Patrice O'Neal - Elephant In The Room (2011) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This stand up special is rooted in Patrice's unique views on topics we might have heard covered by other comics but not like this. Patrice not only makes every topic his own, he takes you places you may not have wanted to go making you laugh along the way.
He covers race, sexual harassment, cheating, relationships, animals, football all in an hour special that makes you wish he was given two hours. He has a charisma that connects with the audience that most comics (at least the comics on Comedy Central) seem to be lacking.
Patrice is one of the best comics that America has not heard of and not for his lack of talent and comedic ability. Buy this special, see him live, you will not be disappointed.

Strapped (2010) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)An ambitious young street hustler goes to a trick's apartment in a large inner-city apartment building. After they finish, he can't find his way out of the building, but soon encounters a diverse group of other residents, all of whom are also in the market for something that he can offer. He professionally and efficiently does what he does best: provide the fantasy they want, gets his money, and moves on to someone else. But his final encounter in the building is with a young man who wants something Alex has never considered he is capable of providing, at any price: affection and emotional intimacy.
I "passed" on this originally, based on the trailer (which makes it look a bit sleazy), but picked it up based on a friend's recommendation. And I'm glad I did. Writer/director Joseph Graham offers a surprisingly intelligent and thought-provoking look at intimacy, via a pivotal day in the life of a young man who provides physical intimacy to strangers for a price, but has never really considered his own sexuality leading to any relationship. As the hustler, newcomer Ben Bonenfant is absolutely riveting with a natural sexiness coupled with intelligence and a significant dose of cynicism. DVD has several extras (including a seemingly unscripted, lengthy solo commentary by Bonenfant, with his thoughts on the role and the film.), not rated (but would be a solid R for lengthy scenes of simulated gay sex). Check this one out. Five stars out of five.
