Review
by Mr. Paws😽
This
was the first foreign language film I ever saw. Not on purpose, mind
you. No 13-year-old would ever consciously go to a
movie that required them to read.
My
parents needed to do some kid-free errands downtown (it was Christmas
season) and offered to drop me off at the movies while they shopped.
Mom checked the newspaper and found something called Peppermint Soda, which was
rated PG with an ad featuring two kids roughly my
age. I guess she assumed it was a family comedy or period piece like
American Graffiti. Since the theater showing it (the now
defunct 5th Avenue Cinema) was only a block from where they'd be shopping, she thought it'd fit the bill. I was cool with being dropped
off, since spending afternoons alone at the movies was my favorite
thing in the world (still is, though I mostly do it at home these
days).
What
none of us realized was the 5th Avenue Cinema was essentially an
art-house that specialized in foreign and independent films. I was aghast to discover
Peppermint Soda was a French film with subtitles. But it was
too late to run screaming to the box office for my money back. Mom and Dad had already taken off. So I reluctantly sank into my seat and prepared for two hours of sheer boredom, a feeling initially
exacerbated when the film was shaping up to be about two sisters from
a broken home who attend an all-girls' school.
Village of the Damned II: The Puberty Years. |
But
as I learned that afternoon, you kinda forget you're reading
subtitles if a movie's any good. Peppermint Soda didn't
exactly rock my world - nor does it 40 years later - but I found it
surprisingly engaging, particularly when it focused on Anne (Eleonore
Klarwein), the younger of the two Weber sisters. Maybe because she
was my age with a similar penchant for getting into trouble. And
like a lot of us in adolescence, she's unable to explain what compels some
of her questionable actions...they just seem like a good idea at the
time. The film was also my first eye-opening introduction to certain
"female" issues that just weren't discussed in the company
I kept. Less interesting was Frederique, Anne's older sister and
occasional mentor (though she isn't always an exemplary role model).
Her increasing activism wasn't anything I could relate to, and even
today, the character simply doesn't feel quite as authentic as Anne.
The
film's episodic structure works in fits and starts, a series of
vignettes that make up the girls' tumultuous school year, both in and out
of the classroom. Sometimes it's funny, revealing and
thought-provoking. But just as often, the narrative is
dramatically-slight and meandering, occasionally dedicating too much
screen time to subplots that aren't so interesting. Still, for a
low-key, subtitled film with no car chases, spaceships
or fart jokes, I found it an agreeable way to spend a Saturday
afternoon.
Revisiting
Peppermint Soda four decades later, I was able to appreciate
the more bittersweet, autobiographical aspects of the film, courtesy
of writer-director Diane Kurys. And as a middle school teacher in the
real world, I may not relate to Anne like I once did, though I do
interact with kids exactly like her on a daily basis. My issues with
the pacing and some of its superfluous story elements haven't
changed, but as a coming-of-age story, the film remains quietly
charming.

Review
by Josey, the Sudden Cat🙀
Whether
Eli Roth likes it or not, he'll probably always be considered the
godfather of the subgenre cheekily known as torture porn. He didn't
invent it, of course, but his gleefully-nasty Hostel films
arguably dragged it kicking and screaming from the basement. Roth
has since moved on and branched out (sort of), while mainstream horror retreated back
to the safety of reboots and franchises for thrill-seeking mallrats.
During
the subgenre's brief moment in the sun, Hostel was the most
influential, the sick standard by which all others were compared. It also remains the most notorious, due to being regularly exemplified
by detractors as representing everything ugly about modern horror.
Such is its legacy, dubious as it may be.
Still,
both of Roth's films (forget Hostel Part III) have an
undeniable visceral power that remains potently punishing today. Part
of that is due to the wickedly audacious premise - a secret club in
which wealthy patrons pay to torture tourists to death - but
also because - love them or hate them - they are very well
constructed. Both films follow a distinct narrative pattern: a
deceptively-mundane first act, lulling the audience into a false sense of security,
so when the blood spills and body parts fly, the sudden shift in tone
is jarring.
"Take him." |
Roth
would rely on that pattern for several other films, including The
Green Inferno and Aftershock (the latter of which he wrote
but didn't direct), but it was most effective in Hostel.
The opening 30 minutes of the first film are almost embarrassingly
juvenile, a non-stop parade of gratuitous nudity, sex and partying in
the company of three obnoxious douchebags. Then just when you think
Porky's Goes to Amsterdam would've
been a more accurate title, the sudden about-face into brutal,
uninhibited sadism hits like a ton of bricks. What's more, that level
of violent intensity is maintained throughout the rest of the film.
We still don't like any of the main characters, but damn, nobody
deserves that kind of torment.
Maybe
because such a premise is most effective the first time, Roth was
forced pour more creative effort into his characters for Hostel Part II.
The young protagonists are women this time, who are far more fleshed
out and likable (and as it turns out, not completely helpless).
Screen time is shared by two American clients looking to assert their
male dominance by killing hapless women. One of them (Richard Burgi,
in a scenery-chewing performance) is such an arrogant, apathetic and
hateful bastard that we're cheering against him from the get-go.
While just as violent and gory as the original, the most disturbing -
and intriguing - scenes are those which show how the Elite Hunting
Club actually works. It's ultimately these elements that not only
justify Hostel Part II's existence, they render it a more
well-rounded film.
These
films have been released on Blu-ray
before, separately and packaged together. In fact, this is the
second time Mill Creek Entertainment has released the unrated director's cuts as a
single-disc double feature. The only difference this time is the
cover art and an additional DVD copy. Unlike more comprehensive
individual releases, no supplemental features are included, so there's no need for collectors to double-dip here. For others, like curious newcomers, it's a cheap way to grab two highly-influential horror films at once.

I'll
bet most of you reading this know who Iron Maiden is. Many of you may
also be familiar with the band's emblematic logo and iconic mascot,
Eddie, both of which have graced every single album cover since 1980,
not to mention hundred-of-thousands of black t-shirts. But I'll bet
almost none of you can name a single band member.
Such
is the power of a brand name.
Band
vs. Brand is an interesting new documentary about the importance
- and profitability - of establishing music artists as a brand name,
especially in this era when most can't make a living through
music sales alone. Which is why aging bands with only one - or zero -
original members can still pack concert venues with casual fans who
don't know any better (and just want to hear the songs). Or in the
case of the late Ronnie James Dio, former bandmates can tour behind a
holographic image of their former employer (which is creepy as hell, if you ask me). Or how tribute bands can
make a healthy living doing spot-on impressions of classic line-ups.
There's no such thing as too many records. |
Based
on those interviewed, the increased emphasis on brand names over the individuals involved appears
especially prevalent in hard rock & heavy metal. Is this practice
a cash grab? Perhaps, as a few industry figures suggest. Others -
mostly artists whose glory days are behind them - defend their
decisions to keep plugging away with a variety of hired guns. The
film itself doesn't condemn or condone any of its subjects, wisely
letting them state their case and letting the viewer judge for
themselves.
Fittingly,
there isn't a hell of a lot of actual music, though there are a few
brief concert clips of some legendary artists. Ultimately, Band
vs. Brand isn't about music, anyway. It's about how some have
learned to adapt to the current state of the business
with little more than a few old hits and a brand name behind them. In most cases, their story is more interesting than their music ever was.

Review
by Stinky the Destroyer😼
Somewhat
famously, Paramount sold The Cloverfield Paradox to Netflix
rather than release it theatrically. Netflix paid more for the film
than it actually cost to produce, meaning it turned a profit before
anyone saw a single frame. Smart move.
Even
more famously, Netflix aired a trailer during the Super Bowl,
surprising the world by announcing the film would be available
immediately after the game. Another smart move, since over three
million viewers tuned-in during its first three days of streaming.
As
it turns out, Paramount and Netflix did all of us a solid. When I saw
the Super Bowl commercial, I was pleasantly surprised (and even
more-so after the Eagles ended up winning the game). Having
thoroughly enjoyed both Cloverfield and 10 Cloverfield
Lane, I watched it right away. Since I wasn't required to get
dressed and leave the house, I enjoyed The Cloverfield Paradox
for what it was: a decent enough time killer, but easily the weakest film in
this tenuously-linked franchise. Had the movie cost me 12 bucks in a
theater, I'd have driven home feeling short-changed.
"You know...if there were two doctors on this ship, we'd have a pair o' docs." |
In
this one, there is a worldwide energy shortage. Onboard the
Cloverfield, a massive orbiting space station, a small group of
scientists attempt to fire-up the Shepard, a particle accelerator
that, if successful, can provide unlimited energy for the entire
planet. Instead, it causes a collision with an alternate universe,
sending the laws of physics into chaos. Earth as they know it
disappears, replaced by one on the verge of war. A mysterious new
crew member suddenly appears, who claims to know them, while others
fall victim to a variety of strange, deadly - and sometimes icky -
events. Meanwhile, the world is suddenly under attack by giant
monsters (presumably like the one that destroyed New York in the
first film).
This space station is heavily armed. |
Like
10 Cloverfield Lane, this one was originally conceived as a
stand-alone film before being retooled as a Cloverfield movie, but
connections to that so-called universe are ambiguous at-best. Anyone
looking for answers to questions raised by 10 Cloverfield Lane's
perplexing climax will be disappointed. To really get anything out of
this, the viewer is better off ignoring the intrusive Earthbound
segments and simply enjoy the basic story for what it is: an
occasionally intriguing piece of sci-fi/horror not unlike Event
Horizon or an
extended Star Trek
episode. And even though the plot doesn't bare a hell of a lot of
scrutiny, there are enough creatively unnerving set-pieces to make it
worth checking out.
The
Cloverfield Paradox is now on
Blu-ray, another smart move since not everyone has Netflix and some
of us still prefer physical media (the film looks a hell of a lot better on disc than it ever did streaming). If you already have Netflix and felt the film was
a post-game letdown, why are you still reading this?

Review
by Josey, the Sudden Cat🙀
Long,
arty, gruesome and maybe a little grandiose, Suspiria is
certainly bold, to say nothing of polarizing. Aside from the
basic plot, it has little in common with Dario Argento's 1977
classic, with a completely different aesthetic and tone. Whether or
not one approves of what director Luca Guadagnino has done with the
material, simply rehashing the original would have been pointless.
Comparing
the two is equally pointless. Where Argento's film is scary, loud and visually
flamboyant, the new one, while never truly terrifying, is unnerving
nonetheless. Presented in six acts (along with an epilogue), it
initially seems as though Guadagnino and screenwriter David Kajganich are attempting
to appeal more to the arthouse crowd than thrill-seekers. But looks
are deceiving. True, Suspiria is very deliberately-paced, somewhat pretentious and
arguably too long. However, the film is ultimately more
haunting than anything Argento has ever conjured up.
Two ladies who could use a breath mint. |
Part
of the reason is the very atmosphere and pace some viewers will
find so off-putting. Suspiria is unremittingly bleak, both
visually and narratively. Deliberately devoid of the original's
garish color contrasts and pulsing score, the music,
production design and cinematography are reflective of the overall
tone. Those elements help to instill slow-building dread, punctuated by well-timed
scenes of nightmarish imagery and jarring violence. I can think of
one death scene in particular that might repulse even the most jaded
viewer...while comparatively bloodless, damn-near every other bodily
fluid is spilled. Everything culminates in an over-the-top climax
that - depending on the viewer's mood by this point - is either gloriously
bonkers or ridiculously overblown. Or maybe both. Whatever the
case, it's certainly memorable.
When Twister turns deadly. |
Suspiria
isn't without its issues, especially the epic length. Overlong by half-an-hour, the subplot involving Germany's political
turmoil at the time - including an ongoing hostage situation
perpetrated by Palestines - isn't really necessary. The film
could have done-away with these scenes without significantly
impacting the overall narrative. And while the performances
are generally decent, Dakota Fanning isn't all that compelling in the lead role,
American dancer Susie Bannon (though in her defense, the character wasn't very
interesting in the original, either).
However,
Tilda Swinton - in three distinctly different roles - is nothing less
than extraordinary. If the Academy didn't have an inherent aversion
to recognizing horror, she'd have an Oscar
nomination. While simultaneously sympathetic and menacing as dance
academy matriarch Madame Blanc, she shines as Dr. Klemperer, the
widowed psychiatrist who begins to suspect nefarious doings behind a
dancer's disappearance. This isn't mere stunt casting, though. Swinton is
completely convincing as an aging male doctor (aided in no small part
by impressive make-up and prosthetics).
Dario
Argento himself didn't care for the film, saying it "betrayed the
spirit of the original." Maybe that's true. I can easily see many horror fans - especially those who hold Argento dear to their hearts - absolutely hating it. Personally, I
appreciated Guadagnino's ambitious - and audacious - approach to the
material. It isn't better or worse. In another case of apples & oranges, it's a completely different animal that doesn't warrant
comparisons. Besides, the last thing anyone needs is another remake that
simply pumps up the volume on same old story. This version of Suspiria is a disturbing,
one-of-a-kind experience in it's own right and highly recommended to adventurous
viewers (with strong stomachs).

Review
by Tiger the Terrible😸
1994's
Double Dragon is tacky, cheesy, badly acted and a strong
contender for the most "80s" movie that never came out in that decade. From the cast of B-list actors to the prerequisite
synthesizer soundtrack, it is, of course, a perfect film for MVD's ongoing Rewind
Collection.
This
Blu-ray release is also another instance where the bonus features are far more
entertaining than the movie itself. MVD has really outdone themselves
on this one. The vintage material is like stepping back in
time, but the real jewel is a brand new, feature-length retrospective
documentary. Revealing, comprehensive and sometimes very
funny, it tells a compelling story in its own right, especially since
the finished product wasn't quite what anyone had in-mind.
As
for that finished product, Double Dragon was of the first
films ever based on a video game, and if you think video game
adaptations are bad now, this one might redefine the word for you.
But
is it fun? Even at its own expense? Yeah, kind-of. If your childhood
weekends were spent stalking the aisles of Blockbuster, you might
have plucked this from the shelf on your way to the rental
counter. As such, there's some nostalgic value here. It's always
enjoyable to have a good chuckle at what used to pass for
awesome when you were little.
"Scream 'Allez Cuisine' one more time and I'll snap your neck." |
For
everyone else, the fun will probably begin to wear off after about 30
minutes. One would think an unholy mash-up of martial arts movies,
Escape from New York, The Karate Kid and Willy Wonka's
chocolate factory couldn't miss. But while Double Dragon is
certainly bad, it's not so ineptly made that it descends into
so-bad-it's-good territory. Considering the budget, the movie is
technically pretty competent. In a way, that ultimately makes it more
of a chore to endure.
Furthermore,
something kept gnawing at me while watching. One of the fighting Lee
brothers, Mark Dacascos, looked really familiar, but I couldn't place
where I'd seen him before. It wasn't until I checked iMDB that I
discovered he went on to become "The Chairman" on Iron Chef
(my favorite part of the show).
I wonder how Mark would have reacted back then if he were told his
greatest claim to fame would be screaming "Allez Cuisine!"
at the beginning of every episode.
As
for the rest of the cast, Robert Patrick and his hair come-off best,
while Alyssa Milano demonstrates why Commando was the
high-point of her movie career.
Whether
or not one shares my assessment of the movie itself, I think anybody
with an interest in the filmmaking process (including the business
side) still might want to pick this one up. Double Dragon is
an archaic and asinine product of its time, but the story behind it -
told by those who lived it - is fascinating.

sustained with his platoon while in combat. His injuries make it
difficult for him to reintegrate into society. After a series of
setbacks, he embarks on a spirited motorcycle journey across America
with the goal of reuniting with his son. Along his journey, he tries
to pick up the pieces of the life he's lost since returning from

survives by having frequent conversations with Sam (Omari Hardwick),
his best friend and war buddy.
