Movies: Pusher 3 and El Camino (TODS-only)

Pusher 3: an unsatisfying departure from the previous two (in which horrible things happened, quite deservedly, to horrible people); in this one, the horrible person is saved from experiencing horrible things by undeserved competent assistance from an old friend. Note: extremely graphic scenes near the end to the point of delving into cheap horror-film cliches.

El Camino: three friends on a road trip to Mexico to scatter the ashes of a mutual friend. Contained interesting perspectives on three young lives, but ultimately was a bit heavy on the symbolism.
