Scourge

I live on another planet where the weeks are REALLYYYY long…

This week’s movie is “High Plains Drifter” staring Clint Eastwood, it’s a western… that combined with Clint Eastwood makes it awesome, that’s about all you need to know, but I’ll include more information anyway.

A mysterious gunfighter without a name rides across the desert landscape and arrives in the mining town beside the sea “Lago” to stay for the night. After gunning down three desperado’s who tried to kill him, the town hires the gunfighter to help defend the town from three murderous outlaws, Stacey Bridges, Bill Borders and Cole Carlin who have been released from jail after they brutally whipped to death the town’s local lawman Marshal Jim Duncan who is in his grave with a unmarked gravestone, the three outlaws set out to return to “Lago” to get their vengeance. Can the mysterious gunfighter without a name stop the three outlaws?

Well it’s nearing the end of the week so it’s time for me to share my movie of the week. This weeks movie is … *drum roll* Taxi (1998)! I first found out about this movie a while back (probably 2000/2001) but it’s very hard to come by where I live, so I only managed to get it in the last few days. Needless to say it was worth the wait! I think the main reason is because I’m a big fan of Peugeots so.. Fast cars + Peugeots = Scourge happy

For those who haven’t heard of it before I’m going to include some other plot information and a few of the cast members.

In Marseilles (France), skilled pizza delivery boy Daniel who drives a scooter finally has his dreams come true. He gets a taxi license. Caught by the police for a huge speed infraction, he will help Emilien, a loser inspector who can’t drive, on the track of German bank robbers, so he doesn’t lose his license and his dream job.
