La troca perrona (2003)
This contains some spoilers, such as made it across the language barrier.....
First off, I don't speak Spanish any better than your average highschool graduate. And this DVD has no subtitles. Yet for some reason I bought it out of the $5.50 bin at Walmart. I was there at 2am and not sober.
As I watch this film, my first impression is that Mexican movies look exactly like the Mexican TV we get here in Dallas. Then there's some shooting. Some guy falls in a pool. Ewww. Have you ever wondered, when you went swimming in a public pool, whether a dead body has ever floated in it? There's a girl talking in Spanish. Sounds like family drama or something. Oh, she's driving away. The girl was kind of cute.
I can pick up a word here and there. "Wife", "Money". The music tells me what the mood is. So in this scene i see that some guy is upset, and is in some way thinking of his wife and money. Oh no! Police. Jail. Oh my, who is that? I don't know, but he looks unhappy about something. He's screams something I don't understand.
I would definitely recommend this film, if only for the music.
Irish American Ninja (2005)
"The funniest ninja movie since... ever?"
Personally, I thought this film was brilliant. Now granted, I live in Dallas (where it was filmed), and I have a tendency to love bad films to begin with, but...
The movie is done in a mockumentary style, interviewing George McGoogle about his life in E-Hollywood Story type fashion. We follow him as he recaps (and enacts) his adventures, trials, tribulations, and film career. As the DVD cover tells us "There's a lot of kicking in this movie!" It also features hit music by Wally Pleasant, who I have never heard of outside of the context of this film.
Two recommendations when you do decide to watch the film: -don't cut it off before the credits are over, it's worth it to wait -watch it with the commentary, it's tortuously entertaining
