He restored neglected cult films and thankfully left us with a movie of his own... A short film starring Clu Galager as Vic Reeves, an out of work, out of luck veteran actor living in Los Angeles.<br /> <br /> His dreary routine changes with a late night call from an up-in-coming director Tony, who has a perfect part for his favorite nostalgic actor. The only catch: Vic has to read for the role – not something he’s used to.<br /> <br /> In his hey-day, Vic called the shots. We catch glimpses of the younger handsome Reeves (real images of Clu) in creative fade-ins, and eventually a photograph he carries around for the impending audition.<br /> <br /> Dying his shocking white hair black to regain his youth, the last half is Vic’s desperate attempt to land the role... leading to an emotional finale providing Clu Gulager, one of our most dependable character-actors with an eclectic career spanning decades, a remarkable performance.<br /> <br /> Sage Stallone’s direction flows with an intense, jarring rhythm while the cinematography by Clu’s real life son John (director of the FEAST films and PIRANHA 3DD) provides an edgy, first-person vibe of a character whose not only hit rock bottom, but exists there.<br /> <br /> So is this film a little too dark and dreary (and heavy) for its own sake? At times, sure. But the palpable energy between a young director and a veteran actor shines during even the darkest moments.<i> </i><br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAE3i-1A1UmfB4nqVT-_r19wJRDiaQsEjW-rKZYuWUync7FSH4gYtnUvte9FHbRu0NnkrCnLChos2EhSV5ZErH1O-ujw6xtAsARJEToZ1ievf7bL7j15p-t8Lw4FF-fm0LNe0aTTsQCjnZ/s1600/Picture+5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAE3i-1A1UmfB4nqVT-_r19wJRDiaQsEjW-rKZYuWUync7FSH4gYtnUvte9FHbRu0NnkrCnLChos2EhSV5ZErH1O-ujw6xtAsARJEToZ1ievf7bL7j15p-t8Lw4FF-fm0LNe0aTTsQCjnZ/s640/Picture+5.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>TRIVIA FOR THE SHORT FILM <u>VIC</u> BY SAGE STALLONE</i></td></tr> </tbody></table> <i>Clu's son Tom plays the director Tony LaSalle.

But it’s still a pretty decent and involving movie about a small town four-dude Neighborhood Watch headed by Ben Stiller, who manages the local Costco where the night security guard was killed mysteriously. Stiller’s uptight Evan puts out fliers with only three responses: Vince Vaughn’s partying single dad Bob; Jonah Hill’s edgy wannabe cop Franklin; and Jamarcus, the token oddball played with charming finesse by Richard Ayoade.<br /> <br /> Ben takes the straight man mantle to the limit (what Jason Bateman does all the time nowadays) – he hardly smiles or thinks anything is amusing, especially Bob’s constant attempt to win over the crowd (Vaughn sustaining his SWINGERS and OLD SCHOOL persona once again). Meanwhile, the group has little to do but wait for something to happen until their car crashes into a scary looking beast – and they soon realize that monsters abound...<br /> <br /> A subtle satire on the alien paranoia theme and a buddy flick (Vaughn and Stiller have the best anti-chemistry here), THE WATCH works despite the forced crude humor. Enough happens… including subplots about Evan’s marriage and Bob’s promiscuous teenage daughter… to keep the viewer entertained, as the direction works for suspenseful scenes involving aliens lurking in the night and, although the initial Alien discovery sequence, 11th hour group conversations and the climactic CGI standoff becomes somewhat draining, this is a worthwhile time-waster with more to offer than punchlines.

Sexy and persuasive, she hangs around with teenager Jay North, who played Dennis the Menace on the iconic sitcom.<br /> <br /> The main problem is the relationship isn't very taboo since North, with a receding hairline and ultra casual manner, seems about twenty-seven. But the plot has little to do with the teacher/student tryst, which in itself isn’t very entertaining – other than the fact Tompkins is extremely gorgeous and sexy (reminiscent of future starlet Cindy Morgan of TRON fame).<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzY_L17kbu1p-maUDIFLJu6TQEWe8u_dhZTJvtY94u96gqJYfjZZz8_GYD4mHj70Woer_OdxWAdDq9cMVPPvm4biu0Ni4_ImEb9q7zvsntr3gRjeKDIHlf3qaMMhe0zsSEbjW82kvRSTI/s1600/3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzY_L17kbu1p-maUDIFLJu6TQEWe8u_dhZTJvtY94u96gqJYfjZZz8_GYD4mHj70Woer_OdxWAdDq9cMVPPvm4biu0Ni4_ImEb9q7zvsntr3gRjeKDIHlf3qaMMhe0zsSEbjW82kvRSTI/s1600/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The awesomely villainous Anthony James as Ralph Gordon</td></tr> </tbody></table> It’s the lanky freak Anthony James, known for playing antagonist roles, that keeps the story going.

At first they seem like the usual rowdy ruffians until slowly, surely, the truth comes out: whether by the usual clichéd slurred speech or ultra prissy mannerisms, or both.<br /> <br /> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpu67RWgmY-zj0wDTwFIu_7O4vtHNxq9rBIACntoMOcX37H_y0iznQUQ8ke_aUhv1yhCVh0Di7MCjDiWC0gW_rss2uMxmElCTU2gW636-AtFPj1svvAFH5qAasldhrsep0bx377mYKpiI/s1600/the-pink-angels-movie-poster-1971-1020255505.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpu67RWgmY-zj0wDTwFIu_7O4vtHNxq9rBIACntoMOcX37H_y0iznQUQ8ke_aUhv1yhCVh0Di7MCjDiWC0gW_rss2uMxmElCTU2gW636-AtFPj1svvAFH5qAasldhrsep0bx377mYKpiI/s1600/the-pink-angels-movie-poster-1971-1020255505.jpg" width="151" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><u>Movie Poster</u></td></tr> </tbody></table> Overlong scenes of the Angels cruising the American highway are laidback and pleasurable viewing. But unlike EASY RIDER’s supercool soundtrack that cost money, we have what sounds like a poor man's Stephen Stills crooning songs that don't fit the scenes. The gang itself are on that long road headed for a convention in Los Angeles for cross dressers.<br /> <br /> Along the way, stopping at hot dog stands or hidden mountainside hangouts, they meet a rival biker gang that bullies them into ravaging girls...<br /> <br /> Then, upon reaching their destination, the Angels cross over into Drag Queens and even the straightest men, including a villainous General bent on ridding the Earth of homosexuality, are turned on. And the acting isn’t bad for this kind of grindhouse fare. There’s a burly bearded biker, a short fat prissy whiner, a guy with a really bad Liverpool accent, a gallant mustached man, and a token black with excessive mood swings. But it’s the swarthy gang’s leader Michael, played by John Alderman, that makes even the silliest stuff seem legit.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div>

The real story centers almost entirely on chaste, naïve teenager Cindy, played with vulnerable meloncholy by cult starlet Debbie Osborne, and her curious peaks into the big bad fun world outside.<br /> <br /> Her older half sister Donna couldn’t be more different. Whether getting loaded or laid in her boyfriend’s car, taking nude pictures or even sleeping with her drunken step-dad, the term “free spirit” fits her like a glove.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXB-5KZJ9kzZ9Y5m8RYLngymSsWszbxVZciLtN5WRkN4D_wGQM6Aj3r47BcfSxu-eNXa5Aku5-ZZQLK6HiR-tGCu8PE84wesCdWDvLucnT0hrbvMyocrN2UzOnv-OKZwEOG5u3Dag7059T/s1600/e.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="498" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXB-5KZJ9kzZ9Y5m8RYLngymSsWszbxVZciLtN5WRkN4D_wGQM6Aj3r47BcfSxu-eNXa5Aku5-ZZQLK6HiR-tGCu8PE84wesCdWDvLucnT0hrbvMyocrN2UzOnv-OKZwEOG5u3Dag7059T/s640/e.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Debbie Osborne shows Cheryl Powell a dirty magazine</td></tr> </tbody></table> But Cindy’s anything but free, holed up in her bedroom, keeping her naked body to herself, and only sneaking out whenever Donna’s up to her promiscuous shenanigans.<br /> <br /> Cindy’s parents are another story altogether: mother’s a bitter lush and dad’s love with a call girl named Alice (played by KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE dancer Alice Friedland). The parent’s booze-laded existence counterbalances the teenager’s hazy opulence in an effective, and never forced, manner – a juxtaposition that works.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwbM-l8DEw5u_VSgd-DcmFSkRWCofbGxN4Dtcx6i8dYxnPuVjyjkMYRvcTKLFuF-701qQVcxyU4RE86-ULQJ3n5fTS9dOKHT1AVhaBmRNGOeNh5G18Alh48yhCViQbj3HjGpJGr4oaaZzw/s1600/h.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwbM-l8DEw5u_VSgd-DcmFSkRWCofbGxN4Dtcx6i8dYxnPuVjyjkMYRvcTKLFuF-701qQVcxyU4RE86-ULQJ3n5fTS9dOKHT1AVhaBmRNGOeNh5G18Alh48yhCViQbj3HjGpJGr4oaaZzw/s640/h.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sharon Osborne as Cindy in CINDY AND DONNA</td></tr> </tbody></table> For low budget exploitation this is an involving and entertaining piece of grindhouse where the faults, like a constantly jarring soundtrack ranging from psychedelic rock to harmonica folk to game show jazz, or the acting that, at times, feels like gateways to porno scenes… but the performances can also be surprisingly decent...<br /> <br /> Especially Osborne – her cherubic face and wistfully downcast expressions, mixed with a lithe gentle beauty you won’t find in many exploitation movies, not only fits the part but makes the story work.<br /> <br /> This is Cindy's world even though, as she's writing forlorn letters to a long lost beau or hanging out with her best friend, she’s got little to do with the darker realm. Yet the intriguing aspects are how far she ventures outside her boundaries, providing a Pandora’s box with something valid (and perhaps even dangerous) within. <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Or two people pass each other with wheeled suitcases being pulled on leashes. The two suitcases then start growling like dogs and roll around fighting each other. This is funny until we get a close-up of one of the people pulling off their suitcase; then another close-up on the other person; then a final wide shot as the two people, with their suitcases, walk off.<br /> <br /> This scene is a microcosm of how many gags fail, each going a step too far by humanizing the punchlines. In the original, we're involved in Robert Hays romance with Julie Hagerty while attempting to land the airplane suffering war flashbacks, but these are mere subplots to the constant hilarious jokes. The opposite occurs here.<br /> <br /> The plot, rehashed from the original but set in the future with a space shuttle trip to the moon, is too familiar and the jokes are hit and miss. William Shatner, replacing Robert Stack as the uptight chief talking the shuttle to a safe landing, in doing an imitation of himself and going overboard in every line, is more annoying than humorous.<br /> <br /> And random courtroom scenes, giving us footage of the first film as Hayes defends his sanity, are downright horrendous and for fanatics of the original, blasphemous as well. But despite the flaws, there are enough witty moments for a breezy flight.<br /> <br /> And REST IN PEACE Chad Everett, who played Hagerty's too perfect boyfriend.<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Airplane-II-Sequel-Robert-Hays/dp/B00004Y62X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1343395955&sr=8-1&keywords=AIRPLANE+2"><br /></a><br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

The premise has the black next-door neighbors of white working-class Queens residents Archie and Edith Bunker moving on up to the East Side, New York, thanks to George Jefferson’s successful cleaning business.<br /> <br /> Now let’s center on one particular episode – where George, played by the late Sherman Hemsley, gets the “disco bug” after wife Louise suggests they go out for the evening. Always the stubborn mule, George wants nothing to do with frolicking on the dance floor. But the tables turn and he becomes known as “motor hips” at the discothèque.<br /> <br /> Louise broods at home, playing scrabble and then auditioning for a “Help Center” play with a snooty director. Here’s where the tables turn back as George gets jealous and quits the nightlife…<br /> <br /> And you may be asking: Why memorialize the death of the pint-sized sitcom giant Sherman Hemsley (who continued on five seasons of AMEN) with this particular episode from THE JEFFERSONS season five? No other reason than at 4:00 am, it’s the most entertaining and energetic to watch and it's a pop culture fact that George Jefferson had moves, style, class, brass, and will live on forever… long past disco.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEiLbchBZYdogIbAFgSHsLyJFU4N_5pNjIM2r78l9zQ0uv4zs1jHk0CvL0ZfwXpHPx9QNc33KoAXg98gkjSPOyohilb1XF8cEjbj-pbet5n9muZ334UHoFFP-c3FeL5namb_LOzFtyYZ5O/s1600/title03_0411535.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="468" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEiLbchBZYdogIbAFgSHsLyJFU4N_5pNjIM2r78l9zQ0uv4zs1jHk0CvL0ZfwXpHPx9QNc33KoAXg98gkjSPOyohilb1XF8cEjbj-pbet5n9muZ334UHoFFP-c3FeL5namb_LOzFtyYZ5O/s640/title03_0411535.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">REST IN PEACE SHERMAN HEMSLEY</td></tr> </tbody></table>

This sequel does the same thing but in a much more entertaining story with better characters, including wily geek Charles Martin-Smith and his buddy Stephen W. Burns as heirs to the love bug, picking Herbie up in South America and then being chased around by mobsters.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFx9_rnya9Cih73T02p_94KLqN1RUn21LxEmL7mD5r5O6LXl15076wWGKd2NjJxsmXaX_vF_hR2hF3iibytP9QSivhEMTtBWDzw321ErCr1kvCWh4eM8rZBNAfHSLlcBnC7cGf3AhTpl8o/s1600/title00_103733757.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="275" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFx9_rnya9Cih73T02p_94KLqN1RUn21LxEmL7mD5r5O6LXl15076wWGKd2NjJxsmXaX_vF_hR2hF3iibytP9QSivhEMTtBWDzw321ErCr1kvCWh4eM8rZBNAfHSLlcBnC7cGf3AhTpl8o/s400/title00_103733757.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Elyssa Davalos, Stephan Burns and Charles Martin Smith</td></tr> </tbody></table> The good guys meet a pickpocket orphan who becomes Herbie's best pal, and along the way journey on a cruise ship and even take part in a bullfight. Burns falls in love with freespirited socialite Cloris Leachman's daughter, the beautiful Elyssa Davalos, while Martin insists they run a con job, giving a little edge to the romance.<br /> <br /> HERBIE GOES BANANAS is an enjoyable romp from beginning to end, with many different locations and sticky situations for the characters (including Harvey Korman's cranky ship captain joining Leachman) and our titular bug to sneak out of. Villains John Vernon, Alex Rocco and Richard Jaeckel are both seedy and spooky for a Disney film, but they're no match for Herbie, who, though taking back seat a lot of the time, winds up stealing the show.<br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
