Best movie ever!
... View MoreThis is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

... View MoreSuperjail! This was a show that only people who love psychopathic and gory violence find to be good. In each episode, it features a large amount of fights and gore. The show's bloody violence is supposed to be the humor. But my decision for deciding if this show is good or bad, I find this pretty bad for many people and sometimes good. But this is why I think some people will not find this show entertaining. One bad thing that this show holds is the WAY too much blood. Parents will Definitely find this extremely disturbing and when they see it with kids, they will obviously freak! The violence in this show is so graphic. Did you know that Superjail is one of the most bloodiest and most graphic cartoons ever made and watched. Some of this is too hard to watch that sometimes turns the TV off for some people especially during midnight.Another thing that this show lacks is that's its sometimes very hard to follow. It's complicated for some people and some of the dialogue is weak. The episodes are only eleven minutes which makes the dialogue very short. Not much detail explained as the episode is walked further into the plot. This is the small review and its quick. But overall, I Definitely do not recommend people under the age 18 to watch this show. Parents will find this show horrible and most importantly there is way way way way way too much blood and is very graphic. Many fight scenes included and disgusting deaths like in men getting sliced into pieces or getting their spines ripped out of their body. Getting burned to death, squashed, head and limbs torn apart. Very disgusting. So thanks for taking your time to read this review.
... View MoreWhen I first saw this show, I noticed that it had AMAZING animation, but was still sick, twisted and bizarre.I loved it!!! Superjail is so trippy it makes Yellow Submarine look like an anti drug PSA. The show is set in what else but a jail? But it's a SUPERjail, a weird facility the size of a city that houses the most vicious inmates. It's located inside a volcano that's inside a volcano. Just a warning to protective parents, the animation is very lively, colorful and psychedelic, and the animation looks amazing, so it may end up attracting younger children. Don't let it fool you though. While it is a hilarious show, it is also very violent.Most of it is comical, but it's still really gruesome. Entertaining,but gruesome.Even though there's only been 21 episodes as of today, there's still been time to grow fond of the characters. Every episode starts with a criminal called Jackknife committing a crime, and being captured by Jailbot during the opening theme. Jailbot is a robot that does the wishes of the Warden, and is often shown dealing with the inmates. The Warden is the owner of Superjail who likes Alice, and reminds me of a hilarious, deranged version of Willy Wonka. Almost every episode revolves around his latest schemes to improve Superjail or get what he wants, which usually results in hilarity. Alice is the the security guard. She is obviously a transvestite, very masculine, and violent. Jared is the lovable, short, panicky accountant who is recovering from almost every addiction imaginable and is often seen helping the Warden. The weirdest characters are probably the Twins. While this is more out of playfulness than out of evil, they serve as antagonists to the Warden. Most of the time they are seen messing up the Warden's plans, which inevitably leads to more violence. Although it turns out that they are in Superjail on vacation.So basically an episode follows this format. The Warden comes up with a plan for Superjail, Jared complains, the Twins mess it up, extreme brutal violence, credits. It's simple, it's shocking, and it's hilarious. I highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for something weird.
... View MoreI watched one episode of this show about a year ago and found it pretty boring. It's somewhere between gore-humor and awkward-humor, and it relies on the same couple sources for laughs over and over again. The Warden is just straight batshit insane, his secretary is a disgusting shemale mutant that he wants nothing more than a night in bed with, and the inmates lives are regarded as worthless and therefore no one is really phased when they are brutally slaughtered.After watching a couple more episodes however, it became pretty clear to me that there was a saving grace for this show, and that is that even though the show isn't incredibly diverse or clever, it paces itself and sets itself up pretty well for insane, comically over-the-top endings to the episodes. The most obvious episode in this case is "Cold-Blooded", where the jail becomes frozen solid and snow creatures unleash gory hell on the inmates and basically anyone and everyone in the script. The point is that the show gives you kind of mildly funny, gory deaths until you're sick of it, and then overwhelms you with ridiculously fast-paced, orchestrated genocide. Even though you were sick of the show being monotonous, by the time the ending scene is finished, you are laughing your ass off because what you just saw was so epic that it changed your mind again.The opening credits also feature different crimes being committed, and then Killbot, the Warden's robot, brings them to superjail. Some of these were pretty funny as well.
... View MoreThe Adult Swim lineup generally has its hit or misses but this is one of the few true animated gems in the bunch. The show follows The Warden of Superjail who brings his Wonka-esquire, Scarry inspired fantasies to life in every episode. He is flanked by Jared the neurotic accountant, Alice the "female" prison guard, and Jailbot a merciless robot enforcer. Throw in the ultra violent prisoners, two time traveling techno-twins, and an experimental doctor and you have a recipe for some crazy plot lines.The show shines brightest in the animation department. Every episode is richly colored and detailed unlike most animation on television (are you listening Adult Swim lineup?). The pace is fast and exciting and one really doesn't know how the next inmate will be killed- knife impalement, chainsaw, being clobbered to a bloody pulp by his own arm. Did I mention the ultra-violence in this show? The blood and gore that flows in every episode brings another comedic element to the show since most of it is done for, well, comedic effect. So... NOT FOR CHILDREN! In conclusion, if you enjoy the often violent, non-sequitur tales of Don Hertzfeldt, Bill Plympton, or Ren & Stimpy- this show is for you. If not, at least give it a try.Cheers!
