Kannibal (2001)
What a piece of crap!
Can't make up its mind whether it's a low-quality porno flick or a low-quality `slasher'-type horror flick; but it does very, very poorly at being either. A total, complete, unmitigated, inexcusable waste of the batteries used to power the cheap camcorder with which it was apparently filmed.
Meet Joe Black (1998)
Much too long. Would be a great movie if it was edited down quite a bit.
My wife described this movie as `boring and tedious'. While I liked it somewhat more than she did, I do think that it was much too long, and parts of it seemed to drag on endlessly. This movie tells a great story, but it could have told this story much better in two hours than in nearly three.
Timecop (1997)
The series that ABC wanted to kill...
How else can you explain it? They were constantly shifting this show around from one time slot to another, preempting it with sporting events, and generally making it difficult for anyone who wanted to watch this show to know when to tune in. And then, *BIG SURPRISE*, halfway through the season, they decided it wasn't getting good ratings (I can't imagine why) and cancelled it.
Johnny Bago (1993)
Am I the only one who remembers this show?
Johnny is the `white sheep' of a mafia family, and a terrible embarrassment to them. Just released from jail, after serving time for a crime he didn't commit, he's framed for a murder.
Not wishing to return to prison, he becomes a fugitive. In the first episode, he takes up with a kindly old man in a motorhome. The old man dies (peacefully, while fishing -- no foul play), and Johnny takes off in the motorhome, with his parole officer (who also happens to be his very spiteful ex-wife) in pursuit.
The last name, `Bago', by the way, is an alias he assumed. When the old man asked him his name, he saw the letters B-A-G-O, and not being any more imaginative than that, gave that as his last name. He was looking, at the time, at a partly-covered nameplate identifying the well-known manufacturer of the motorhome -- `Winnebago'.
In subsequent episodes, Johnny meets Elvis Presley, hangs out with a group of environmentalist crackpots, spends time among a group of migrant farm workers who think they see The Virgin Mary in a pattern of mud splattered on the motorhome's windshield, and has a variety of other highly improbable adventures.
