Although you probably haven’t seen one in real life unless you live in a major metropolitan city, thanks to any number of movies, you’re probably aware of the species of car known as the low rider. What makes these cars different from the ordinary is that their suspensions have been dramatically altered – usually with the assistance of hydraulics – so that the height of the vehicle can be adjusted at the driver’s discretion. You know what I’m talking about: you hear the stereo pumping, you brace yourself as the volume increases, and suddenly there’s a car beside you, bouncing…

All men have stories of their first love, and here is mine, so let it be told: I was nine years old, her name was Kathy Hawbaker, and she lived a street over from me. She made me feel funny in my tummy whenever I looked at her, so, after having received all the information on love I was sure I was ever going to need courtesy of movies, TV, and top-40 song lyrics, I decided to make a romantic gesture on Valentine’s Day. I bought a card and a box of candy – both of which ended up being…

When Roger Ebert offered his opinion of “An Unfinished Life” upon its initial release, he observed that the typical review for the film would include three things: • A mention of the fact that it was kept on the shelf at Miramax for two years and was finally released as part of the farewell flood of leftover product produced by the Weinstein brothers. • An observation that Robert Redford and Morgan Freeman are trying to be Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman (in “Million Dollar Baby”). • A lack of respect for J-Lo, mostly just because she’s J-Lo and can’t seem…

As frontman for the legendary rap group Run-DMC, Reverend Run – born Joseph Simmons – has kept it on the down-low for the past few years, since the tragic death of his bandmate, Jam Master Jay. 2005, however, brings the Reverend’s first-ever solo album, Distortion, as well as the debut of his MTV “reality sitcom,” called – what else – “Run’s House.” (Whose house?) The good Reverend took time to speak to Bullz-Eye about these things, the VH-1 Hip Hop Honors, and his Words of Wisdom, occasionally even letting us get a word in edgewise…if rarely to actually finish our…

He was born Herbert Streicher in Manhattan, but those who know their porn will be more familiar with him by his most famous stage name: Harry Reems. Nowadays, the former star of “Deep Throat,” as well as “Sherlick Holmes,” “Erotic Doctor Jekyll,” and “For Your Thighs Only,” is, if you can believe it, just another guy in his late 50s, someone who could be your next-door neighbor. Long since retired from the adult film industry, Reems broke a two-decade media silence to appear in “Inside Deep Throat,” the documentary about his most famous film that’s now coming to DVD. Reems…

My father has seen “Deep Throat.” When this information first presented itself – it came up when I mentioned to him that I’d interviewed Harry Reems, to which he responded, “Well, I can’t remember what he looks like, but I’ve seen ‘Deep Throat,’ so I know I’ve seen him before” – inappropriately or not, I found it mildly disconcerting. You may have to begrudgingly accept that, at some point, your parents have had sex…but it’s hard to wrap your head around a concept like, “My dad has seen a porn flick.” “Deep Throat,” however, wasn’t just a porn flick. It…

I can still remember the first time I saw “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.” I went to see it in the theater because the preview made it look pretty funny…but when the lights went down, the credits rolled, and this strange man-child began his morning rituals, I wasn’t sure what to make of it all. It struck me as less funny and more disconcerting that a grown man was acting so childish. Eventually, of course, I’d come to realize that it was downright hilarious. Pee-Wee Herman was a creation of comedian Paul Reubens that came to fruition during his years as a…

Judd Apatow might not be a household name, but it’s safe to say that, if his name isn’t known in your household, you haven’t been getting enough comedy in your diet. He spent the early ‘90s as a writer and producer on series like “The Larry Sanders Show,” “The Critic,” and “The Ben Stiller Show” before moving on to the show which really helped him make his mark in TV history: “Freaks and Geeks.” After that, Apatow moved on to the college sitcom, “Undeclared,” then produced the film “Anchorman.” Most recently, he wrote, directed, and produced “The 40 Year Old…

In the world of deadpan comedians, there are few with a delivery that can match Jonathan Katz. Katz’s name and voice became a staple on Comedy Central in the mid-‘90s, thanks to his animated series, “Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist,” which, thanks to its never-ending stream of guest voices (Dr. Katz’s patients were voiced by comedians ranging from Emo Phillips to the Smothers Brothers), kept viewers tuning in for five seasons. Comedy Central is finally releasing the first season of “Dr. Katz” on DVD, which inspired its namesake to chat with Bullz-Eye, telling jokes and dropping names, as well as providing…

Bart: “What’s that smell?” Lisa: “It smells like Otto’s jacket.” ~”The Simpsons” Most manly men will claim that musicals are the lowest form of entertainment and aren’t worth wasting your time watching, but, nowadays, even some of those guys have been swayed by funny stuff like “Avenue Q,” “The Producers,” and “Monty Python’s Spamalot.” “Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical,” based on a stage production done in both New York and Los Angeles (itself based on an unintentionally-funny film from the ’30s), is actually closer in tone to “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” with a little bit of “South Park: Bigger,…
