Ancient Aliens Debunked (2012)
For the most part, a proper debunking.
Ancient Aliens Debunked is for the most part a proper step-by-step debunking. The 'Ancient Aliens' History Channel show makes many ridiculous claims which are carefully taken apart and refuted.
Although the film is rather long, at 3 hours, this is understandable as there is a lot of material to cover. It's clearly structured making it easy to watch the subject you're interested in.
Be warned though. The director, Chris White, is a fundamentalist Christian and this unfortunately colors his perception on subjects related to biblical events. I was quite surprised to hear him suddenly make leaps of logic that would not have looked out of place on the 'Ancient Aliens' show. It boggles my mind how someone can analyze and debunk that show so logically and lucidly, while apparently being unable to apply that skill to his own beliefs.
Still, I would say 90% of the material presented is worthwhile and interesting. Just don't take White too seriously when he deals with claims involving biblical events.
Beverly Hills Ninja (1997)
a funny movie deserves a better rating...
When I read the comments that have gone before me, it seems that hardly anybody likes this movie. Why?! Some people complain about holes in the plot or too much drama towards the end, but I frankly don't care about a perfect plot in a slapstick like this movie is. I must admit there's less laughter towards the end, but even then the funny situations are numerous.
Of course, you can't argue about taste. In my personal opinion therefore, some scenes (like the 'trashing the dojo' scene) make this a classic that I'll certainly watch again.
