6:00am
Movie: "The Longest Hundred Miles" (1967)
Doug McClure, Katherine Ross, and Ricardo Montalban star with a host of adorable Filipino kids in a good chase movie, set in the Philippines immediately after the ball of Bataan. Many of us will appreciate seeing a sweet young Ms Ross at about the time of The Graduate. Others will enjoy Montalban as a sympathetic priest caring for orphans, insisting on moral behavior in wartime. Other highlights are the utterly unforgettable Song of the Filipino Children, and perhaps the best untranslated but perfectly communicated dialog between two Japanese officers when they realize they've been foxed. Fine acting throughout.

Movie: "China O'Brien" (1989)
Cynthia Rothrock, Richard Norton
Action diva Cynthia Rothrock stars as a former big-city cop determined to both avenge her father's murder and succeed him as county sheriff in this entertaining action vehicle. The good-natured cross between Billy Jack and The Candidate doesn't exactly break new cinematic ground, but the martial-arts prowess of five-time world kickboxing champion Rothrock, frequent Jackie Chan collaborator Richard Norton, and hunky newcomer Keith Cooke (who would later star as the malevolent Sub-Zero in the Mortal Kombat films) more than compensates for the threadbare production values and some voluminous plot holes.
