Traffic

4 different takes on the drug “trade”. It was a bit overly-dramatic and preachy at times, but still worth a watch. Some scenes and bits were very watchable. I especially liked the actor who played the Mexican cop. By the end of the movie, I couldn’t help but think… “so what’s the solution?” Someday, this issue will settle… it may take a hundred years or more, but someday… So, how do we get from here to there? is there any way to speed the process? or do we just have to wait for history to unfold and tell us the plan?

 

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

A couple guys go to Las Vegas, do tons of drugs, trash hotel rooms, get in and out of trouble, and leave.  If this sounds cool, then you’ll like this movie.  I can’t imagine that a movie with this plot and script could have been done any better.  It’s based on a book which I never read, so I can’t compare it to anything.  it was a nice escape for a little while… now I feel like I don’t have to ‘do way too many drugs and go to Las Vegas’, I can just watch this movie instead.
