I like this topic; I'm getting upvotes here :D
I watched the trashy and hilarious "Machete." Rodriguez went all out. It's one of those movies where you can just ignore the inconsistencies and enjoy it. The fights and shootouts are quite bloody, but they have their own unique appeal and even humor. The harsh satire is great: it mocks everyone from politicians to that actress of yours, Lindsay Lohan, and her outrageous behavior. Overall, after watching it once, there's no negative feeling, and I don't regret the time spent.
I also noticed a series on TV called "Mental." It's about treating various mental illnesses. There's only one season with 12 episodes. I watched 4 and was very pleased. Maybe the series doesn't have the same level of hype as HOUSE, but it's much better in itself:
1. The main character is the complete opposite of House. He enjoys life, he's friendly, he's kind to patients, and he doesn't show off in the end;
2. The diagnosis is made professionally and immediately, not 10 minutes before the end of the film, when House is EATING A SANDWICH/STARING AT PANTIES/ENGAGING IN OTHER SODOMY.
3. The entire episode shows the specific treatment of patients, each of whom requires a different approach.
4. The series doesn't devolve into a cheesy discussion about "Did he sleep with her, or didn't he, or didn't he sleep with him either...", but instead focuses specifically on health problems.
It's a good series, all in all.
