Painful movie to rewatch but worth it for the incredible performances of Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk - Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence

Weird Science from 1985 was a decent teen flick, especially with Kelly LeBrock. It kick-started Bill Paxton's career and the soundtrack was by Oingo Boingo, fronted by Danny Elfman, which lead to a big career in soundtracks for him. He has been married to Bridget Fonda for many years, which is a nice benny.
Kelly LeBrock now, I think she had one too many cosmetic surgeries. |

Weird Science is a classic, one of my childhood favs. She was also in "Woman in Red" with Gene Wilder which was pretty damn funny.

I saw Willy Wonka the other day for the first time in a long time. The original not the awful Depp Wonka. It holds up so well. I cannot stand musicals but even I like the musical sections of it.

A movie that came out in 1999 called Bowfinger is funny as hell. I saw it last night on one of the premium channels. I was never a big Eddie Murphy fan, didn't watch SNL in the early 80's, but he is so funny. It's actually a Steve Martin film, but it's not his usual type and Eddie also plays his own brother but has braces and talks like a white guy.
Steve plays a shady director trying to make a film in Hollywood with no budget. He selected Eddie Murphy as the star of his film, but Eddie doesn't know it, so everytime he's in public Steve's film crew tries to film Eddie and the other actors just think that Eddie doesn't like to work when he sees the camera. There's a great supporting cast in the film, along with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy there is Heather Graham who is hot as usual along with Jamie Kennedy, Christine Baranski and small parts by Terrence Stamp and Robert Downey Jr. |

Bowfinger is a classic. Not really much to recommend against it. Just about everyone would end up enjoying themselves.

I was stationed at Stanton Army Airfield in the DMZ of South Korea from 1970 to '71. I just looked it up and MASH was released March 1970 but it played at Camp Howze in January 1971, that's where I saw the film. It was very easy to relate to the story because our situation wasn't a whole lot different. We weren't at war, the real war was going on a 1000 miles south in Vietnam, so we were the sort of forgotten country and pot was just beginning to make the rounds throughout the camp. My unit was mostly helicopter pilots, mechanics, weather men and controllers like myself. The Koreans did all the real soldering, such as gate guard, perimeter guards, the mess hall, orderly room, anything was didn't involve aviation the KATUSA's perfomed (Koreans Assigned to The US Army).
It was cold as hell, I remember snow was on the ground when I saw the film and when I came out of the theater there were about 3 or 4 cabs waiting and a couple of the drivers started fighting over who would get the ride. All the locals either worked in support of the base, whether houseboys, cab drivers, prostitutes, etc, we were the economy. I loved that film, have seen it again and again so many times. I couldn't stand watching the TV show, Alan Alda as Hawkeye was a horrible choice, the original colonel, the dentist, everybody was so much better in the film, I never could understand the popularity of the TV show. Anyway, I loved the film and the director Robert Altman who is dead now, made another excellent film about the backstabbing of Hollywood, it was called The Player and came out about 1990, it's really worth seeing.

Was listening to some podcasts the other day and I guess a few classic 80s comedies are now considered “problematic”
Revenge of the Nerds (date rape. Gay stereotypes) Sixteen Candles (date rape and offensive stereotypes)
