Nikui Rosh (1976)
Not unlike Monty Python's Flying Circuis in structure, this show set the bar for Comedy on Israeli Television
Various skits interspersed with silly animations mark this show as setting the highest bar for comedy and satire in Israeli television history. It has yet to be surpassed. The skits were often viciously stinging of social and political norms in Israel and were criticized by people from all corners of the political arena. The show lasted two years. The closing song was a summary of the "over the line" stuff the show did. The cast included a wide range of the funniest funny people in the states history, many of whom have gone on to become great stars. The show had a plethora of surreal comedy as well - animations that were as good as some of the best ones (and clearly inspired by) from Monty Python's flying circus.
Serenity (2005)
Lame Space Opera with at best mediocre writing and awful acting..
"And the award for most gratuitous use of bass sound effects since Battlefield Earth goes to..". This movie is loud, and that is one of it's qualities! The movie is shot as if it were an episode for TV which is what it feels like - all internal shots are so close you can count the cavities in the actors mouths.. The writing and acting are just plain bad, lines being delivered with such enthusiasm as to almost cover up the fact that they are just horrible. The visuals were generally quite good. I really hate movies where the word solar system, galaxy, and universe are used interchangeably. The bad guy with is English accent, the good guy with his brawny slightly sun burnt cowboy sensibilities. The occasional "odd line" thrown in for comedy but usually missing and just distracting from the abysmal drama. Practically speaking, this is a remake of "Ice Pirates", not quite as quirky or funny, but similar is most ways.
