Another Pointless List of Every Movie I Watched Last Year - 2014 Edition

Man, I watched a lot of Super Hero movies this year!

Edited 2/5/2015: Per request by a reader, I have added the date of each screening and took it one step further and also added the venue or source for each film. DVDs from Netflix are labeled Netflix DVD, while Netflix is used for films streamed through their service. Simply DVD is used for films from my own personal library.

Atlantic City is Allegedly Always Turned On

I had a blast in Atlantic City, NJ this past weekend with my good friend Kevin. As I mentioned Friday, we went up to see one of our comedy idols Don Rickles perform live at the Borgata Casino. The show was fantastic as expected. He performed in The Music Box theatre which is a small 1,000 seat auditorium. Before Rickles came out, singer Tony DeSare entertained with classic tunes and voice that was at times a dead ringer for Frank Sinatra. He put on a very entertaining set, singing some modern songs like Prince's Kiss and also Springstein's Fire - both in a jazzy new arrangement. When Don Rickles took the stage, the crowd was on their feet to welcome the entertainment legend. Mr. Rickles sang, danced, told jokes and most importantly yelled and ridiculed the audience. It was a fantastic evening. I snapped a handful of pictures, as nobody was really enforcing the "No Flash Photography" rule. He never did get around to picking on Kevin and I, as we had hoped. But we still laughed ourselves silly.

I'm also giving a "thumbs up" plug to two places we ate at: The French Quarter Buffet at Showboat and the Fiesta Buffet breakfast at Tropicana. Both of these venues are high quality buffets with plentiful choices of very good food.

It's long been a dream of my buddy Kevin and I to see legendary comic Don Rickles perform live. Tonight we're heading up to Atlantic City, NJ to finally make that dream a reality. What would be the icing on the cake is for Mr. Rickles to direct a couple of his hilarious insults in our direction. And with 5th row tickets, we're hoping we've got an above average chance of making that dream also a reality.

Here's Rickles on Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday night, obviously in the area for his gig this weekend in NJ.

There's tons of great clips of Don Rickles online. Below is the video for Mr. Warmth performing at Ronald Regan's second inaguration in 1985.

Betty White + SNL = Awesome!

SNL Recap 4/10/10 - Tina Fey

On any given Sunday that follows a night where a new Saturday Night Live debuted, you can be guaranteed that the internet will be filled with recaps and reviews of the the previous night's episode. Last night former SNL head writer Tina Fey hosted, along with something called a Justin Bieber as the musical guest. The show was fantastic and filled with great SNL moments, some will be future classics. Instead of adding my own review to the heap that's been posted in the last few hours, I'll post a link to (of all places) The Wall Street Journal for a recap that features videos of a few of the great skits.

I also really liked Keenan Thompson's Al Roker impression:

New Stand Up From Joey

First of all, check out this totally 1985 dinosaur painters cap that Joey picked up at the Dinosaur Land gift shop this week. Wow!

Anyhow, you may remember back in February I mentioned that my stepson Joey had done his stand-up comedy act at a benefit variety show that was held at his school, but was open to the general public. Well, we managed to get hold of a video of the performance. There's more security surrounding video tapes at his school than there is on the new Wolverine movie, but Joye managed to borrow the official video of the show just long enough to upload his set. This audience is different from what he's played in the past so if you've seen his other stand-up video you may recognize some of the material. Either way, it's good stuff!



Joey is looking to expand his tour list, so if you know of any open mike nights that a 16 year old can do stand-up at, let us know!

No Respect!

You're probably thinking, "Boy, that's a horrible picture!" And, you'd be right! The sad thing is, this photograph is from our local newspaper. Joey performed some of his stand-up comedy material this past weekend at a benefit talent show at his high school. Joey was among many other talented kids...and not so talented adults...singing, dancing, playing music and acting in the talent show. Our town's newspaper ran a small piece about the show in yesterday's paper and featured this photograph along with a few others. I don't know if the photographer was trying to be artistic or what...but let's face it, this picture now only sucks it's should also be embarrassing to the newspaper. Really guys, you're going to run a photo that is 95% nothing! Wow!

Don't get us wrong...Joey was excited to have his picture and act mentioned in the newspaper, and his mother and I are very proud of him. But this ain't exactly the kind of newspaper clipping that's going to get him book on The Tonight Show anytime soon! Ya know!?

Comedy Central Presents

At the end of every school year Joey's school has a talent show. For the past five years Joey has performed stand-up comedy at these talent shows. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to pull something like this off, and Joey has nailed it every year. This year the school finally made available a video of the show for the students to keep. Here's Joey's performance of all his own original material.
