Ninja Vengeance (1993)
What a horrible disappointment
This could have been one of those movies that's so bad it's good. And based on the cover art, that's exactly what you'd expect. A ninja fighting the KKK? Sounnds awesome! Too bad that's exactly what you don't get. There is no action in this movie. NONE. The so-called "ninja" that is the protagonist spends the entire movie running away from the KKK hicks and occasionally getting his butt kicked. You only know he's a ninja because the flashbacks tell you so.
You'll find more action in an episode of Sesame Street. More believable acting too. Don't watch this movie unless you're having trouble sleeping. That's about all it's good for.
How I Met Your Mother (2005)
Stop comparing this show to Friends!
When I first saw the ads for this show, I wasn't interested. And I'm a big Alyson Hannigan fan. It just looked like something that couldn't be carried very far.
Boy, was I wrong.
This show is one of the best comedies on television. The fact that it airs right before Two and a Half Men makes CBS the place to be on Monday nights. I just wish people would stop comparing this show to Friends. How I Met Your Mother is SO much better! Barney (played by Doogie Howser... uh, I mean, Neil Patrick Harris)is definitely the funniest one on the show. He's the scheming, goof ball, idiot with the hare-brained schemes, all the cheesy lines, and he pulls it off perfectly. However, all the rest of the cast pulls their weight as well.
In short, give this a watch. It's not Friends. But it's much better.
