AS THE ACE OF SPADES updated with review

Today's movie was not a movie but a DVD of Lewis Black's latest tour Stark Raving Black (2009)

Black does mostly black humor.

He is very funny, so much so that, at the end of the concert, there is a bit of a guilty shame attached to having such a good time and laughing so hard so long.

Black does transgressive humor in a time when that is hard to do, so much is now permitted.

The thing is that he does it in a very intelligent way. He is not brutal. He does not do insult humor. He will offend but you will forgive.

I have liked him from the first moment that I saw him. I will give this a 4 out of Netflix5 because it is always worth seeing him again and again in the same routines although all of this material was new to me.
