Kevin has made a few disappointing films over the years, but I wouldn’t say he’s a bad filmmaker.

The 4:30 Movie is quite good, and probably the most mature comedy he’s ever made. It really felt like a return to form so I’d recommend giving that a chance if you enjoyed his early work.

Tales From the Hood (1995) and Tales From the Hood 2 (2018) were both directed by Rusty Cundieff and written by Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott. They’re horror comedies (Cundieff would go on to direct many of the sketches from Chappelle’s Show (2003) so those might be good options if you want a palate cleanser after more serious fare.

There’s also a third ‘Tales From the Hood’, but I haven’t seen it, so I can’t speak to its quality, but it’s got the same creative team.

Agreed, when I rewatch Dexter I always stop after season 4. It doesn’t get better than the Trinity killer storyline. That might be one of the best single seasons of television ever. And it’s crazy how bad that show got by the end… talk about going from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows! Although even at its worst the show still managed to be better than the books.

It’s not flattering.

Agreed, I loved the casting but was a bit disappointed with the movie itself but I’m glad they’re bringing him back for more.

I’ve been looking forward to this for a while. I never would’ve considered Colin Farrell for The Penguin but he pulled it off in what limited screen time he got in The Batman. So at the very least, we’re in for a good performance. I just hope the writing will be on par with The Batman.

Oh well. I guess this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the show’s disinterest in the source material and Paramount’s precarious position these days.
