IMDB 0 | Oct , 2017
Subtle, sensitive and touching? Probably! Serene? Not quite. Hilarious? Absolutely! Jean-François is getting older and experience forces him to evolve. He is now aware of his own fragility. Jean-François Mercier seduces his audience with the vehemence that we know him to be. True to himself, he remains bold and sexy, while being more thoughtful. How to say? From now on, Jean-François turns his tongue seven times in your mouth before speaking.Peter Kay: Live at the Top of the Tower

Through unprecedented backstage access and candid interviews, the film weaves through the absurd world of the working comedian and reveals a crazy and hilarious psychological profile of its practitioners. We also follow retired comic Ritch Shydner's attempt to climb back on stage after a thirteen-year hiatus. At the top of his game in the 1980's, Shydner had HBO specials, shot five pilot TV shows, and numerous late night appearances (Carson, Letterman, Leno, etc.) but the big time eluded him. Equipped with the collective wisdom and nutty musings of over 80 of his peers, he gives it another shot. Does Ritch have what it takes to connect with today's young crowds and still get the laughs?Dead Air

Luis Raúl takes over the arena stage for his final stand-up show, recorded live at Puerto Rico's renowned José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan on September 14, 2013. Many jokes include being the first stand-up comedian to perform at the venue and his comparative to other artist's demands when visiting a venue opposed to his demands, to the importance of one's eyes (theme of the show), traditional Puerto Rican remedies, his own mother, television infomercials, marijuana, his fiscal problems with past-due back taxes, and, of course, sex. Marking his last unplanned curtain call in his career, "Qué OJOnes" ("What BIG EYEs!") was brought to the big screen as an posthumous homage to one of Luis Raúl's final wishes before his death.Lenny

HECKLER is a comedic feature documentary exploring the increasingly critical world we live in. After starring in a film that was critically bashed, Jamie Kennedy takes on hecklers and critics and ask some interesting questions of people such as George Lucas, Bill Maher, Mike Ditka, Rob Zombie, Howie Mandel and many more.
