I’ve been giving a good long look at the New Thundercats series on Cartoon Network lately. I’m on the fence if I like it or not. So, I thought it best for me to try and explain the storyline here to see if it brings out any clarity on the subject. It’s tough when you want to like something because it jerks at one of your young heart notes, but this show is a clean wipe of anything from the old storylines.

There are not so many movies out there that tickle my fancy as much as Brazil has. This movie has it all for me…british humor, science fiction, great music, and the tale of man vs. the system. I had watched this movie for the first time about 10 years ago. I’d always been interested in the cover that had the dude’s head exploding like a nuke.

Sam Lowry is a harried technocrat in a futuristic society that is needlessly convoluted and inefficient. He dreams of a life where he can fly away from technology and overpowering bureaucracy, and spend eternity with the woman of his dreams. While trying to rectify the wrongful arrest of one Harry Buttle, Lowry meets the woman he is always chasing in his dreams, Jill Layton. Meanwhile, the bureaucracy has fingered him responsible for a rash of terrorist bombings, and both Sam and Jill’s lives are put in danger. – IMDB

This movie really holds up really well as far as production values. The humor and story are still relevant. I highly recommend this movie.
