(Silent humor) A Review Of Napolean Dynamite

By Guillermo Summers

  One of the more absurd movies of the decade, Napoleon Dynamite nonetheless manages to be a hilarious comedy in its own right. Featuring a unique brand of alienated-teenage humor, the film relies more on its well-timed pauses and character body language than on zinging one-liners. If you enjoy its subtle humor, then Napoleon Dynamite is a film you’ll find utterly hilarious. Otherwise, it might cause boredom or outright confusion. The film has a near non-existent storyline, but what it lacks in plot, it makes up for with its witty and hilarious comedy sequences…

Jon Heder plays the title role of Napoleon Dynamite, an estranged and nerdy high school youth living with his grandmother and older brother, Kip (Aaron Ruell), in Preston, Idaho. Sporting a clueless, unchanging facial expression throughout the movie, Napoleon simply glides through life, getting kicked around, pushed into lockers, and watching life pass by. When a Spanish student named Pedro (Efren Ramirez) moves into town, Napoleon befriends the social outcast. The two drone on and on about myriad subjects, such as who to take to the upcoming dance. Fellow socially-challenged student Deb (Tina Majorino) becomes the object of their affections.

Meanwhile, Kip trolls the Internet chat rooms in search of women, and Napoleon’s Uncle Rico (Jon Gries) moves in with the boys while their grandmother is away. Uncle Rico’s own exploits add to the hilarity of a film with little in the way of substance, at least until Pedro decides to run for class president against the school’s most popular girl, Summer (Haylie Duff). Now, Napoleon and Pedro must work against all odds to win the school election…

The true strength of Napoleon Dynamite is its clan of outrageous characters, characters that are so outrageously ridiculous that every viewer can point out the mirror image of that character from his own high school yearbook or current life experience. The arrested social development of Napoleon and his friends are amplified for effect within the film’s context, drawing the viewer into a Lord of the Flies world of Darwinian adolescence. The humor is sometimes subtle, and Napoleon Dynamite is not to be confused with an Academy Award winning drama. But if you like stupid movies such Dumb And Dumber, then this is the film for you.

Napoleon Dynamite is a unique comedy which pushes the boundaries of plot-challenged, immature filmmaking. In short, you’ll love it. Most of the characters are so pathetic, you’ll find yourself laughing at them simply because they exist. One of the biggest surprises of 2004, Napoleon Dynamite is an oddball comedy that definitely ranks as a must-see movie…

By Shane Fallas

  When it comes to making videos available to everyone that wants to take a look at them is something that you can do easily with the many websites that are coming up online that allow video sharing freely. You might not think that there is much of a need or desire for this, yet this is something that you need to re-think because there really is a good market open for those that want to post a funny video or something that is designed to make people laugh like crazy at what they are watching.

You will need to check out the rules and guidelines and read the Terms of Service referred to as TOS on sites like so that you totally understand what you can and cannot post in terms of videos. There are many people that, for whatever reason, simply ignore the rules and are going against the TOS when they post something. You do not need to do something like that unless you really want to make a few people very angry with you and be bounced off of that particular website for disobeying the rules. You might not like it that there are rules as far as what types of video materials you can and cannot post, yet you need to respect those rules if you want to be allowed to post videos on that site.

You will need to remember that a Prank video that you want to post needs to be something that will not cause panic to those that are watching it. You might not be able to make any sense out of this, but it is being said for certain reasons. Granted, there are many people that really do like watching people get the living daylights scared out of them when a prank is pulled on them. We know that people that really like being able to watch videos like that and also being able to post videos so that others can also enjoy the videos that you make or have seen.

Those that are looking for a really sexy video will need to remember that there are some sexy videos that are simply too hot or steamy to be posted on regular websites like Vidbang and other such sites. You know there are some people who will say that simply watching a good looking man working outside shirtless. There are others that think that a woman who is walking very confidently with her head held high is sexy. What is considered sexy is subjective and depends upon what each person thinks is sexy.

Adding new videos to the website is pretty simple when you know what is allowed and what you cannot post because the content is not acceptable.

If you are trying to most something that is too sexually explicit (in terms of sexy videos) or a bit too far over the top as far as prank videos is concerned. Making sure that you know what you can and cannot post is good thinking.Please visit http://www.vidbang.com and http://www.frickenfunnyvideos.com
