Saturday Night at the Movies
1) The Last Samurai is better than Kill Bill, which is probably the most comparable film I've seen this year. I like much about it - the Japanese Asceticism and discipline, 19th century fashion, and head choppy-off fighting with Ninjas, all done better than Tarantino managed, and with more heart too.
Am I the only one who feels Tarantine to be a one-trick pony whose time has passed?
2) Highlander: Endgame is the fourth or fifth sequel to the well-received 1986 original, and further sodomises what moldering remains of the original can be found. Terrible, terrible, terrible. Not 'so bad it's good'. Just bad. You thought Highlander 2: The Quickening was bad? You ain't seen nothin'.
3) Inseminoid. A classic piece of zero-budget early eighties British sci-fi horror, in which a Cheryl-Baker-out-of-Bucks-Fizz lookalike has a nasty encounter with an Alien Vampire with a Cyber-schlong, and her day doesn't improve much after that. So bad it's good. Considerably better than Highlander: Endgame, to be sure.
