Highlander: Forgive Us Our Trespasses (1997)
Methos fighting
Great episode revealing the background story of MacLeod. Fantastic swordplay. The advice from Methos was wise and it was a joy to see him fight. I suspect Methos is a great fighter who downplays his ability. Very cool, would watch again just to see Methos fight.
Highlander: The Blitz (1996)
The worst of the worst Highlander Episodes
Wow, season 5 has the real extreme bad and good episodes. This one, there is no swordplay and really, nothing really having to do with being immortal. The bodycount outcome is pretty poor, with innocent mortals dying and the cheesy ending was pretty lame. I would not watch this one again.
O Mecanismo (2018)
Based on a true story
This was such a good story and well told. The plot is based on events that are still happening in Brazilian politics. Corruption is exposed, and you realize that the mechanism is pervasive throughout society. Because of the lack of morality and honor in the system, everyone has to be part of the corruption or nothing gets done. Its a commentary about the sad state of the world we live in. To be clean and decent is to sacrifice, not be part of it, and try to fix things yourself. Very hard for everyone to live honorably, but there are some.
Kerd ma lui (2004)
Hideous disaster
There is no aspect of this movie that I was not completely embarrassed to behold.
30 minutes: Welcome to Thailand. Thailand is beautiful. Buddha is our only advocate. We are Thai. We love Thailand sooo much. Thailand is great. We are peaceful.
30 minutes: Random thugs out of nowhere capture a village, annihilating 100 children in the process.
10 minutes: Remaining villagers wailing. But whatever can they do?
30 minutes: THEY REMEMBER THEY ARE THAI. They listen to the Thai national anthem. They squeeze images of the good king of Thailand in their sweaty fist and say patriotic things. Then a village of completely twiggy people have some insane battle versus thugs with automatic rifles. The villagers are not unarmed, however. They attack with daunting weapons such as wicker balls, grapefruit, and a tea kettle. And of course, there is a dopey villager running back and forth through the carnage waving the Thai flag.
45 seconds: Character development and crying.
NEGATIVE TWELVE STARS
Pootie Tang (2001)
I'm gonna sign your pity on the runny kind! capa-town!
the movie was so good, i was on the floor laughing while I was waiting for the elevator. the thing is that no one knows what you're laughing about because it doesn't make any sense. sa-dah-tay! the best parts were the part in the beginning with the heartbroken women yelling at him, then tossing the bigwheel out of the window... and of course, biggie shorty is my idol. i want to groove like that. just cause a woman wants to dress up fancy and hang out by the whores doesn't mean she's hooking. *thwack!*
