Streaming Saturday: Episode 1 Football shows and Spoofs




 Hey everybody I am here with a new thing I am going to do at least once, sometimes twice a week. It is where I watch some of the finest shows and movies on instant queue. I will mostly have a particular theme and today I was busy so I will have two different topics. Well lets get started
The League: Season 1
 The League is a show about a group of friends Pete, Kevin, Ruxin ,Taco, and Andre who all have one thing in common. They all are in a fantasy football league together and all try to win the League title (except Taco) the Shiva. All throughout this six episode season the men go through tons of  hygienics such as buying three pennis wine, meeting the real Shiva, and how to secretly watch porn. By these statements you know if the show is for you. 
 The League is a comedy that most of the jokes center around football or raunchy humor. The group of friends tease each other all of the time. I love the show for that reason. This group of friends may tease each other, but they all know that they are best friends and that resembles real life. Also most of the jokes hit and when they do, get ready to laugh out loud. This is easily my favorite show on television right now and after catching up with the second season, I can not wait for the third. I give the show a 10/10.

Friday Night Lights: Season 1  
 Now instead of being a comedy, this show shows the dramatic light of football. The show is about the local High School football team the Panthers and all of the drama on and off the gridiron. The star quarterback Jason Streets is ready to lead his team to a title but after a major injury, will he be able to walk. Can the back up quarterback step up and lead the team to victory. If any of these questions interest you, check out this show.  
 Like a football team, the Panthers have there characters like the humble back up getting his chance, the ego maniac, the drunken guy who is really a good person, the perfect guy losing everything etc. To tell the truth, I did not mind any of these stereotypes becuase they are some what realistic. What isn't is every game going down to the last play. After the first time, it just gets annoying and predictable. The show does have a solid finally so I am going to give Friday Night Lights a 8/10.

Spoofs

The Other Guys
 The Other Guys is a spoof of the cop genre and buddy cop films. The film is about these two terrible cops Will Ferrel and Mark Wahlberg, finally get there chance to prove they are good cops with a huge case. Yes generic story but who cares its a spoof film. Adam McKay directs and he and Ferrel mostly tag team for there movies and Mark Wahlberg would make an interesting side kick. So how was it do you ask?
 The Other Guys is a funny silly action packed film that drags at points, but you will be happy with the result. Both Ferrel and Wahlberg do solid jobs and provide quite a number of laughs including a famous sports cameo with Wahlberg. Also in the film is Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Both are funny in there supporting roles. So why did I not love the film? Well the film is two hours long and it drags for about an hour two long. Despite my major complaint I will give the Other Guys a 7/10.

Evil Dead

  This film is pure genus and by far one of the best horror films I have ever seen. I got my self laughing and disturbed at the same time and I have never seen that before. This is also the goriest film I have ever seen by that dose not mean the film is touter porn. There is a huge difference between those two genres. This film is a spoof of the genre while being a horror film at the same time.
 This film as and will stand the test for one reason. The horror of the imagery.  Most horror films these days just want to use jump scares to give you a quick scare. The thing is jump scares are not effective becuase after awhile you can start to anticipated the jump scares. When the horror is in the imagery, a haunting feeling can be left in the scary imagery you see. Overall this is a horror classic that should be rememberer forever. I am going to give the film a perfect 10/10 and please check this film out.
