COMEDY, and STEVE-O GROSS MISCONDUCT (UNCENSORED):
BAD GUY (reviewed by Joel Pearce, overall score 65/100):
"Life Size Entertainment has released the film on a solid DVD, so you
can decide for yourself whether it's art or misogynistic crap."

BEYOND THE SEA (reviewed by Patrick Naugle, overall score 73/100):
"Kevin Spacey's biopic -- an obvious labor of love by the actor/director
-- never lives up to the Darin legend. Bobby Darin's life in Beyond The
Sea, while extraordinary on its own terms, lacks a dramatic arc needed
to produce a really riveting film."

BLACK CLOUD (reviewed by David Johnson, overall score 75/100):
"Spears has a terrific physical presence on his screen, but his acting
leaves something to be desired. And the fact that the Black Cloud
character is antagonistic to the audience sure doesn't help. From the
moment we meet him, and pretty much up to the overwrought conversion
experience you know he has to have, Black Cloud is a jerk."

CALIFORNIA CLASSIC ROCK (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall score 10/100):
"I've yet to see a more peculiar mish-mash of rock, soul, blues and
bubblegum pop on one concert disc."

THE COOL SURFACE (reviewed by Mitchell Hattaway, overall score 50/100):
"Anyone wanting a peek at Terri's assets (heh-heh) would be better
served watching Heaven's Prisoners, which isn't by any means a great
film, but it's a lot better than this one."

CURSED: UNRATED VERSION (reviewed by Brett Cullum, overall score
75/100):
"Though the unrated DVD may add more gore, it can't fix the fundamental
problems that plague Cursed in any form."

DEMON SEX (reviewed by Mac McEntire, overall score 35/100):
"Is there a verdict I can give that's worse than 'guilty?' Life
sentence? Instant death penalty? Take it out behind the tool shed and
shoot it?"

GARY LEWIS AND THE PLAYBOYS (reviewed by Steve Evans, overall
score 65/100):
"In concert the old exuberance is still there -- it never seems like
Lewis & Co. are just going through the motions -- yet there's
something vaguely creepy about a man in his late fifties warbling about
Little Miss Go Go while shaking his ass in black-leather pants."

SAM KINISON: OUTLAWS OF COMEDY (reviewed by Jeff Andreasen, overall
score 20/100):
"In Outlaws of Comedy, Kinison looks like he's acting from a script or,
at the worst, reading from a dummy card. His smile and affection for the
audience appear almost completely forced, as though he's only up there
because he's got bills to pay. Sort of like just about any movie Sean
Connery's been in since 1990."

STEVE-O GROSS MISCONDUCT (UNCENSORED) (reviewed by Ian Visser, overall
score 10/100):
"I cannot express this enough: Not. One. Single. Laugh."
