Movie Review # 51 - Airport 1970 - Scarecrow - Earthquake - The Little Prince - Grilfriends - Sergeant Matlovich vs. the U.S. AirForce - …And your name is Jonah
Movie reviews #51 seven today so let’s go 1. Airport 1970. This one started them all. To me it’s just a less funny movie than airplane movie, but still funny. You don’t get the icky pedophile jokes, but you do get asshat men who live to cheat and cheat to live, this had a nice rad woman surprise that I am quite grateful for. Airport stars Helen Hayes!!!! 2. Scarecrow 1972. Many many 70’s films are based on plays, this one basically just filmed a play. Great Black Metal premise here with a story by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet letter guy. Blythe Danner, and Gene Wilder are here, and there’s a witch too. 3. Earthquake 1974. Heston is here, this movie was not great. I had fun with friends, a lot actually. Heston is a shit but the Star Crash guy takes on bullies, and flippin Shaft is a rad stunt cyclist. 4. The Little prince 1974. This one’s trippy and fun, and we get our 2nd Gene Wilder appearance in this batch. You also get jazz hands Bob Fosse himself here as the snake. I always get this movie confused with the Gumby episode The Small Planets, and wonder where the screaming clay piano boy is. 5. Girlfriends 1978. Claudia Weill is our director here, in a coming of age film that should be more popular than it is, shrug emoji. We get the sole survivor woman from that trippy movie I love called Sole Survivor. Lots of great actors here including the guy who wrote Stonehenge. 6. Sergeant Matlovich vs. the U.S. AirForce. This gets added to our list of super amazing made for TV movies of the 70’s, also Matlovich was real and fierce AF. Brad Dourif plays Leonard Mattlovich, and you can watch him and his mustache in this gem on you tube. A must see for those interested in Queer history. 7. …And your name is Jonah 1979.
Intense TV Movie about a
misdiagnosed Jonah, he is deaf and the shitty times and an even shittier Teacher and Dad make it flippin hell for this poor kiddo. Important to show where we were and where we should be with this country’s Ableism. Sally Struthers is here along with the asshat Dad played by asshat James Woods.
Thanks fer listening friends. Please oh please give us stars and a review, thank you.
