"Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic" showcases the comic-actress in her familiar on-stage persona as a blithely self-involved Jewish American Princess whose penchant for perky vulgarity can be explosively funny or unnervingly shocking.

Coming across like the love child of Lenny Bruce and Sandra Bernhard, Sarah Silverman has something to offend everyone in the film rendition of her live performance at North Hollywood’s El Portal Theater. “Sarah Silverman: Jesus Is Magic” showcases the comic-actress in her familiar on-stage persona as a blithely self-involved Jewish American Princess whose penchant for perky vulgarity can be explosively funny or unnervingly shocking (and sometimes both, simultaneously). Pic should please longtime fans, and may impress viewers who know Silverman only as a quirky character actress (“The School of Rock,” TV’s “Greg the Bunny”).
Despite occasional cutaways to off-stage skits (featuring, among others, fellow comics Brian Posehn and Bob Odenkirk) and a few deliberately cheesy production numbers, pic remains mostly stagebound as Silverman sounds off on various topics in a freewheeling monologue punctuated with songs. As she comments on the absurdities of a world in which she, and she alone, always should be the center of attention, no subject — not even 9/11 or the Holocaust — is off limits.
From the start, Silverman indicates everything and everyone, including herself, is fair game during her unflinching pursuit of big laughs. (“I was raped by a doctor — which is so bittersweet for a Jewish girl.”) In fact, she’s rarely more hilarious than when she makes herself the punchline of her nastiest cracks. Rail-thin yet full-bosomed, she’s sufficiently attractive to infuse her talk of sexual misadventures with none-too-subtle erotic charge.
For some viewers, Silverman’s iconoclastic envelope-pushing will be genuinely discomforting, if not completely off-putting. She skates on perilously thin ice as she unapologetically rationalizes her use of language that is, at best, racially insensitive — and at worst, just plain racist. On the other hand, she diminishes the sting of her tasteless slanguage by reminding the audience that, what the hell, her on-stage persona isn’t exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer: “I don’t care if you think I’m racist. I just want you to think I’m thin.”
Helmer Liam Lynch does a respectable job of using off-stage elements as bridges and counterpoints. To her credit, though, Silverman doesn’t cheat during these in-between bits: She remains “in character” even when she’s being a backstage prima donna. Her refusal to be easily likable is perversely adorable.

Reviews for "Magic the Dragon Beanie Baby: Tales and Stories by Collectors"
1. Emily - 1 star
I was extremely disappointed with the Magic the Dragon beanie baby. The quality of the material used felt cheap and flimsy, and it didn't hold up well to even the slightest bit of play. Additionally, the stuffing started to come out almost immediately after I purchased it. The design of the dragon itself was also lackluster, with dull colors and a generic shape. Overall, I found this beanie baby to be a waste of money and would not recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and visually appealing stuffed toy.

I had high hopes for the Magic the Dragon beanie baby, but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. One of the major issues I had was with the stitching quality. The seams were poorly done and started to come apart within a few days of normal play. This not only made the toy look messy but also posed a potential safety hazard with small children around. Additionally, the dragon's wings weren't securely attached, and they would frequently detach during play, requiring constant readjustment. It's a shame because the dragon's design is cute, but the execution and durability are severely lacking.

I was quite underwhelmed with the Magic the Dragon beanie baby. The overall appearance of the dragon was far less vibrant and detailed than the promotional images suggested. The colors looked faded and were not as visually appealing in person. Moreover, the dragon's proportions seemed off, with a large head and tiny limbs that made it feel imbalanced. Additionally, the stuffing inside the dragon was unevenly distributed, resulting in a lumpy and lopsided toy. Overall, I regretted purchasing this beanie baby and would recommend prospective buyers to look for a higher quality alternative.
