This is the village of Bakhtia in Siberia

Lady Luck decides to drop some knowledge on Zac and Biggs.  We review Happy People:  A Year in the Taiga.  This Werner Herzog documentary accounts for a year in the life of a trapper in Siberia.  We see him set traps, catch fish with a shotgun, abuse his dogs, and unwind with a spot of tea.  And all of this is under the shadow of bears--big...scary...evil...devious bears.  What else would you expect from the director of Grizzly Man?

...and that completes my final report until we reach touchdown

Lady Luck smiles upon Zac and Biggs as they draw the 1968 classic science-fiction flick:  The Planet of the Apes.  Charlton Heston plays an astronaut who travels forward in time to see what becomes of the human race.  To his shock the spaceship crash lands on a planet where apes have supplanted humans at the top of the evolutionary ladder.  The film explores issues of race, religion, and the human condition in addition to having apes riding horses while netting people or stabbing them with tridents.  The film ends in an iconic spine-tingling scene that won't be forgotten in cinematic history.  Zac and Biggs also spend a few minutes discussing all the sequels and reboots to this amazing movie.

So that's Eddie's wife.

Pam Grier and Sid Haig star in the grindhouse film about women so hot they melt the chains that enslave them...but not really...The Big Bird Cage.  This movie from 1972 was produced by Roger Corman and marks the second of his Women in Penitentiaries Trilogy.  Django and Blossom go from robbing night clubs to starting a revolution in...Hanoi?  They sweep up an actress having an affair with the prime minister into their madness.  She gets locked away in a prison camp run by guards where conjugal visits are never allowed...except when they are.  Django and Blossom wind up infiltrating the camp in an attempt to free all the women for their revolution.  Lots of skin, offensive stereotypes, and hilarity ensues.

As long as humanity has existed, there have been Others among us.

This week Lady Luck has lead us to the highest grossing movie in Russian history:  Night Watch.  The director of Wanted, Nine, and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter put together a big budget looking Hollywood style movie for 1.5 million dollars.  It's the tale of light vs. dark.  Good vs. evil.  Psychics vs. vampires.  This is a foreign film that you won't want to miss.
