Today watched In the heat of the night. An enjoyable and noteworthy film. Excellent performances from Sydney Portier and Rod Steiger. First time a black slaps a white man in the face on camera I believe. What else? Oh yeah, watched Ricki-oh, a korean gore horror about some convict in a prison run by a militant warden with a fat stupid son. Entertaining but a terrible film, gore was laughable and a true low budget 80's film, nevertheless I actually liked watching this.
Also watched some mystery science theatre, a hilarious low budget TV show from the states, ithink from about a decade ago. A nice guy smart presenter with two foul mouthed crude talking robots. In the show they watch the worst film ever made and sort of make their own dialogue. I don't think many people would like this but I thought it was great!

Recently saw Step brothers for the second time, what a comedy. Will Ferral and John C. Reilly are a fantastic comical pair and are brilliant as manchild characters, good idea and well executed. As a result of this I watched Talladega Nights, the ballad of Ricky Bobby for the second time also. Loved this one too, especially the extended edition, some brilliant dialogue, especially from Ricky's dad (the actor's name escapes me). Liked these films coz they are ultimate feel good films and it's nice to occasionally have a break from all the serious stuff i sometimes watch. Also checked out the extended editions of the lord of the rings trilogy. Can't believe how much extra background is in these cuts, it makes the story much fuller and to me, more enjoyable. The making of documentaries are great to watch especially if you are studying film, I was especially intrigued by the script development process, which had some extensive work and high levels of stress from what I gathered.
