Gavin and UV explain the different cliques in the school and the "strangeness" that has been going on recently. A group called the "Blue Ribbons" seem to have it all and when a known "rebel" joins these "1950-esque" teens, things start to get even weirder. I enjoyed this movie when it first came out and was dating a girl that looked like Katie Holmes' character "Rachel" at the time so the movie takes me back a bit.

31 Days of Horror: American Mary

A med school student wanting to become a surgeon becomes the best body modification artists for hire in this wonderfully artistic horror film. The "Twisted Twins" (Jen and Sylvia Soska) deliver an awesome and suspenseful movie that stars Katharine Isabelle as Mary Mason, a struggling med student with mounting education debt, finds herself in the wrong place at the right time and becomes a surgeon for hire. The movie is great and I found myself lost completely in the movie, which is a good thing in my book! The story is captivating and delivers with very little gore. I watched this on Netflix and because it was so masterfully done, I will own this movie!
