Pot, Pimp, Passing on


Square Grouper is a movie about the South Florida pot trade, focusing on three stories of groups of people that were caught smuggling.  It gets to the point where you have seen one of these drug smuggling movies, you have seen them all! Not really all that interesting, but filled some time.

Katt Williams: Nine Lives is a back stage look at Katt Williams, that he didn’t seem to be involved in the making of.  It ha some good interviews with people, but it seems to be light on facts, it’s kinda like a behind the music without the musicians. J  I think Katt Williams is one of the best comedians to come out of the US in the past 20 years, and this movie really didn’t give me any more information than I had before I watched it.  It did make me laugh though.

Frontline: Facing Death is a very well done look at people facing end of life decisions, and the difficulty that surrounds making those choices.  Frontline always does a good job of presenting an even story on hard issues.  This is a well done film, and the families that they profiled were very strong when facing hard choices.  I know that it would be difficult for people to say yes, it’s time to take them off the machine, but people should really think about that more.  When your mother is old, has Alzheimer’s and is on a ventilator, she doesn’t want you to give her a tracheotomy.  Trust me.
