Derek (2012)
Perfection from one of the most brilliant minds in entertainment history!!!
It takes a brilliant mind to walk that razor's edge between laughter and tears. Derek is a textbook for improving human behavior through tolerance, kindness, eternal positivity, acceptance, service, and (sorry Ricky) Christlike behavior. Ricky oscillates between side-splitting laughter and free-flowing tears with his portrayal of the perennial child-like, Derek Noakes. I've watched the entire series over ten times and I'll still pick up classic lines, hilarious gags, and heart-warming lessons to make me (and everyone) a better person. A plethora of memorable characters from carnal Kevin to the angelic Hannah. Cannot recommend this series highly enough!!!!!
Valley Uprising (2014)
THE Best Documentary (on any subject) I've Ever Seen
I am not a rock climber but climbers have always fascinated me. I will never be able to wrap my head around the ability these climbers have of separating their love of climbing with their inherent fear of heights and falling. This documentary is highly watchable, informative, breathtaking, nerve-wracking, and humorous at times. It begins with the first wave of Yosemite climbers in the 1950s and chronicles the sport through five decades of innovation and ingenuity. The characters are fascinating. The narration is well written and entertaining. And the archival film footage enhances the factual information. The music is taken from lesser-known selections but they are PERFECT. The final scene is the best I've seen in any documentary. You've GOT to see this documentary. I think I've now watched it nearly twenty-five times and I could watch it again tomorrow.
