 Review of "Down to Earth" (2001)
And while not all of the jokes in the film are as observant or well-executed as that one, most still work, even if the bulk of them are lifted from Chris Rock’s shows “Bring the Pain” and “Bigger and Blacker.” An okay film, if a tad forgettable and uninspired.
We see the character as Chris Rock, a slim black man, while everyone in the movie sees him at the overweight Caucasian tycoon Hence, this is essentially an entire movie based on a single running joke, as Rock runs around rapping and performing at Brooklyn comedy clubs as if he were his prior self.
And with Down to Earth, Chris Rock’s first starring vehicle, it looks as though this young comedian may fall into the same trap.

 CD Baby: MIKE BORGIA: Blood and Moonlight - from rocketradio
Mike Borgia, Blood and Moonlight (© 2003 Mike Borgia) On the opening track, "Where You Are," the anguish and turns of Borgia's voice bring to mind Janis Joplin – throaty, gin-drenched, and filled with pain.
Borgia's first effort is mostly acoustic (though the breakout rock-and-roll numbers are good as well).
Surprisingly, New York singer/songwriter Mike Borgia’s claim to delivering “vocals reminiscent of Chris Cornell” is fairly accurate, though his delivery is closer to Cornell’s acoustic work on his solo debut, Euphoria Morning than the Herculean lungpower that defined Soundgarden’s entire body of work.

 Chris Rock to perform at Hill Auditorium
Chris Rock is bringing the pain to the University's Hill Auditorium this Sunday.
Sponsored by Hillel and Greek Week '97, Rock is certain to give much of the politically incorrect humor that propelled him through "Saturday Night Live," "Bring the Pain," on HBO and a new talk show on HBO.
Regardless, Rock is certain to receive much love from the University community as he spouts irreverent humor all night long at Hill Auditorium.

 Bad Company London Movie Review
Anyway, this Other Brother is played by the more familiar, wisecracking Chris Rock that you may remember from such great concert movies as Bring The Pain, as well as such stinkeroos as Down To Earth.
Originally intended as an 80s action vehicle, it finally got dusted off and brought to life, only for September 11th to put the kibosh on its oh-so-topical ‘terrorists planning to blow up New York’ plot.
Bad Company has not had an easy ride.
