Wo lai ye (2001)
Worth watching with subtitles
There are many ingredients to an excellent show, good writing, actors with talent who go all out, smooth transitions in action, plot, and character relationships. This show has all of this done with in an authentic scenery backdrop for the time period. This is a comedy. It is based on the problems/awkwardness of love while hiding your secret identity. There are some leaps needed to fully enjoy this show: Magic type flying, running over tall buildings and in trees, crazy fight scenes, and tongue in cheek often sarcastic humor. There is lots going on and that is where my wife and I got great pleasure in watching it whenever it was on. 10 STARS!
A Smile as Big as the Moon (2012)
Space Camp doesn't allow special needs children until now. This group overcomes negative attitudes to make it happen.
When a special needs high school class goes on a rare field trip there is disaster. The following may be considered a spoiler. The principal says the class will no longer be allowed to go on field trips. But at the failed field trip a brochure for Space Camp had already captured the imagination of a student and one of their teachers. Not only will the trip cost $50,000.00 but the principal, Space Camp, and other students don't think they can handle it. The next 10 months the class prepares for the trip of a life time. Filled with the daily bullying faced by children with special needs the students over come low expectations to surprise, delight, and change attitudes. While some of the dialogue from the adults seems stilted but real the students are totally real and deliver great performances. Limited by TV time the actions still flows well and keeps the story alive until a triumphant finish.
