Patriot (2015)
Wrong title
The series should be called "Chauvinist".
What is necessary is a TV show where an Iranian intelligence officer must prevent the United States from retaining their nuclear weapons and how he ultimately succeeds.
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
avoid like the plague
"reservoir dogs" is the perfect example of a movie that continues to receive praise albeit it deserves none of it.
it is a weak rip-off of ringo lam's "city on fire" -- a bit of cinematographic education goes a long way and i recommend watching the original instead of this over-hyped puke.
Tarantino has made two good movies during his career, "pulp fiction" and "jackie brown" ... other than that, he has proved to be a one-trick pony that recycles the same pattern over and over again.
it is intriguing that people give this flick such high ratings, which leads to the conclusion that most of them are based on the lack of knowledge as to its history (of plagiarism).
Meng nan da zei yan zhi hu (1978)
the epitome of trash!
i have repeatedly watched this movie on German TV in the wee hours of the morning and much of my fascination for it derives from the absolutely preposterous dialogue that has been very possibly not only preserved, but even enhanced by the German translation | dubbing.
exceptionally cheap production, non-existent acting and a script that never progressed past the storyboard | exposé stage are sure-shot ingredients for a cult classic of a) how not to do it if you want to shoot a serious movie. b) how to do it if you want to pay homage to the camp fun movies like »black belt jones« et al.
all in all, two semi-undercover (they blow their cover themselves) cops and a sexy interpol agent attempt to infiltrate and bust a counterfeit organization-mass panic and third-rate fight sequences (but first-rate third-rate fight sequences) ensue! i highly recommend the movie to people who enjoy memorizing insane one-liners and share them with their friends and acquaintances in the worst possible moment. :)
as an extra bonus to those that are into the eastern genre i should add that bolo yeung stars in the movie as well.
good times.
