Midsomer Murders: Second Sight (2005)
Very much below par in my opinion...
I am currently watching the entire show in chronological order, and I enjoy most of the episodes a whole lot. Unfortunately this is NOT one of them. The story is weak to say the least, and just like the previous reviewer, the identity of the murderer came as no surprise at all to me either. As the previous reviewer also stated, Barnaby seems to have very little interest in solving the murders, but a whole lot of interest in whether second sight is for real or not. Scott on the other hand seems almost mentally absent the entire episode...even when someone is threatening to kill him, he doesn't utter a word?!? Very strange as he is usually quite a loudmouth who doesn't take no c##p from anyone but Barnaby. The worst part though, is the VERY obvious plot-hole that makes no sense at all. In the start of the episode the first kid who dies, swings right and left to hit whoever he can, and is then held down by 6 men. When they release their grip on him, he's apparently dead. Good enough, but at the end it is revealed that the murderer gave him a deadly blow with a large candlestick??? So the kid gets a deadly blow over the head, and naturally decides to go out and pound someone else in the head, during which he dies...YEAH RIGHT!! That really ruined this episode for me...
Marked for Death (1990)
The very best from Lord Seagal!!!
Wow! Can it get any better than this?. This movie is awesome. It's been fifteen years since the last time I saw this movie, and I was afraid that I would be disappointed, when I decided to give it another shot. Well...That definitely was'nt the case. I am very surprised that "Marked for death" have defied father time, and still seems as cool and refreshing to me, as it did in 1992. Guru Steven Seagal defined action in the 90's, and deserves much credit therefore. If you long to see "The Master" at the absolute peak of his movie career, then this is the film to watch!!!. He kicks, he hits, he breaks bones, he shoots, and he smiles while doing it. This movie has it all: It's action-packed, it's funny, it's dramatic and it's very violent. Deserves a place at the Martial Arts top 5, along with "The prodigal son", "Fist of fury", "Drunken Master" and "Once upon a time in China".
Sahyeongsaje (1982)
Well....Unusual early 80's Gung-fu movie!!!
This movie, in my opinion, is GREAT! For starters it has Hwang Jang Lee as one of the main characters(Villain, of course). He reprises his role as "Silver Fox"...A role he's quite familiar with, and boy is he good at it!?! The hero is perhaps the greatest portrayed fool ever in the history of martial arts...Billy Chan's desperate trying to play the role serious, only adds to the enjoyment and laughter. For about 80 percent of the movie, he gets beaten up...I love it! Then at the final fight: Billy vs. Hwang, he receives so many kicks and punches, before he mounts a comeback, that it makes Rocky IV look like a boxing documentary. All in all, a fantastic movie, well choreographed with fluid camera-work. 80 minutes of SOLID ENTERTAINMENT! I'll give it 8 OUT OF 10 ********.
