A Whale of a Tale (1976)
Watch for the Marineland footage rather than the plot!
A very, very, VERY tame movie. This was clearly created around 1972, although credits list the film as coming out in 1976 and to VHS in 1980. (Note that the star actor was born in '62 and looks around ten...definitely not 14!)
This movie is definitely of interest to those who enjoyed Marineland so much, the defunct forerunner to SeaWorld. Footage includes a nice shot from the ocean to the park, plus aerial footage. You can also see a *very* young Orky and Corky, the old entrance near the killer whale arena, the Catalina Room restaurant, and pier near Sea Lion Point. Based on the development of the park in the movie, all indications also point to a circa 1972 filming--cars are parked right next to the killer whale complex, there's no sea lion arena (they're in the dolphin arena), the potato sack slide looks brand new, and obviously, there's no Baja Reef.
Forget about the story (although one does wonder how in the world Shatner got into this film!), but enjoy it for the local scenery of Palos Verdes.

The 6th Day (2000)
Believe it or not, this is a movie to think about!
Surprisingly, this was an excellent movie and certainly one that extends beyond simply being in the action genre. The 6th Day grapples with the ethics behind cloning and the broad spectrum of implications cloning could have on our everyday lives. While yes, the movie near the end becomes pretty action-oriented, it is a very smart movie overall, and it certainly merits one's attention.
Don't let the concept of Schwarzenegger with guns make you think that this movie is brainless...you'll be grossly underestimating it.
Six Degrees of Separation (1993)
What was that all about?
I kept watching the movie, waiting for a point or purpose. I ended up with an empty bag.
The movie drags you along the entire time, alluding to some greater twist or message or meaning, but there's nothing! There's no other word for this movie but stupid...'pointless' doesn't describe the gravity of how dumb it is.
I supposed you'll like this movie if you're highly artistic and found "The Muse" funny and view New York to be a cozy nook of our universe. For the rest of us, save your time and skip it.
