Day 9: "Lenny" Experiment in Dusty

Lenny Bruce was the first smart, edgy comic. From working as an MC in burlesque shows to top bill at some of the best clubs in america to  being a pioneer for the first amendment.

Now, as all good burlesque MC's, drugs and easy women were the norm. Having both in his life did not make his journey easy. From a drug addicted wife to booting heroin before a show.

Dustin Hoffman plays Lenny, damn near perfect. I have been a fan of Lenny for the past 10 years. I LOVED Dustin's performance.

The movie is directed by Bob Fosse, director of "All that Jazz" and "Cabaret". He knew what he was doing when he made "Lenny". It starts slow and a little like a soft core porn (there a lot of boobs and sex) and Dustin's performance really pulls you in. Half way in you are hooked.

With my Ratings system I Liked this movie and I recommend it, although it is not for everyone.
3 stars of 5.

Day 5: "Conan O'Brian Can't Stop"

When Jay Leno decided he wanted the Tonight Show back, NBC bought out Conan O'Brian's contract and in the stipulations of the buyout Conan could not be on TV or Radio for 6 months.

For a man who needs to be in front of people performing, this was damn near impossible for him. So he decided to make a tour and perform.

The "Legally Obligated Not to Be on TV Tour" was formed.

This shows the behind the sceans of this tour and show how much Conan loves his fans. No normal person could have this amount of energy, and Coco is 48.

Just simply an Amazing Documentary. If I could give it 4 and a half i would, but I can't.

Once again, an amazing movie. 4 of 5 Stars
