The Original Kings of Comedy achieves the seemingly impossible task of capturing the rollicking and sly comedy routines of stand-up and sitcom vets Steve Harvey, D.L. Hughley, Cedric the Entertainer, and Bernie Mac and the magic of experiencing a live concert show. Director Spike Lee and his crew plant a multitude of cameras in a packed stadium and onstage (as well as backstage, as they follow the comedians) to catch the vivid immediacy of the show, which is as much about the audience as it is about the jokes. close

STELLA is a three-man comedy troupe from New York City, comprised of well-known comedians/actors Michael Showalter, David Wain, and Michael Ian Black. Though the three have made a living performing at comedy clubs, they are perhaps best known for their home-made short films. The STELLA SHORTS have garnered cult success because of their nonsensical plotlines, absurd dialogue, graphic sexual humor, sporatic violence, and sheer hilarity. This DVD showcases the trio's first twenty-three adventures, each one more bizarre and hysterical than the last. Highlights include: a game of whiffleball that goes terribly awry, an expedition to the South Pole (?) to meet Santa Claus, an edge-of-your-seat moustache-growing contest, a twisted "whodunit"-style murder mystery, and much, much more. close

Amazing talent Whoopi Goldberg - the second black actress to win an Oscar, is inexhaustible. Starting to play on the stage as a child, she, already becoming an actress traveling around the country, once attracts the attention of director Mike Nichols, who helped her get to Broadway with her play “Ghost Show”, where Whoopi plays six roles at once – from a beggar to a millionaire. Then there was a starring role for Spielberg in the drama “Flowers of the Lila Fields”, which began the ascent of Whoopi Goldberg to deserved fame. One of the facets of her talent is the comic gift, which the actress perfectly demonstrates in a brilliant stand-up program.
Comedy film Marty Kollner "Whoopi: back to Broadway - 20 years later" according to the script written by the actress herself - a demonstration of her amazing talents. close
