"Detroit 9000" (1973)

Two Motown cops - one white, one black - are assigned to solve a theft from a political candidate's campaign fund, mixing it up with pimps, hookers and smugglers along the way, in this ultra-violent blaxploitation action flick. Silly but entertaining.

"Lightning Bolt" (aka "Operation Goldman," 1966)

A secret agent is assigned to investigate rocket sabotage on Cape Kennedy, and discovers a plot to dominate Earth by a beer-baron super villain with his own secret headquarters at the bottom of the ocean. Yikes!
This campy, cheesy-but-fun Italian spy flick is one of the better James Bond knock offs of the mid '60s, with cheap but effective sets and effects and lots of pretty girls.

"Who The F**k Is That Guy?" (2017)
A documentary profile of Michael Alago, an '80s NYC club kid and music geek who went on to become a powerhouse A&R executive. This is the guy who was barely old enough to drink when he signed Metallica to Elektra Records, then went on to work with a host of other artists/bands across the genre spectrum. Various members of Metallica, White Zombie, Metal Church, the Misfits, the Cro-Mags and many more provide commentary on an interesting guy who's definitely led an interesting life.

Been travelling so caught a few movies during flights

Black Panther - didn't live up to the hype for me, but still a good movie

Red Sparrow - had to download at my hotel to catch all the nudie bits that were edited out for the plane version. Not a bad movie.

Death Wish - a very different movie to the Charles Bronson movie. Great movie though.

Stepford Wives - was on in my hotel. Average

Before I Fall - was enjoyable until the end. A bit Groundhog Dayish

Frantz - drama about effects of war, very good movie if you're like sentimental movies...

Jeune & Jolie (Young & Beautiful) - sexy drama about teenage prostitute, an ok movie...

The New Girlfriend (Une Nouvelle amie) -  drama about gender identity

"Last Action Hero" (1993)
Thanks to a "magic ticket," a young film buff suddenly finds himself transported into his favorite shoot-em-up film franchise, where he fights bad guys alongside his hero "Jack Slater" (Arnold Schwarzenegger). This flick wants to parody the cliches' of action movies and while it isn't always successful, it's got enough in-jokes amidst the butt kicking and stuff blowing up to keep viewers entertained. 

The behind-the-scenes drama of making "Last Action Hero" has become a legendary Hollywood cautionary tale, involving major budget overruns, frequent rewrites, disastrous test screenings, and last minute editing.  To add insult to injury, it opened a week after "Jurassic Park" in the summer of 1993, which totally crushed it at the box office. Ahh-nuld's film career never completely recovered.

Game Over, Man - I haven't had much luck with Netflix-produced stuff, particularly movies, in the past, but this one broke the mold for me.  I never got in to Workaholics, but the Workaholics dudes pulled this one off.  Ridiculously hilarious movie.  Had me in stitches (and the folks with whom I watched it; my brother watched a few minutes and said it didn't do it for him, but I think he just didn't give it a chance-he LOVES immature and stupid stuff!)  3 buds who work together and chill get involved in a situation at work where they can't be chill anymore.

Game Night - Watched it on a recommendation, but I wasn't expecting much.  I was very pleasantly surprised.  Good cast, really good story, and very funny.  Glad I followed through on that recommendation.  A group of friends (couples) who get together regularly for game night have a wrinkle or two thrown in to game night (and other life plans) when a sibling shows up and wants to join in.

"Dr. Butcher, M.D." (1981)
The Americanized cut of 1980's Italian splatter-fest "Zombi Holocaust," in which an investigative team from New York travels to a South Seas island that's home to flesh-eating natives and a crazed doctor whose experiments on the locals have created a race of zombies. Whatever name this movie goes by, it's the same ridiculously gory nonsense. Fun to watch in a WTF sort of way but not a must-see by any means.

Don't forget the soundtrack that featured Def Leppard, Aerosmith and new songs by Tesla and AC/DC

"Amityville 3-D" (1983)
A journalist who specializes in debunking supernatural phenomena moves into the famed house at 112 Ocean Avenue, planning to write an article on his experience. Naturally, this turns out to be a spectacularly bad decision for him and his family. 

The third "Amityville" installment was released a year after Spielberg & Hooper's "Poltergeist" and borrows heavily from its plot, but it isn't nearly as much fun. The 3-D gimmick adds nothing to this slow moving flick full of cheap scares and even cheaper special effects. Useless trivia, "Amityville 3-D" features early-career performances by the then-unknown Meg Ryan and Lori ("Full House") Laughlin as a pair of teenyboppers!

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" (2017)

In the latest "Star Wars" epic, Rey tracks down Luke Skywalker for help discovering her Jedi destiny, then battles the evil Kylo Ren. Meanwhile Finn and Poe fight to save the remnants of the Rebellion from a final all-out assault. 
"Last Jedi" got tons of hate from fanboys who were apparently pissed that the film didn't live up to the personal fan fictions they were carrying around in their heads... but I thought it was great fun and it still made about a bazillion dollars at the box office. So either I'm easy to please, or the haters simply need to get off of Twitter and YouTube and get out of the house more often. 
Bring on Episode IX!

"Violent Cops" (aka "Crimebusters," 1976)
A soldier (Henry Silva) and a detective (Antonio Sabato) team up to investigate how common Italian street thugs are getting their hands on military-grade machine guns. Naturally, this leads to lots of shoot-outs, vehicle chases, and fist fights.  In other words, this is a pretty typical '70s "poliziotteschi" flick, i.e. short on plot but loaded with cartoonish ultra-violence. Entertaining junk.

interesting, now I kind of want to check out some Italian crime movies. I googled that topic and there are as many of those as there are spaghetti westerns and horror :)

    • 'Ride On' out June 28th From Lions Pride Music: Heavy Star: Unveiling the Timeless Sound of Rock Established in 2014, Heavy Star roared onto the rock scene in 2016 with the release of "Electric Overdrive," a testament to founder Marco Kace's enduring love for heavier rock. Influenced by KISS and the rebellious Ramones, Marco shaped Heavy Star's sound as a homage to the mid-'80s rock royalty, blending NWOBHM vibes with the energy of Hair Metal and Glam. The band weathered lineup changes, welcoming drummer Adriano Jukka Merico in 2017 and bassist Daniele Papale in 2019. The pandemic-induced challenges in 2020 led to vocalist Albert's move to London and the departure of guitarist Danny Slade, prompting a reflective pause. In 2022, the arrival of lead vocalist Corrado Quoiani revitalized the band, setting the stage for their signing with Lions Pride Music in May 2023. Despite global upheavals, Heavy Star's perseverance bore fruit with the completion of their album, "Ride On," in December 2023. The mix and mastering, guided by Luca Pazienza and Marco "Kace" Capasso, added a contemporary touch, creating a unique sonic experience. "Ride On" encapsulates Heavy Star's timeless commitment to rock 'n roll, blending nostalgia with a modern edge. Their story is one of evolution, resilience, and an unwavering passion for the music that transcends eras. Get ready to ride the waves of Heavy Star's sonic journey! Heavy Star is: Corrado Quoiani: Vocals Marco Kace: Guitars Daniele "Vinz" Papale: Bass Adriano "Jukka" Merico: Drums   Tracklist: 01) My Lady Firefly 02) Razor Blade 03) Lexi Love 04) Rock 'N' Roll Again 05) Horizon High 06) Ride On 07) Blame It On Love 08) Round And Round 09) Just Like Madness 10) Lifeline 11) Invisible Enemy 12) As The Wind Blows 13) Walk On Out (Bonus Track)
