Star Trek (1979)
En el corazón de la nave, V’Ger revela ser la sonda no tripulada Voyager 6, una sonda espacial lanzada en el siglo XX desde la Tierra. La dañada sonda fue encontrada por una raza alien de máquinas vivientes, quienes interpretaron su programación como instrucciones para aprender todo lo que sea posible conocer, para luego regresar a su creador. En su viaje de regreso, la sonda obtuvo tanto conocimiento que logro formar una conciencia, la cual se siente vacía y sin propósito. Solo a través de su creador V’Ger podrá explorar las cosas ilógicas, como otras dimensiones. Ofreciéndose a la máquina como su creador, Decker se fusiona con V’Ger originando una nueva forma de vida.

I have a dream..
Tiger on the Beat (Lo Foo Chut Gang) dir. Chia-Liang Liu, 1988
Synopsis: A seasoned cop and his rookie partner are a pair of mismatched partners in this Hong Kong action-comedy in the style of ‘Lethal Weapon’. The wacky twosome are up in arms as they try to solve the murder of a heroin trafficker.
Thoughts: This was an interesting one since I’ve only ever seen Chow Yun Fat in fairly serious roles, I actually did even realize this was a comedy until I started watching it. To be fair it was rented purely on the promise of there being a chainsaw fight (which there is, a 10 minute one, wrap your head ‘round that). It’s a pretty standard buddy cop movie with the seasoned but irresponsible goof off, plated by Chow Yun, and an up and coming by the book rookie trying to prove his salt. Nothing special but a fun watch and so so worth it for the ending.
