77 Sunset Strip: Flight 307 (1963)
Flight 307? Pilot for Airport?
77 Sunset Strip is one of the most underrated TV shows ever. Flight 307 starring such superstars as Gena Rowlands and Jack Worden was clearly ripped off by the producers of the 70s blockbuster "Airport". We are so lucky to be able to view the greatness of ABC late 50s and early 60s masterpieces like 77 Sunset Strip, Surfside Six, Hawaiian Eye et al. Kookie lend me your comb! Over and out.
The House of Suh (2010)
Errol Morris should get a piece of the action!
I enjoyed "House of Suh." As a former denizen of the neighborhood where the murder took place, I was immediately attracted to the story. My prior life was as a criminal defense attorney, and the Suh case reminds of how real life is much more interesting and complex than fiction. It is too bad that the commercial movie that was made of this case did not feature Asian actors as Asians remain the invisible group in our culture. "The House of Suh" illustrates that stories involving Asian stand on their own and do not need to be Anglicized. That being said, I recommend it to documentary fans, especially those who enjoy the style of Errol Morris. I hesitate to use the term plagiarize, but. . .Ms. Shim has almost completely hijacked Morris' style. No matter, it's a good doc, so check it out.
