Professing Our Love for Clue: T ...

"Who knew that the 1985 board game adaptation Clue had so many fans? These people certainly weren’t around 24 years ago when the movie opened 6th at the box office, behind even the terrible Santa Claus: The Movie in its third week (I’ll admit, though, Santa Claus is one of my dear guilty pleasures). But suddenly, via the internet, loyalists are everywhere, up in arms over news that a new Clue adaptation is moving forward as if the original were as popular a film as the 1985 box office champ Back to the Future (which grossed as much as 14 times more than Clue). Well, I am with the devoted to an extent. I have loved Clue since seeing it in the theater, and am embarrassed to admit it was probably the film that introduced me to the comic talents of Tim Curry, Madeline Kahn and Michael McKean (what can I say except that I was 8 and hadn’t yet seen Ro " [More]

Repo! The Genetic Opera Review, ...

"There’s no denying that Repo! The Genetic Opera has plenty of imagination, but right now it’s still spinning around in my brain and I’m trying to decide if I like it or not. The first time I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I thought it was one of the worst movies I’d ever seen, despite Tim Curry’s stellar performance. Is Repo! destined for the same cult status? The only answer I can come up with is… maybe. Based on a 10 minute opera called “The Necro-Merchant’s Debt” by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich (who plays the Graverobber in the movie), Repo! later become a stageplay, and then they brought Saw sequel director Darren Lynn Bousman on board, and now a movie. It’s an epic opera set in the future, where a corporation called GeneCo has mastered the art of creating synthetic body organs. However, they come at a steep price, and if you don’t pay up, the company will send Repo Men after you to reclaim their property. Which of course usually results in the death of the implantee. ...

I liked it, is that a 'Shock'?

"I am not a child of the 70s. I say this because it seems to be one of the main reasons I do not share the same reverence for the odd spectacle productions of that decade like 'Tommy' or 'The Man Who Fell to Earth.' I was going to throw 'Heavy Metal' in there, which is certainly a product of the 70s, even though it came out in 1981. Which is also the year that this sort-of sequel to 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' came out. Now, as much as I thoroughly enjoy 'Rocky Horrror' (with and without the crowd participation), I can buy into many of the criticisms of that film. They pitched the tone a bit too seriously, the pacing is erratic, and the movie never really communicates the same idea that the stage show originally did. But 'Shock Treatment' is something completely different, and it struggles to be taken on its own terms. The All Movie guide says it is "hesitantly embraced" by 'Rocky Horror' fans, but that rings as a prespective of someone on the outside observing the freaks. There ... " [More]

10 Underrated Songs by Fictiona ...

"This week, thanks to The Rocker, we can add another fictional band to the long list of music groups created solely for the movies. They’re called Vesuvius, and they’re an ‘80s hair band with a hit song titled “Promised Land.” As part of the film’s marketing, the track was offered as a free download for play on Rock Band (see the clip above). But if you ask me, the wrong tune was used in the promotion. Another song from the soundtrack, also credited to Vesuvius, is called “Pompeii Nights,” and it’s definitely the better of the two. I’m not surprised, though. While most people favor the songs of Spinal Tap, a once-fictional band that has become popular enough to evolve into a “semi-fictional” performing act, I’ve preferred such gems as “The Whites of Their Eyes” by PEZ® People, from The Big Picture.

"It’s always hard to hold back the expletives when reading Cindy Adams, but this time, I just can’t hold back anymore: what the fuck is she talking about? An excerpt from today’s offending column: You’ve maybe heard about W., Oliver Stone’s tough feature film about Bush…First-ever movie about a sitting president, shooting in Shreveport, La., is so hush-hush secret that all scripts are embargoed… So do not ask - do not - how one is now in my own sticky fingers. She acknowledges that we’ve “maybe heard” about this movie, but neglects to mention that the reason why we’ve heard about it is because she’s like the tenth person to get her “sticky fingers” on some version of the script. That “hush-hush” line is completely laughable. Is there *any* film in recent memory that has been reported on so extensively by the mainstream news, [More]

"I loved this movie. Tim Curry is amazing in this. The cast is exceptionally good. I know some that did not like this movies but I do. It is on the side of weird/creepy/strange. But Tim Curry makes up for it with his great acting. " [More]

"Creepy? Why would anyone think that? I think that Tim Curry in fish-nets is pretty damn... I dunno what I think it is... BUT Dammit Janet, it's a good flick. I'm not one of those people that get all dolled up for the Halloween showing, but I'm also not saying that I never would. I love how it just dazzles you with sequence and dancing. Songs that you can jive too, but when you really listen to the words, your head cocks to the side with that, "WTF did they just say?" It's dark, twisted... but lets your mind wander to that unknown location. Leaves you with a little bit of devious bliss. " [More]
