A decade under the influence

Today we tackle all that is The Boys from Brazil 1978. This one seems to ride a wave from heavy drama to midnight movie. It actually required that we get some help. Comedian, musician and former video store employee with me Eddie Wretch is here to help us navigate this Steve Guttenberg classic. Actually his choice to underestimate the dangers of nazi hunting see to it that he’s barely in this, lea...

I love Michael Ritchie’s Smile (1975) This decade under the influence crew person is smiling about our watch and review of this movie Smile.  We are Bruce Dern enthusiasts and he is adorable to me in this one. Also this is one the first movies that drew me into the madness that is 70’s  cinema. The film takes on the American beauty pageant. Warts and all. Maybe all warts.  Barbara F...

Going in style 1979 Ug, the remake is streaming, makes no sense why they would remake this, it’s pretty perfect as it is. It doesn’t need any CGI spaceships, seems such a waste of resources to re-make. Maybe they gutted all the political undertones like in Rollerball. I don’t like re-makes in general, but I’ll watch it and report back. Now that that’s out of the way, today your decade under the in...

This ones a bit of a giant, but your decade under the influence crew is up to the challenge.  Monty Python’s 1979 masterpiece (The life of Brian) has been fairly well forked, still, let us take a crack at it, we’ve still got a few crosses left.  Oh yeah I remembered late last night that we forgot to mention in our list of issues with the dang Bible and the Catholic Church.  It has p...

Today your decade under the influence crew watch and quickly review 1978’s cosmic sci classic, and cheap Star Wars cash grab, Star Crash.  Sometimes films in general and this film in particular are great, even though many of the elements involved in the films production are......not so great.  This film is a hot sci fi mess and we love it.

Now we watched the dvd, but please watch the pretty blu ray with the Kansas song put back in.  Sally Field and Henry Winkler Star in this early if not first film to deal with PTSD, before they even gave it that name. Also a good road movie with a slightly more than cameo by the guy who did the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs, Harrison Ford. Join us won’t...
