It's important to speak up and be counter-culture without fear though, because that's how newer, better cultures form. In the current world people that don't agree with "accepted" views in a majority capacity are putting their own heads on a pike, but it's a worthy sacrifice.
Another oddity in the eclectic career of Stacy Keach. One of those cannibal exploitation films. Not as recommendable as say, The Ninth Configuration (now that is truly a one-of-a-kind film), but still it shows that while never being as big of an actor as he should have been, Keach has had a more varied career than many a-list actors.
I like Mountain Of The Cannibal God but yes, The Ninth Configuration is a special one for sure. When he goes nuts in that pub, I hold my breath.
I haven't, but with it being a horror film, and with Keach in the cast, i'll get around to that one. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any of the Children Of The Corn films.
I know, right? When they pour the beer on Kane, and then the fecal matter is the fan big time. I challenge anyone to categorize it into one box. You could call it a psychological thriller, but somehow, that just doesn't cover the whole film. A true cult classic.
The Ninth Configuration humanized Keach for me, the first film to do that since I took quite a loathing to his character in American History X.
Really enjoyed this movie. Stunning cast and amazing to think this was from a debut director. Makes a perfect double bil with The Big Short. So interesting on 2 very different ways to cover the same event.
Very good melodrama. I have liked both the Douglas Sirk films i've seen, this and All That Heaven Allows (1955). And i wouldn't call myself a fan of melodrama.
I'm baffled at how well received this was. I would have thought more of the film, if the writers had the balls to make an atypical ending, where Steven Lang's character kills off all three of his home invaders. According to the IMDB trivia page for Don't Breathe, the original ending was to have Rocky not make it outside the house. They lost their bottle at the thought of a downbeat ending.
DC is doing great in its animated department if you ask me. First, it was about Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Superman, the JLA; and by all means it still is--I'm very much looking forward to the Batman/Harley film Bruce Timm is working on (with Kevin Conroy as Batman, Loren Lester as Nightwing and Big Bang's Melissa Rauch as Harley!) Recently, however, the "DC Universe Animated Original Movies" output has expanded its scope with demons, Swamp-Things and some titanic teens.
Enter the latest addition to an already impressive list of films: TEEN TITANS: THE JUDAS CONTRACT. Directed by DC animated familiar Sam Liu and featuring the last (voice) role of Miguel Ferrer as Slade Wilson / Deathstroke, this movie skews a little younger than most other DC animated films, but is still a whole bag of fun for those who, like me, enjoy diving deep into the DC universe. With nods to the Batman vs Robin trilogy and indirectly continuing the story from JUSTICE LEAGUE VS. TEEN TITANS, this movie cements the Teen Titans' place in the broader DC animated canon. Though I haven't read the 1984 original Judas Contract comic storyline, I'm having lots of fun with the film adaptation. Exactly how faithful it is to its source material is something I fail to asses for obvious reasons, but that is irrelevant anyway. Good action, some teen soap drama--yes, you will have to deal with that in a few scenes--and an as usual very entertaining Damien Wayne (kid's got spunk!), make this film its own, highly enjoyable thing. Also, Kevin Smith is in this film as himself! 'Bout time they found something for superfanboy Kev Smith to do in a DC film.
Clearly the grittier JUSTICE LEAGUE: DARK and the tongue-in-cheek RETURN OF THE CAPED CRUSADERS will, out of the recently released DC animation films, appeal more to a grown-up audience, but there's still quite a lot of fun to be had with TEEN TITANS: THE JUDAS CONTRACT. Spoken as a DC fan, I strongly endorse this film.

Paris, Texas
Have to admit I'd never seen any of these until last week and I knew I was in for something special. Paris, Texas had the biggest impact but they're all brilliantly crafted films and it was refreshing going back to that golden era when films had so much to say and really justified their own existence (I noticed Roger Ebert mentioned in his review that Paris, Texas felt like it belonged with those other late 60s films Midnight Cowboy and Easy Rider etc.) All four still remain relevant today as they were back in the day and I think I'm going to seek out more films from this era if anyone has any suggestions. Looks like Rosemary's Baby may be next up for me...
A big load of fun. All 5 young actors had a great chemistry - my personal favorite being Zack, the Asian guy of the group. The 2 girls in the Rangers group were very much eye candy, couldn't get my eyes off these 2 whenever they were on the screen. A killer soundtrack, epic action scenes, and an adrenaline rush during the climax. And always cool to see Bryan Cranston in something like this.
Glad someone else shares my loathing for this overrated turd.
Hated it when I saw it and hate it even more now.
The title character is such a horrible little shit. I just want to punch his smug face in!
Oh, the envy is strong in me!
Director Peter Hyams (Capricorn One, Outland) debut is a particular favourite buddy cop thriller of mine! Elliot Gould and Robert Blake are the vice cops, battling the villains and corruption in their own force. Goulds character in particular gets more and more disillusioned with being thwarted not only by the bad guys but his own superiors! Its a terrific thriller, and Hyams stages a couple of neat action scenes, from a frantic foot chase through a busy market place, to a frenetic ambulance pursuit finale. It also has a surprising final scene! I was after the dvd for a long time nad only required it last year, but it still holds up well! Overlooked, but well worth checking out!

People dance, sometimes at a parade. And there's a pool. And a car.
And it goes out a window at some point. Either the car, or the kid. Or the car and the kid.
But still, I enjoy watching it whenever it's on.

I haven't seen it in at least a decade, so I'm neutral. Just having fun with the others.
