The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale (2018)
it's allright
I am writing this review mostly for the people outside U.S.
this show focuses on American tv, and if you are not very used to that kind of stuff I think some jokes wont be very understandable but overall I think you can make a sense of the jokes and I did so too, but the problem might be because of american humor is kind of different than what I am used to, I do really like some american comedy shows but some just make me very confused just like this one, I have started to watch this show because I really like community and I also like Joel as an actor so I wanted to check this out, the show is actually very addicting but I won't say it's very funny, the clips they show are actually very good for comedy purposes but while watching it I am like " ah this is a very funny video I wonder what Joel gonna say about this...." (joel makes the joke) "oh come on you could find way better jokes than this" , but then I tried to find jokes by myself if I could think of a better joke and...yeah, it's hard, I suppose it is diffcult to come up with a joke when the video comes out of nowhere therefore finding a relevant joke is hard, but still I think they can find better jokes or more jokes to make the show more entertaining. I think I watch this show more for Joel McHale than the jokes themselves because he is a good entertainer, I do enjoy his style of comedy even if I don't really like all the jokes, even if you are outside of the United States I would say give it a chance, I think it will grow on you.
David Brent: Life on the Road (2016)
not too bad
Before saying anything about this movie I need to say I did not watch the office, I like British humor, but unfortunately did not have a chance to watch it, and I am not a fan of this kind of humor, but I found this interesting, though I got bored at some parts, some dialogues and situations were quite funny, and I think it is too real at some points I was not able to laugh. so, I think it was interesting to watch. I actually gave a high rating because the situations and dialogues are more deep than most popular movies I have watched on recent years that are promoted as "comedy and drama".
Russell Howard: Recalibrate (2017)
good like the old ones
Russel Howard is one of the comedians that genuienly make me laugh. not because I am very dull or I hate comedy, I guess it´s just because I have a very specific kind of humor that makes me laugh. anyway, now about the stand up: it is like his old stand ups, it´s very funny if you ask me, but you can´t find it funny if you didn´t like his previous stand ups, but the difference with this one it also gives Russel Howard hour and his old show good news´ vibes, I guess because he talks more about some current issues, but he has a very optimistic approach on this kind of issues so after watching the stand up I didn´t feel like "uh this world is going downhill" , so it´s not a George Carlin stand up, you can relax and watch it.
Kedi (2016)
very beautiful also: two types of documentaries
Very beautiful imagery, I born in Istanbul and lived there for sometime and I can confirm there are cats everywhere, but I never knew people had that much connection with cats in Istanbul. it´s very heartwarming and visually pleasing documentary, and, you see, there is mostly two types of documentaries the one for to get information and the ones to just look at the imagery and mostly more than information about the imagery and the feeling that documentary carries, and this is that kind of documentary, very nice to look at but that doesn´t mean it´s dull on information side, it´s actually very well putted, it´s just more quiet and lets you to find the atmosphere of the movie and process the information you got, nice to watch if you like cats or stories about people´s connection with animals.
A Hologram for the King (2016)
Meh, but why though?
I mean it's a useless movie, but it has Tom Hanks, one of the nicest people ever existed, so it's nice to watch, weirdly I didn't get bored even though it was a pretty meaningless movie, the shots and locations were nice which made it exciting but the dialogues weren't so exciting or meaningful nor was the story, I mean actually, I think the idea was pretty cool I think they would make a lot more with that story, but it felt like they were in a rush. it feels like you are listening to a long story from the person who lived the story and they are just trying to tell you in 5 minutes. so it would be more, why it didn't? though it is a bright storytelling I guess, nice to watch when you have extra time.
Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time) (2015)
very refreshing
I follow him since I have first listened one of the his stand up spceials, I think he has a very different kind of humor which is refreshing inside all of this new comedians just using same kind of humor, hard to find unique people now. the only think I am not sure about If I liked it or not is how dry his humor is, because I feel like some jokes would be better with some like kind of role playing but I guess not showing too much reaction also one of his trademarks and it actually makes the joke better at some situations, but it also felt like he wasn't feeling comfortable on stage so much but I hope he would get more comfortable on stage. I don't say he should act different but I felt he was feeling too much under pressure which some jokes made to look weird rather than funny, but getting more comfortable is something comes with time I guess. I also liked his jokes a lot it kinda reminds me Dylan Moran in the way he also uses different perspectives and creative materials to make jokes, so overall his jokes are creative and very interesting loved it.
Conan O'Brien Can't Stop (2011)
good documentary for Conan fans and people who are interested in comedy
I liked the movie, it has an honest feeling, and it's just what it is, it just shows you what you want to see, what happened after he lost his job on CNBC and how they putted on a show, I enjoyed watching it. it's also nice to see Conan in his everyday life. I think every Conan fan should watch this. it might be boring if you don't watch Conan but if you like Conan and interested the inside of comedy like how does it work, the atmosphere...etc. you will love it
Saving Face (2004)
it changes about what you looking for
It doesn't have a complicated story it's simple but the characters and the harmony of the movie makes you really happy after you watch it. and I also think it's quite nice this is just like any other romantic comedy movie but it's also an LGBT movie because on LGBT movies it's rare to see a bright atmosphere, so it's a good movie if you are searching for a bright decent romantic comedy movie.
