Bad Teacher – Movie Review
, And I thought it would just merely be exciting to see her on screen. However, Punch’s character Amy Squirrel took crazy to new levels. Her motivation was being perfect, and those types always fall apart wonderfully. But she was such a winner that she was winning competitions that we didn’t know she was a part of, and Diaz’s character Elizabeth just seemed petty for picking on her at times. Amy was so committed to perfection that she got crazier and crazier just to prove that she was right, which of course backfired on her–seeing her with a megaphone and a flight attendant uniform just to welcome her class to the first day of school was just the tip of the crazy iceberg.Justin Timberlake also surprised me in his performance of Scott Delacorte. We all saw the trailers to the movie, so we all figured that Justin Timberlake is perfect – again. Bad Teacher was unafraid to take everything we as a people have ever learned about Justin Timberlake and subvert or invert it. Everything. My favorite scene of his is when he joins Period 5, a band of teachers from John Adams Middle School that performs at this dive bar, and he gets his solo moment – it’s a singer in an acting role, there’s always a solo moment. It was a beautiful thing. Even though I did love NSYNC as a kid, I was never a big Justin fan, but now, I’m finally warming up to him.
There were so many smaller roles in the movie I absolutely loved, I could be here all day talking about every last one of them. However, I will limit myself to talking about Eric Stonestreet as Elizabeth’s roommate Kirk and Thomas Lennon as Carl Halabi. Kirk was so clueless and so unlike anything I can remember seeing Stonestreet in – though to be honest, off the top of my head that’s the one episode of Pushing Daisies . He was tough, irresponsible, and I’m guessing a bit of a partier – we never see any of these parties, but it’s hinted. Even though he knows nothing about his roommate, he’s still willing to help her when she asks. Thomas Lennon is just plain funny in everything, and his character was a shady state test official. While that is what it says on the tin, I still wanted to talk about him because of the scene Carl has with Kirk, which is easily one of the funnier scenes in the movie. Kirk is trying to threaten Carl as a favor to Elizabeth, but is trying to do so after injuring himself. Carl is helpful until he finds out who Kirk is and then is instantly angry. They vandalize each other’s vehicles. I cannot do the scene justice. It’s just funny.

DVD Verdict Review - The Best Of I Love Lucy
Opening Statement
For those of you who have been living under a rock or sequestered in a Communist country for the last six decades, I Love Lucy has been a staple in the top tier of television best of lists since it premiered back in 1951. Starring Lucille Ball and real life hubby Desi Arnaz, I Love Lucy managed to transcend racial and generational barriers with shows that had one common denominator: they were funny. Lucy and Ricky were like a couple we could imagine living next door to, friends who could've been a part of our daily lives. The writing wasn't dumbed down for the great unwashed, on the contrary, we were included in on the gag, and with each zany antic that Lucy got herself into we watched, waiting to see how she would get out of the trouble she created. Lucy, Ricky, Ethel and Fred were like family, albeit a dysfunctional one (on your spouse's side of course), a family that became a part of our own families; so much so that even 60 years later we still love Lucy.
Facts of the CaseThe Best of I Love Lucy is a two disc set that includes 14 of the series' most popular episodes which aired between 1952 and 1956. It's sort of like the sample platter at your favorite restaurant, you get a nice assortment to choose from but it's not really a complete meal. The DVD highlights the comedic genius of Lucille Ball and her talented supporting cast that included Desi Arnaz as Ricky Ricardo, Vivian Vance playing Ethel Mertz and William Frawley as the old, crotchety Fred Mertz. Although not a complete selection, the episodes are a fine representation of why I Love Lucy is the iconic television series we know and love today.
The EvidenceThere are three episodes in The Best of I Love Lucy set that are the series clearest representations of the genius. The first is "Lucy Does a TV Commercial." In it Ricky needs a girl to do a commercial for a television show he's emceeing. Lucy wants, no, she needs to be that girl but of course Ricky says no. When Lucy finagles a way into doing the commercial for a tonic called Vitametavegamin, we get to see Lucy's physical comedic talents at their best. Since the commercial will be broadcast live during the variety show, Lucy has to rehearse her part a few times before the program begins. Unbeknownst to Lucy, and to the director as well, is the fact that this wonder tonic contains 23% alcohol. So when Lucy takes that first spoonful and has to say "…it's so tasty too," the look of abject horror on her face is classic to the core and makes me laugh no matter how many times I've seen it. We've all had to force down some awful tasting concoction at one time or another and we can easily relate to Lucy's discovery that Vitametavegamin is anything but 'tasty.' In that one scene, Lucy is able to project with her face and eyes emotions that most of us find difficult to show with words.
