Another "bad space movie" that's not so bad, held back by a meager budget that also provides its charm: centering on an astronaut shot not from the Earth to the Moon but, in this particular future, 1980 viewed from 1961, the moon's space station into deeper space where another rocket had already vanished. When Captain Chapman lands from a magnetic pull, he finds a world hybrid of a Biblical Epic and B-Western...<br>
<br>
The inhabitants are miniaturized, which means nothing since we mostly see Dean Fredericks the same size among them: a square-jawed, high cheek-boned, dyed-blond-haired actor best known as television's really white STEVE CANYON, he also played a score of Native Americans, which, ironically, the leaders of this planet share the same cinematic wisdom of: with technology far beyond our own, they still choose to live in a primal setting, leading to a man-to-man fight between our hero and the only other virile young man around (this scene and their overall anti-chemistry's reminiscent of Sam Jones and Timothy Dalton in FLASH GORDON years later)... <br>

In the Hammer British Film Noir BAD BLONDE originally titled THE FLANAGAN BOY, a bulky and not altogether brilliant English boxer gets a shot when his 
trainer connects with a rich Italian promoter who can make it all 
happen: But there are a few catches... First, everyone has to
 live at a rural lakeside estate where the fighter, Charlie Sullivan (Tony Wright), 
will prepare for future moneymaking matches...<br>
<br>
Second and most important, Charlie needs to 
get along with the rich man’s baby-faced, perpetually pursed-lipped wife Lorna, played by  goading, manipulating, voluptuous and built-for-action with sparks-flying starlet Barbara Payton. Basically, the
 first moment Charlie sets his smitten eyes on the sullen temptress, his edge is gone… As is his sanity, to his trainer's chagrin. Liken to, years later, when Burgess Meredith barks at Sylvester Stallone's dame-distracted Rocky Balboa: "Women weaken legs!" Nothing changes in the boxing game, it seems...  <br>

With a title full of irony about a current junkie/former hairdresser doing all he can to score smack on the streets of New York City, there's far too much downtime...<br>
<br>
And it happens right when things are at a nice rudimentary pace, beginning with a groovy soundtrack during an attempted small-time heist by George Segal and his cool black sidekick...<br>
<br>
Who soon separate... and while it's clever that Segal's "J" meets his lady while attempting to steal her car, a contrived bedroom scene with Karen Black happens far too soon. Ironically, given her super-cool track record at that point, she doesn't seem like the renaissance era starlet from the likes of FIVE EASY PIECES or the gem that started it all, EASY RIDER. Her part here is a mainstream role in a would-be full-blown avant garde exploitation flick....<br>

What happened to John Carpenter's filmmaking skills in the 1990's is a mystery. Even more mysterious is why it took four years after THEY LIVE to enter that decade, and then direct an unnecessary remake,  MEMOIRS OF THE INVISIBLE MAN, which is THE THING compared to what's possibly his worst film, also a remake, titled VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED — although it's still pretty fun to watch i.e. make fun of... <br>
<br>
Starring a handful of actors and actresses who all starred in franchise films, there's main man Christopher Reeve in his last role before the tragic horse-jumping accident. But, alas, the four-time SUPERMAN is pretty wooden here as the politically-correct husband of one of several townswomen who — after the entire town of Midwich falls unconscious at the same time — wind up impregnated by what the characters later learn are alien children: Who are the best thing going, especially the leader played by an icy-cold  Lindsey Haun, with a penetrating expression of experience and cunning, and she's more worthy to fear than the one good kid is to sympathize with...<br>

Despite
 the fact it's about a Donkey kicking field goals... a literally ass kicking movie... GUS is one of the 
most entertaining Disney live action ventures made during the 1970's. 
The plot involves an underdog teen from some foreign land who is the 
younger brother of a perfect, square-jawed soccer star sibling, 
worshiped by his father. But Gary's Andy Petrovic has something that 
will make him famous without making him famous, but rather, his pet mule
 has all the talent: able to kick a football far into the surrounding 
forest. Although Gary's Andy is not altogether worthless.<br />
<br />
Gus only kicks
 after hearing the important word, spoken by Andy and, for the most 
part, Andy only: "Oyage!" Thus, mule and boy is witnessed by a football 
scout for a losing team called THE ATOMS played by Ronnie Schell, 
voice-star of the second best Disney venture, THE CAT FROM OUTER SPACE, who was sent to the Petrovic farm to witness the older
 brother for his magic foot for the team's punter. But compared to the 
ball kicking jackass, Soccer boy means nothing.<br />

The best scenes occur when Andy and Gus get slowly, 
awkwardly warmed up with the team and his fans, and like the first half 
of most Disney films, our title hero just can't loose. Eventually, Andy 
gets lost in the mix despite falling in love (and vice versa, which 
rarely occurs so quickly) with one of the cutest Disney ingenues 
ever, Louise Williams as Debbie, who, along with Don Knotts, is on the 
DVD cover (shown above) autographed by Ed Asner, as the team's grumpy 
coach who really has to put faith into this risky decision, while Tim 
Conway plays...<br />

So let's center on the bad guys who 
rule one particular scene that intentionally steals the entire movie; 
Gus causing two hired thugs, Tom Bosley as Alpha Male ex-con Spinner 
with his dopey sidekick, Tim Conway's Crankcase, to chase the 
escaped-kidnapped donkey around in a supermarket. Wide-eyed when 
experienced on the big screen as a child, this fifteen minute scene, 
occurring while Gus is trying to return to a big climactic game.<br />
<br />
And 
hell, if this store scene doesn't bring a smile to your face, something 
is wrong. But poor actor Gary Grimes despises GUS for ruining an 
already fledgling, at that time, career... And yet, GUS doesn't 
hurt <i>our </i>career one bit, but provides an eclectic two-hours of 
one of the most bizarre, wonderfully campy and genuinely creative comedy
 films ever. And you CAN'T quote the film's star on that, but Cult Film 
Freak stands behind it fully: "OYAGE, Muthas!"<br />

Both are straight men without comic relief, and there isn't a
 touch of humor to be found: Especially not in the muddled 
screenplay written by director Elaine May and centering on two awful 
lounge singers, Lyle Rogers and Chuck Clark, who don’t seem realistic 
enough to be genuine failures: Hoffman’s Clark is the 
most confident and intrepid, and gullible. Once the duo are sent to 
Ishtar for a few low-rent gigs, he quickly gets in hot water, falling

After a dry-spell with melodramas and big budget espionage films, Alfred Hitchock had an artistic comeback with FRENZY: Also serving as a grand return to England where Piccadilly Circus feels like its own busy character while the main protagonist, an antagonistic former RAF hero, gets embroiled in what Hitchcock perfected early on...<br>
<br>
The Wrong Man theme, and it's an avalanche here, bordering on satire and with some of the coldest dark-humor sprinkled in. Yet FRENZY is no laughing matter, being perhaps the darkest and definitely most <i>modern</i> Hitchcock vehicle: and not just because people use swear words, or the nudity in one of the rape sequences: The most shocking and in-your-face involves Barbara Leigh-Hunt followed by Anna Massey's off-screen demise, in which one of Hitchcock's greatest shots makes for that <i>key signature moment</i> (the shower in PSYCHO; the umbrellas in FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, etc.) that all his films rely on and/or are best remembered for. <br>

In this classy, turn of the Century-set British heist film, Aldo Ray plays an American joining with would-be Irish Revolutionaries to knock off the titular 
location, and the best moments occur in the planning stages as the giant Yank learns the innards of the immense, seemingly impenetrable bank-fortress from a personal tour by Peter O'Toole, playing an extremely nice lieutenant of the bank's troop of marching guards...<br>

O'Toole's not the main star but has a genuine arc: his affable persona, giving away any 
and all secrets to an all-ears thief feigning style and class, sharpens as he begins to catch on during the crest of the second act, intensifying into a 
more familiar, edgy and intense character for O'Toole to embrace (and that he'd play later on).<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

Meanwhile, the
 pace slows during a filler romance between Ray and the only female plotter, and the 
most time's spent during the usual digging of the tunnel — the kind you 
mostly see in prison films breaking out while here they're attempting 
to break in...<br>
<br>
The cast also includes veteran actor Albert Sharpe as a sewer dwelling bum that unknowingly provided the groundwork; Kieron Moore as the mouthiest and youngest Irishman, a thankless role and the only antagonist of sorts; and Elizabeth Sellers as the pouty (and much too old) ingenue in this semi-obscure gem directed by John Guillermin, and that famously laid the 
groundwork for O'Toole's career: After viewing one scene, David Lean knew he had his LAWRENCE OF ARABIA despite the dark features and a
 straight, hawkish nose that would soon be altered.<br>

After John Carpenter hit big with the horror film HALLOWEEN, a made-for-TV movie as the next step is a big strange, but it's not
 bad: Plot centers on a director played by Lauren Hutton who is, as the title implies, being watched 
by someone in the building across from her own... <br>
<br>
Some of the dialogue is 
silly and the characters aren't fleshed out, but the pace keeps flowing,
 the tension mounts well, and there's that neat Carpenter steady-cam 
throughout despite the lack of spooky-synth Carpenter score. At 
times this feels like a theatrical thriller edited-for-television; other
 times it's like watching a TV movie that, with more work, could have 
made it to the big screen. All in all it's a Hitchcock homage, but looks
 more like a Brian DePalma-doing-Hitchock. Either way it's not too shabby for a small screen effort. Carpenter fans shouldn't be disappointed; just don't grade on a curve.<br>

Feel good movie about teens from the poor side of the tracks but with a cool rock-diving water hole to hang at, BREAKING AWAY is
 distinguished by a confidently upbeat, quirky protagonist who, while obsessed with Italy, longs to race bicycles with Italy's visiting 
team: But when not peddling around town, Dennis Christopher's Dave hangs with local buddies Dennis Quaid, a former football hero; Jackie Earle Haley, the token mascot; and Daniel Stern, the comic relief who's the most soulful and in-tune with our cycling hero...<br>

To the rich college kids, led by preppie jerk Hart Bochner, the young locals are Townies or Cutters while the University remains an albatross that otherwise humble and poor Bloomington, Indiana can't shake. Our boy Dave's the only one with an angle: Finding the prettiest girl in Robyn Douglass, and faking an Italian accent for a filler romance.<br>

Through the much too-written script, where the late-teens talk like they're suffering a mid-life crisis, the bicycling scenes are nicely shot by action director Peter Yates; and though the class envy gets tiresome, and Dave's jovial dialogue with his parents is a tad silly, as the big race 
between the locals and jocks approaches, each and every character contributes 
equally to a spirited finale. Before that, when used car salesman dad Paul Dooley walks through the ruin of a town, sharing about his own faded dreams, it seems like another movie altogether: More edgy and realistic, which BREAKING AWAY could have used a few more scenes of. But it's an affable sport film meant to celebrate the energy and momentum of youth, and it does that well.<br>
