The golden voice of radio, or as he likes to call himself The King of All Media, Howard Stern, has proven in this movie "Private Parts" time and time again: "trash is gold." In this 1997 movie Private Parts starring the King of All Media, Stern, and his cohorts, Robin Quiver, Jackie "The Joker Man" Martling, Struttering John, Bababooyee, etc., retells Howard Sterns climb to stardom ending up on top of the Big Apple. From his neighborhoods on Long island to Boston University, where he met his wife Alison, to Detroit radio, to Washington DC radio, and finally back to the Big Apple, NYC, radio this movie shows his drive and the obstacles, like Pig Vomit, a radio executive who dislikes him, he faced on his quest for stardom. This movie is about his determination, and his vision of giving the public what they truly want: they want: to laugh. To make his listeners laugh: Stern uses sex. Sex fuels his on air conversation. Sex sells; and Stern knows it. Even though the radio executives are concerned about his foul mouth and being censored by the federal government, once they see his ratings, which go through the roof in the early and mid-1980s, they realize they have a radio super talent in their mist. Many are listening and chuckling at Stern's sex antics on the radio. It's all an act, yet the most popular act in NYC, then around the country. The formula to Stern's success is sex,And he continues to rant about sexual taboo topics. Like the 1950s comic, Lenny Bruce, Stern is sex obsessed, yet unlike the comic Lenny Bruce, Stern had struck gold. Thirty-three years after his NYC radio debut, in 1982, the movie was released in 1997, Stern is still a big star today. His success and drive back then when he first graduate college in the mid-1970s has kept him in the public eye today. Even though he has toned down his act on TV, Stern is still a celebrity. In the movie, it seems as if Stern's fundamental belief is that his radio audience find European classical arts, like Mozart, boring: he believes his audience want to be excited and entertained. Cheap thrills means trash is gold. And he delivers by using sex. As a result, he ends up with spectacularly high radio ratings, and becomes a nationally media superstar. As a movie, Private Parts is basically a biography. It could have been named the Howard Stern's Life Story. The movie also shows how he succeeded and rose to the top of his profession. How? He chatted about sex. In a puritanical society, such talk is trash, yet for Stern, as a result, trash turned into gold. He became a media superstar, or as he likes to say King of all Media. As a movie, this one is a very good biography of someone who had climbed successfully and reached national stardom. For Howard Stern fans, this movie is a can't miss. If not a Stern fan, it's still worth watching. Stern's climb to dizzying heights of celebrity stardom simply reflects how in our culture: trash is gold. That ideal has been proven time and time again: give the public what it wants, make that burger with fries, and where's the TV guide? As far as the acting, Stern plays himself, and his acting is plausible, good enough. So is the acting of his cohorts. It's a fun movie to watch. More exciting culturally for many than listening and watching the Vienna orchestra perform Mozart's Magic Flute. Stern has tapped into the national consciousness of giving to he public what it wants. On the radio and screen. does the public want Rock n' Roll? Of course.. Beethoven? No. Howard Stern? Yes.

Private Parts is the biographical film about Howard Stern, starring Howard Stern. It portrays the radio shock jock as someone who was completely insecure. The persona that he portrayed on the air was just an act. He actually questioned everything he did. The film humanizes Stern. You would never know the young guy portrayed in Private Parts who used a fake voice and was afraid of tripping over himself would become such a gigantic radio personality. He was also a dedicated husband despite all the times he talked about sex with women on the air. The main take away from Private Parts was that Stern struggled for years to get into the radio business. When he finally found his style, which was talking, doing skits, including plenty of sex he got in endless trouble with his bosses. It was like Stern against the traditional radio system, and he actually thrived on that. He included his disputes into his radio show and got more listeners because of it. That’s what the story really portrays is how Stern found his place in the industry. There are of course plenty of laughs along the way. C

Of course the movie deserves 4 stars, however I wish I could say the same for the DVD. What does it take for DVD company to release each DVD enhanced for 16x9 TVs? Nothing! Recently I bought a SONY BRAVIA 32 INCH display and I have a collection of over 600 Dvds. I learned now about "Enhanced for 16x9 TVs" and how important it is, I did not care about it or even know about it since I own a standard TV, however all my Dvds are Region 1 and in widescreen, I never buy fullscreen Dvds. So I did an inventory on my collection and realized the following: Out of 600+ Dvds, 42 are NOT enhanced for 16x9 TVs and they really look horrible when I played them on my PC. Anyway, according to my inventory. THE FOLLOWING MOVIES / COMPANY HAVE FAILED TO PRODUCE ANAMORPHIC OR 16X9 WIDESCREEN and I hope that these company will release them in the near future so that we can enjoy them on our TVs. MGM: Runaway Train Graduate No Way Out Prizzi's Honor FX Shallow Grave Thief House Of Games Dead Man Walking Misery The Eye Of The Needle Overboard PARAMOUNT: Private Parts 48 Hrs Coming To America Primal Fear The Ghost And The Darkness Breakdown UNIVERSAL: Day Of The Jackal Psycho (AVAILABLE IN THE RECENT HITCHCOCK'S BOXSET AS ANAMORPHIC) Vertigo (AVAILABLE IN THE RECENT HITCHCOCK'S BOXSET AS ANAMORPHIC) The Game FOX: Abyss (I WAS SHOCKED TO LEARN THAT MY 2-DISC IS NOT ANAMORPHIC, NOR IS THE LATEST DIGIPACK EDITION) Raising Arizona The Edge Great Expectations Rising Sun The Ref Romancing The Stone The Jewel Of The Nile ARTISAN: House Of The Spirits The Last Seduction The Last Emperor The Eagle Has Landed Bound PS: PLEASE ARTISAN, INSTEAD OF RELEASING 'BASIC INSTINCT' FOR THE 4TH TIME, WHICH MOST HAVE ALMOST THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS, CONSIDER RELEASING SOME MORE INTERESTING MOVIES WITH PROPER ATTENTION SUCH AS THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE. TOUCHSTONE / WALT DISNEY: Ransom What About Bob? PS: IT IS A GREAT NEWS THAT TOUCHSTONE ARE RELEASING 'ENEMY OF THE STATE', CRIMSON TIDE' AND 'CON AIR' IN EXTENDED UNRATED EDITIONS ON MAY 16. I WISH THOUGH THEY DID THE SAME WITH 'RANSOM' WARNER: 91/2 Weeks Presumed Innocent NOTE THAT WARNER STUDIO IS RELEASING ONE OF THE BEST 2-DISC SPECIAL EDITION SUCH AS 'SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION', 'HEAT', 'MALCOLM X', 'DOG DAY AFTERNOON', 'ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN' AND MANY MANY MORE. The reason why they don't release every DVD in widescreen enhanced for 16x9 is beyond me since soon Widescreen Tvs will replace standard ones. IT IS A RELIEF THAT AMAZON IS NOW STATING WHETHER THE DVD IS ANAMORPHIC OR LETTERBOXED.

This is a great story about a young boy who wants to be like his Dad, working In Radio. (Capitalization for emphasis, but I really want lights and sparkles on that, because it's special.) After a few cast changes to show age, the young boy turns into a college aged Weird Al Yankovic look-alike, doing much stranger things than the average parody song we so know and love. (Don't believe me? I added pictures to prove it.) Luckily, there's another cast change hidden as a scene shaving off a mustache, and suddenly Weird Al turns into Howard Stern in all his testosterone-laden, FCC-challenging glory. Long live the King. I read the book many years ago - not recently enough to remember how it compares to the movie. All joking aside, it's a decent watch about how Howard became a household name that started the shock jock style of radio, launched countless imitators, and managed to maintain a family along the way. (At least for the time frame of this movie. Life happens.) It stars Howard, Robin, and others that we're more familiar with by voice than by face, as well as actors and actresses to fill in other key roles as well. It doesn't contain any big reveals or surprises, especially years later when shock jock vs producer is common and personal lives are aired more than laundry, but it's a nice capture of the era it recreated. One of my favorite movies? Probably not, but a decent watch anyway.

A true story of Howard Sterns life on his way to becoming The King Of All Media. You see him as a nerd growing up to super star the world over. NOBODY believed in him but he kept pushing and won. You see how he met and put together his incredible team of friends. It stars them and they are surprisingly very good, even Howard. It's funny and real at the same time. Howard and many others say it is almost 100% true facts. A great movie not for the young.

You can tell that a person is a legend when all the right people hate him. Therefore, Howard Stern is a legend, and this is the story of his legendary rise. That doesn't mean that he gets a pass on things like treating his wife badly or making humor for humorless situations. But when it comes to making entertainment entertaining, and being a staunch defender of free speech, and speaking truth to (fake corporate) power, Howard Stern is an example for us all. The wife gives it four stars. But right after giving it four stars, she says, "Wow, that was a GREAT movie!" So I went with my own evaluation of five stars. This is not only a great film and clear work of hagiography, but placed in the context of his entire life (which is worthy of a superhero movie if not a hagiography) it is also a work of history. Read up on what happened after the AC/DC performance and listen to his show online if nothing else. This is one character in American history that, again, while far from perfect (or at times, even admirable), is worth you knowing about.

In the 1980s and 1990s, I did not appreciate Howard Stern and his sexist remarks and behavior in the media. He sure had gotten the attention he wanted, and I thought he was simply a jerk. As with many, I knew nothing about his personal life, but disliked him because of his media personality. In this movie, he is depicted as a really nice guy who loves his wife and very loyal to his co-workers. I saw this film at a young age, and didn't quite appreciate it because I thought it was a fake display of his real life in order to change the minds of the audience about who he is as a real person. However, seeing Howard Stern in other capacities these days, not as a disk jockey, but as a tv personality, I believe this movie is genuine about his struggles to make it big in the media. The movie gets five stars because the acting was good, the story line explains a lot, and it brings out a lot of emotions: funny, angry, sad, etc. The chronological story-telling makes it easy to understand, and it was interesting to see the ups and downs of his life just like any other lives. Well done.
