Rent It Glance at the back of the Blu-ray package for Jessabelle , and a name might jump out at you: Robert Ben Garant. Comedy fans will recognize the name of comedian Thomas Lennon's long-time writing partner. Along with Kerri Kenney-Silver, Garant and Lennon created Comedy Central's “Reno 911!”, and are also the screenwriters behind the hugely successful Night at the Museum series
DVD Talk Collector Series German director-screenwriter Werner Herzog makes movies like no other. His best fiction features – in recent years he's become as famous for his documentaries – are hypnotic, dream-like mediations on obsession/passion/compulsion and often the clash of foreign plunderers, native peoples, and their natural environments, often told in operatic terms.

Recommended The Movie: Within the first ten minutes of the James Brown biopic Get On Up , we see the man playing James Brown, wearing makeup and hair enhancements, wander into what appears to be an insurance workshop of sorts, carrying a shotgun and demanding to know who used the toilet in his private office. This eventually leads to a police chase and eventual arrest
