Is that a shark fin in the clouds? Hunting down prey? A shadowy scavenger of the skies? No... it's just a plane! An airplane!

That's how the movie starts, the 'official parody' of the Airport series, and from there on it gets crazy. Well, that's the scene it starts with. That text ^ I just made up. It starts with promise of bizarre and innovating comedy, and on that end it stays shark and delivers!

I like old comedies like this particularly in how they play with words, like on Captain's Oveur and Roger's first name. Over? Roger. And there's a Clarance in the background. The movie puts clever attention to simple puns, even if it some times goes a bit overboard with the all those drugs. And all those flashbacks! Too many flashbacks.

The parody seems loosely based mostly off of the second Airport movie, with references to the romance in the fourth, but not so much the first and third. Leslie Nielsen (the white-haired guy from the Naked Gun series) plays a doctor, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar plays himself (kinda), and I don't recognize anyone else, but they all fit their roles like Royces.

I could elaborate a lot on details regarding puns and parody specifics, but I'm thinking such aspects would be better left unrevealed if you plan on watching this. What you should know is: it's crazy, it's cheesy and traditionally excessive comedy at its best - before it really became too excessive. Difference between this and the newer variants? The jokes don't harm anyone, no matter how savage they get. And they joke about everything: religions, genders; touchy stereotypes alike. Great watch.

 rated 4/5: fo shizzle

So a mute Russian girl infiltrates Toronto's underground sex trade to avenge the death of her sister. Hmm. It's a bit like Kite, but less stylish, more emotional, with a cop popping up to save the day at the last moment rather than one first appearing as a knight in shining armor only to soon be revealed as corrupt and deceitful. It was gritty, dark, featuring visually appealing but not so livid actresses and a plot that ended up seeming borderline pointless. Not really my type of movie.

Music. Yeah!

I went bowling yesterday.
Have I got backbreak? Just a little.
Just a little sliver of pain down the left side when I bend.
We go bowling way too often in our dreams, our backs they soften it's so easy,
Then comes lifes and that guy beats me what a shame.

What's my name, where's my face,
In the mirror all is blank now, all is calm,
All is peaceful since I shut off the alarm, all is nice,
Nice and peaceful. I need to eat a plateful of musli and any fuels,
That is required that might get me through the day.

Life's a race, life's a rat race,
You run or sit and know you've sat days,
Spent your days just sitting in the shade when you could have faith,
And get up maybe get up maybe get up get up get up, maybe,
Maybe I can get up without backbreak today.
