One need know me for roughly five minutes before they know full well my attitudes toward Dane Cook. Beyond mere distaste, I have a manic and psychotic hatred of him, sworn in blood and pain, that will no doubt span continents and generations and will cost more than its fair share of lives. I have alienated family members, ended friendships, and even had a girl walk out on me because of my raw and visceral loathing of the man and everything he stands for...continue reading this article at Geeks of Doom!

Laughing At Tragedy --- 20 years of Comic Relief
There is very old cliche: "Laughter Is The Best Medicine."
Laughter as a cure for social ills was the mission of Comic Relief, a charity originally established in America in 1986 to help the homeless. For several years, comedians Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, and Billy Crystal hosted a live benefit performance, featuring some of the greatest comedians of several generations. Their efforts raised millions to help the needy...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

With humor being so subjective, it’s hard to find a comic who can appeal to any audience. Regardless of your taste in stand-up though, there should be at least one comic in the line-up of The Best of Comedy Central Presents Uncensored that you won’t find funny...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Movie Review: Dan in Real Life
Directed by Peter Hedges
Starring Steve Carell, Juliette Binoche, Dane Cook
Rated PG-13
Touchstone Pictures
It’s funny how differently things hit you on different days. Depending on the day or week you are having, a movie can either sit well with you or sit like a ton of bricks. I wasn’t really expecting too much from this film, but I guess a funny thing happened on the way to the forum…
Dan in Real Life is about single dad and popular family advice columnist Dan Burns (Steve Carell). He is doing his best to raise his three daughters; two teenagers and one almost there. They set out on a weekend away for an annual family get-together. The first morning, Dan goes into town and meets a woman, Marie (Juliette Binoche) at a bookstore. We soon find out that Marie happens to be the girlfriend of Dan’s brother Mitch (Dane Cook), who was using the weekend as an outlet to let her meet the fam. The rest of the weekend is spent watching Dan and Marie share secret laughs and quick snippet meetings in this mansion of a house unbeknownst to the rest of the family, especially Mitch...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Movie Review: Good Luck Chuck
I hate Dane Cook. It’s no secret, really. But like many of my pop culture enemies, I once rooted for him to do good so I could look at him differently and… Ya know… Learn something. I watched his HBO special, which looked to me like a red-assed howler monkey with a metrosexual haircut shrieking at the top of his lungs, telling long and unfunny stories that didn’t have a point and didn’t really go anywhere. I saw Employee of the Month… And soaked my eyes in bleach immediately afterwards. But that was just a bad movie. I heard good things about Mr. Brooks, so I went into Good Luck Chuck with an open mind, waiting to be convinced of the MySpace comic phenomenon...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

'Good Luck Chuck' Trailer
In Good Luck Chuck, comedian turned actor Dane Cook stars in this romantic comedy as Chuck, the guy every girl wants to sleep with, because once they do, they then meet the man of their dreams. This is why Chuck is such "good luck." Chuck enjoys all that meaningless sex until he meets the girl of his dreams (Jessica Alba), but can't have sex with her for obvious reasons.
I'm glad to see Dane Cook get a leading role like this. He was great in the small part he had in Waiting, and the trailer for Chuck looks really funny. (Watch the trailer here after the jump.) But the movie poster? Ack, creepy. Yeah, I know it's a play on the famous John Lennon/Yoko Ono Rolling Stone cover, but it just doesn't seem to fit for this movie.
Good Luck Chuck hits theaters on September 21, 2007...check out this preview after the jump at Geeks of Doom
