Movie reviews #55

Eight movies today, can you believe it.

1 (Brewster Mcloud 1970) Very early Robert Altman film here where the amazing Margret Hamilton plays a racist jerk. Another early 70’s offering that’s quite trippy and political

2 (Three sisters 1970) A hard to watch production of an Anton Chekhov novel, I may have slept through this in high school. It is cool to me only because It stars the Grandma mechanic from (I love you to death),

3 (Legend of Boggy Creek 1972) Tagline, Rated G Hick, Bigfoot movie, barely.

4 (Man who fell to Earth 1976) Rip Torn, Buck Henry, and Candy Clark star in this sci if classic, that we should all see in the theater once. Almost forgot about the guy who wants the baby in Labyrinth, he’s here too. JK fam Bowie’s cool (rest in space).

5 (Sammy 1977) These Jesus films crack me up as a recovering Catholic it always amuses me, among other things. This one got a theatrical release. please listen to hear how much money it made opening weekend, I believe it will put a smile on yer face.

6 (Soldier of Orange 1977) Our first Paul Verhoeven film. I remember this being very good, but not much else. the guy who wants “more life, fucker.” In Blade Runner is young and joins the Dutch resistance.

7 (Yesterdays Child 1977) This made for tv movie is deliciously bizarre. Starring the mom of the Partridge family and the General from Planet of the Apes 5.

8 (Dummy 1979) Worf’s human brother, Geordie La’Forge, and the dip shit cop who goes after John Jay Rambo and doesn’t bring a bunch O body bags, star in this rad film about tryin to fight Ableism in the halls of justice. Thanks for listening.
