Ian Bagg Returns
Ian Bagg’s Comedy Central special premiered just seven days after his interview with Trashwire writer Wil Chinchilla in 2007. Since then he has grown from a comedian with not much of a following to inspiring the crowd in Houston to come to three of his shows at the Houston Improv to simply see what he would say differently in each show. With dreams set on an animated series and sights focused on working with famed producer Judd Apatow, Bagg is certainly in the fast lane to success.

It seems like a great idea: a post-9/11 disaster flick with aliens. Unfortunately, Matt Reeves’ Cloverfield begins like an episode of The Hills and looks like the cinematography was done by Britney Spears a la her homemade reality show Chaotic. The hype surrounding this film and the spectacular trailer gave me very high hopes for Cloverfield. It’s too bad that the trailer contains nearly every watchable part.
Eagle vs Shark, a brilliant comedy from New Zealand director Taika Waititi and featuring Jemaine Clement of Flight of the Conchords is now on DVD. The film plays like a New Zealand version of Napoleon Dynamite with amped up awkwardness and stellar performances all around.
The Celebrity Apprentice made its debut last night on NBC. The cast included some famous faces as well as individuals who could barely be called “celebrities”. The most horrifying contestant has got to be Omarosa. In the first challenge, the teams ran hot dog carts in New York and tried to raise money for charity. SPOILER ALERT! This review contains information on who won the first challenge as well as who was fired.
