PROBLEM: Terrific Series . From BBC,another terrific series.  As good as Prime Suspect, it's about the on-going core characters - all with their own psychological quirks, strengths and weaknesses as well as the crimes they need to solve.  Great acting, writing.  Suspenseful.  Now waiting for series 3, 1 & 2 are definately keepers

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Racist Movie - Worst Black Stereotyping I Have Ever Seen . This movie was pretty awful. Since I am ranking it with 1 star, then according to another reviewer I must not have a soul. Hey, it doesn't feel bad!    This movie has the worst black stereotyping of any of movie I have ever seen, particularly in a sci-fi movie. It is worse than the blaxploitation films of the 70's, which were at least entertaining.    This movie is about a group of teenage white kids, with one token black thrown in just for the hell of it. "But just how 'black' is he?," you may be wondering. Well the movie makes it clear that he's a true soul man because it goes out of its way to establish these facts:    1. He talks different from the whites. ("Hey Bodee." "His name's Bodhi!" "Well you say it your way, and I'll say it mine." Or something to that effect.)    2. He breakdances. (And we all know that all black people can breakdance, can't they?)    3. He likes basketball. (Again, every white person knows that black people all like basketball and they are all good at it, right?)    4. He raps. (Because a person isn't truly black unless they can do a little hip-hop, can they?)    I'm a white guy. And I'm not overly sensitive to racism issues. But watching this movie really surprised me. I was amazed to see such a blatant black stereotype. I can't say that it's a good thing. It is quite embarassing to watch, actually. What where they thinking? This movie would never have been made that way in today's day and age.      The movie itself is pretty lame. It was made back in the roller-blading / cyberpunk craze of the 80's. It has the usual bleak dystopian future typical of those movies in those days. It also features a funky little ball named Bodhi. It is the weirdest, most nonsensical story I have ever watched. It is almost like a bad dream that somebody wrote down as soon as they woke up, which was later worked into a screenplay.    This movie is so stupid that it is painful to watch. The only good reason to see it is to see a few young actors such as Jason Patric (The Lost Boys) and Jami Gertz (The Lost Boys, Twister, Still Standing). It is also nice to see Richard Jordan (Logan's Run), as well as the stunning Sarah Douglas (Superman II, Conan the Destroyer) starring in a villainess roll, as usual.     Sarah Douglas really does make a good villain, too. It's too bad that her talent was so wasted in this crapfest of a movie. "Sphere of longiness"? Ech!    I don't understand all you people who are giving this movie 5 stars. I mean, what are you thinking? It has to be just the "I love the 80's" nostalgia-factor kicking in. I don't see any other rational reason for this phenomenon.    And please. Skating on an overgrown road? Skating in the dirt? They'd get about 10 feet before a rock stuck in their skates and they went flying. It might be fun to watch if you can make yourself believe that rollerblades work in the sand.    I'd have to say, that other dystopian future skating flick, "Prayer of the Rollerboys" is a much better movie than this. Of course that ain't saying much, because that movie pretty much stinks too.    Buy something else. ANYTHING else. If not for yourself, then at least to show the black people of the world a little basic human respect

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Big giant kiss-up to a terrorist, before he was a mall goth T-shirt . Besides committing the worst cinematic sin of being boring and self-indulgent, this bromide of a film is an utter distortion of how Che Guevara developed into a sadistic murderer and rapist. This yawner shows him as a spoiled medical student who helps a leper colony, but does little to explain how he became a power-hungry militant with a notorious reputation for ruthlessness. He established forced labor camps to torture and kill innocent people. In one account, a child in his guerrila unit was immediately shot without trial for having stolen some food. He helped to destroy hundreds of years of a rich Cuban culture (see "Before Night Falls" to understand how the Castro government stifled free speech and tortured innocent people). Meanwhile, he was a hypocrite, living in a rich Havana estate like the so-called "capitalist oppressors" he tried to eradicate. But don't expect to see that story in this dull, droning film.

SOLUTION:
NEG
