Eating Raoul (1982) --> A cult favourite from the 80s, Eating Raoul was the brainchild of writer/director/actor Paul Bartel. It tells the story of the Blands, a family who wish to open a restaurant but do not have the money. To finance the enterprise they become S&M merchants of death. Putting an ad in the local tabloid they attract clients who are into bondage. While the wife plays dominatrix, the husband dispatches the distracted sexual pervert. When Raoul (played by Robert Beltran), a petty thief, breaks into the Blands apartment, the family eventually have him for dinner.

Borat (2006) --> A mocumentary about a Kazakh reporter who takes his camera crew to the U.S. to report on the country and its people, Borat is a comedy worth watching if you like toilet humour. The reporter (named Borat) wrestles naked with his producer, French kisses his prostitute sister and tries to beat up Pamela Anderson while proposing marriage. The antics are juvenile but it seems that what is popular in comedy the last while.

If you knew what you were getting into when paying your money to see this film then you won't be disappointed, but if you were looking for the second coming of a great Mexican western, the you will be sorely disappointed.
