Titus

Titus
$24.98
I actually saw this movie 4 times when it was in theaters in 1999. Some have made comments that all the good Shakespeare roles were taken and that Anthony Hopkins got stuck with Titus. I have to question if they actually understood the movie.

Julie Taymor, perhaps one of the least appreciated directors of our time, picked Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" was one of The Bard's first works to be published around 1594 and may be his earliest tragedy. The story revolves around the fall of a Roman general (Titus) and the series of events set in motion by his enemy Tamora, The Queen of the Goths (played to perfection by Jessica Lang) and her sons Chiron and Demetrius (Johnathan Rhys-Myers and Matthew Rhys respectively.) Aided by Aaron the Moor (Harry Lennix), one of Tamora's lovers and the newly crowned Emperor of Rome, Saturninus (Alan Cumming), Tamora extracts her revenge on Titus in a brutal and vile manner.

There are decapitations, drug use, rape, cannibalism and nudity throughout the movie so it isn't for everyone. The play itself was labeled as Shakespeare's gruesome work. It is a difficult film to watch at times because of the pure hate the brews within some of the characters and the depravity of their souls. A stellar cast that includes Colm Feore ("Chicago," "24" and 2011's "Thor") and Angus Macfadyen ("Alias," "Saw 3,4 and 5" and "Californiacation,") "Titus" is a definite must see for movies that march to a different beat.

Director Julie Taymor (perhaps one of the least appreciated directors of our time) first came to fame with her elaborate and creative staging the "The Lion King" on Broadway which made history when Taymor won the Tony for Best Director of a Musical, something a woman had not accomplished prior. She is currently working with U2's Bono and The Edge on the stage musical "Spider-Man:Turn off the Dark." She has also directed the films "Frida" with Salma Hayek and "Across the Universe," a musical set to songs written by The Beatles. The next film up for Taymor is another of Shakespeare's works, "The Tempest" which stars Alfred Molina, Alan Cumming, Russell Brand and Helen Mirren.

"Titus" is good, very good. But like I said before, it's not for everyone. Just be patient with the film. Like Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film "Romeo + Juilet," "Titus" is Shakespeare like you've never seen before.

Christopher Titus: Love is Evol
$16.99
Very funny, but what I liked best was that it was really helpful because it made me realize that the abuse that my ex put me through wasn't my fault. The bit about apologizing for getting stabbed really struck a chord. I had been blaming myself for the way that she treated me, this performance made the hurt go away for a while, brought some much needed laughter to an extremely broken heart, and made me realize that I was lucky it didn't work out. Fantastic.

Titus - Season 3
$29.97
The third season goes where it turns out Fox feared to tread. It's great, great stuff, but kind of weird to watch now that we're hearing that the real life Erin was a lying cheating abusive whore who robbed him blind and then accused Christopher of abuse in court to beat the no-fault clause. It's also sad to hear that his real sister committed suicide, just like his mom. After this, get Love is Evol and find out how to get up after a life that would finish most of us off and get on with it, because "You don't get a rebate." Go with God, Christopher, and many thanks.Christopher Titus: Love is Evol
