Body Slam is a comedy starring Dirk Benedict, Tanya Roberts, Roddy Piper, Captain Lou Albano and Barry Gordon. This oddball film from 1986 is being released on Blu-ray by Kino Lorber on June 15th.
The Allnighter isn’t exactly a quintessential movie from the 1980s, probably not even second tier either, and while it’s pretty safe but it’s light-hearted entertainment.
Cartouche is a fun French swashbuckling action adventure with the only fault being a frustrating main character who was difficult to really root for.
The Last Married Couple in America is a drama-comedy starring George Segal and Natalie Wood (in her final completed performance) and the Kino Lorber Blu-ray includes a commentary track and theatrical trailer.
The Night of the Following Day might have an intrigueing title, the movie itself doesn’t exactly live up to it. Marlon Brando gives a fine performance, though his behind-the-scenes antics probably were more interesting.
Tank is a suspense-drama starring James Garder, Shirley Jones, C. Thomas Howell and G.D. Spradlin. The Blu-ray arrives on May 11 from Kino Lorber and includes an audio commentary and promotional material.
Cool as Ice rightfully flopped at the box office and is a terrible vanity project for Vanilla Ice but there are some fun good-bad moments that really would make for a good time to watch amongst friends, particularly those who grew up during that time.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a great western-thriller thanks to a wonderful core cast with Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach and even for those not inclined to enjoy westerns, like myself.
A Lovely Way to Die seemed like a movie right up my alley, however I found it to be pretty darn dull not to mention characters I couldn’t care less about, though I will say Eli Wallach had a few fun scenes at least.
Heartworn Highways is a music-documentary on what is called “outlaw country” and features interviews with the stars of the era including Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark and Steve Earle. Available on Blu-ray and DVD April 27th.
Test Pattern is a drama-thriller from filmmaker Shatara Michelle Ford and starring Brittany S. Hall and Will Brill, arriving on Blu-ray and DVD on April 20th from Kino Lorber.
Spaceballs is a classic comedy from Mel Brooks, one that I’ve seen a few times over the years and while it’s not a favorite of mine, still makes for and fun and enjoyable 96-minute watch.
Stiletto is a slow burn thriller and while I don’t mind these sorts of movies, there’s little suspense or thrills and sorely underwritten characters, particularly the main as portrayed with little charisma by Alex Cord.
Taffin had some potential to be a pretty cool crime-drama with a beautiful Irish locale, instead the plot is half-baked, acting so-so at best and not even the charismatic Pierce Brosnan couldn’t make it all that interesting.
