Trapped in the Closet Chapters 1-12 (R. Kelly, 2005) A+

I know many of you have seen the first five chapters of this video/movie, but to fully understand the masterpiece that it is you must seen it in its entirety. I won't even attempt to go into detail about the plot line of this movie, but the ongoing themes and storylines involve adultery, lies, guns, threats of violence, cherry pie, and midgets. If that doesn't get you hooked I don't know what will. Yes I know the music doesn't change and seems to get repetitive, but once you start listening you just laugh and say WOW! R. Kelly has teased us, saying that he has written 22 chapters to this epic, but only released the first 12 and who knows when that will be. I cannot stress the importance of watching all these videos, they will hit you on every emotional level possible.



The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior (WWE Entertainment, 2005) A+

This is a documentary made by the WWE (formerly WWF) that explores how a wrestler at the top of his game could through it all away basically because of a large ego. The Ultimate Warrior was one of my favorite wreslters in the glory days of the late 80s/early 90s, back when good guys were really good and bad guys were really bad. He was to be the next big thing, he beat Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania, he held every belt possible, everything looked good to the audience, but things were far from right. The Warrior lacked any real wrestling skills, no one wanted to wrestle with him, he started making wild money requests, had unusual demands during publicity tours. Basically he started thinking he was bigger than everyone else. Watching old wrestling highlights and stars from my day was pretty cool, and I felt that I learned a lot about the business. I think the highlight was watching today's wrestlers make fun of the warrior. Awesome. Oh, on a side not warrior did not participate in this video, and as of a few years ago has officially changed his name to warrior. You can read his crazy ramblings on the web.
