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.

1. Nope, your not the only one who thinks the little jerks time has past. Although he wrote some fantastic movies (True Romance, NBK) all his best work was then re-written and filmed by someone else (True Romance, NBK, the second half of Duck Till Dawn).

2. Worse than Highlander 2?! But thats not possible!?!

If not worse they were certainly trying to go for a tie. Not only did it not have anything that makes a good film, it also had crappy cheap special effects too.
