R.I.P. Harold Ramis (1944-2014)

Famed director, writer, and actor Harold Ramis passed away at the age of 69 today. He was surrounded by family at the time of his passing. He was battling a rare illness called autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis, which is swelling of blood vessels.

 This man was a pioneer of modern age comedy starting with his roots as a writer on the classic Animal House and on. He gained entrance to all the nerds hearts on camera with his character Dr. Egon Spengler in Ghostbusters. Ramis had one hell of a funny mind and taste for humor on screen with classic many didn't know he directed including National Lampoon's Vacation, Caddyshack, and Groundhog Day. All great comedy classics in my book as well as all comedy fans. Not just fans that enjoy to watch them but to make them. He was big influences on current big comedians Jay Roach, Judd Apatow, and Seth Rogan, just to name a few. He will always be a pioneer and remembered for the work he has done to make us laugh and enjoy life.

Year One Review

Year One is a comedy set in biblical times in the since of Mel Brooks "History of the World, Part I". It stars Jack Black( The School of Rock, Tropic Thunder, and Tenacious D) and Michael Cera( Superbad, Juno, and Nick and Nora). The film makes a lot of jokes to biblical things that can be hard to get if not familiar with them, which makes it hard to think its funny. The main comedy in the film is physical humor( Jack licks dung and Michael urinates on his own head) and you may think it is funny or gross. The funniest thing I like about the movie is the supporting cast from start to end. Some of the supporting cast are Vinnie Jones, Bill Hader, David Cross, Hank Azaria, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Paul Rudd and many more. I would have a hard time keep watching it without seeing the Supporting cast to make me guessing who's next. Jack uses his facial features as his main source of being funny and Michael uses his Awkwardness for his, but it works pretty good together. Overall, if you seen this in Theaters I am sorry for you, but maybe watch it on TV or rent for $1. I give it 64 out of 100
