Pink Angels, Vixen, Salt

300px-pinkangelspost

Pink Angels is a lot like Easy Rider, if Easy Rider was about a group of gay bikers heading to a ball. I wasn't sure if it was pro-gay or anti. Sometimes it seems to show that homosexuals are people too and then it would turnaround and say gays are all that is wrong with America. Anyway, it's interesting and worth checking out. 3.25/5


Vixen_poster_1

Russ Meyers is in true form with Vixen. I've never heard so many racial epithets as spewed in this film. It's raunchy and crude but there is an awkward charm as well. If you're a fan of Meyers, then it's a must see. 3.5/5

Salt

Salt is a basic by-the-numbers thriller. It's fun to watch but very disposable.  3/5

Faster Pussycat Kill Kill, Deep Red (Profondo Rosso), Major League

Fasterpussycatkillkill
 

Not my favorite Russ Meyers film but Faster Pussycat Kill Kill is a classic film with so much style over substance. It's great fun and everything you wuld want from a cult film. 3.75/5

Deep-red-profondo-rosso

Deep Red (Profondo Rosso) is the best thing that Dario Argento will ever do. It's a masterpiece of giallo film making and keeps you guessing until the end. If you've never seen a giallo, start with this one. 4.5/5

Major_league

I enjoyed Major League much more than I thought I would. This just a great 80's film that gets overlooked. I might have to add it to my DVD collection. 3.5/5

Fritz the Cat, Howling 3, Cherry Harry and Raquel and more

Fritzthecat

Fritz the Cat does not hold up very well at all. It's more of a curiosity than anything. I would give it a pass unless you just have to see it. 2/5

 

Bunny-bull-poster

From the creator of The Mighty Boosh comes a great romantic dramedy. Bunny and the Bull is mostly a drama with some off-beat style and humor. So good. 4/5

 

Cargo_poster2

Cargo is an adequate German sci-fi thriller that gets formulaic towards the end. 2.5/5

 

Howling3

Um...the Howling III...what can you say about this? Much better than I remember it being but still not good. It's an interesting curiosity piece. 2.5/5

 

Topper

Humorous comedy that launched a franchise. Topper is better than average but falls into a lot of the conventions of 30's filmmaking. 3/5

 

Cherryharryraquel

Not my favorite Russ Meyers film. Cherry, Harry and Raquel features all the trademark Meyers touches, which mostly means it's lots of topless large breasted women. It's not a great movie but Meyers is a master of montage. 2.5/5

Secret in their eyes, mudhoney and el topo

Secretintheireyesposter

Excellent movie. I can see why it won the Oscar for Best Foreign film but I found The Prophet more compelling. 4.5/5

 

Mudhoney

Ah...Russ Meyers, you old pervert. Fun movie that has all the Meyers standards: boobs, white trash and it's going to end badly for someone. Not one of his best but still some good moments. 3/5

 

El_topo_poster

I need a cliff note's version to explain all the symbolism. Very thick film. As usual, visually stunning and just weird. 3.7/5
