Demon Knight (1995)

This is the big-screen version of HBO's Tales from the Crypt.  These clips and caps were culled from usenet. The quality is quite good, because they were capped from HDTV. I haven't actually seen the film. Berardinelli saw it and hated it, but critics were split as per Rotten Tomatoes. IMDB scores it a respectable 6.2.

How Smokey and the Bandit 3 might have been even worse than it was

  • It was originally shot with Gleason playing both Smokey and Bandit
  • "Gleason, with his delusional and deformed ego running wild envisioned this role as the one that would change his image into one of a sex symbol, and in his mind there was really no difference in physique between himself and the man who previously had the role. With the bottle of Wild Turkey and a chicken leg in hand, he marched over to the warehouse where Burt Reynolds’ old costumes were kept. More than an hour later, he emerged wedged and stuffed into Reynolds’s already too-tight jeans with one of his shirts covering only part of his torso. He had matted, and pushed to the back what was left of his hair. Deranged on whisky, he began to strut around the set like a rooster in heat whose ass had been set on fire."

Box Office Mojo News ... 'Mission: Impossible III' Doesn't Thrill in Debut

Weekend Box Office Results, May 5-7, 2006

  • One wants to celebrate. After all, the box office was up more than 20% over the same weekend last year, and that marked the sixth consecutive double-digit increase.
  • And yet ... it didn't really seem like a time to pop the champagne and break out the noisemakers and party hats. It just wasn't as good as everyone had hoped. MI-3 opened below $50 million, when the pundits were calling for it to top $60 million
  • Hoot opened so poorly it barely made the needle budge. It had the worst opening in history for a film in 3000 theaters or more.
  • The brightest spot was - incredibly - RV, the critically-maligned comedy which only dropped 32% of its first weekend audience!

The trailer and five clips from Keeping Up With the Steins

  • Like the young Indian braves of long ago, Benjamin Fiedler (Daryl Sabara) is about to undergo aninitiation rite that will take him from boy to man. But rather than face the perils of the hunt, he must endure something far worse--a Bar Mitzvah in Brentwood, California.

    It's not enough that Benjamin must stand in front of a Temple full of strangers chanting Hebrew, alanguage he doesn’t understand. He must also cope with the efforts of his parents, Adam (Jeremy Piven) and Joanne (Jami Gertz), to splurge on a party-to-end-all-parties, a mega bash where the Bar is more important than the Mitzvah and a Jewish Star means Neil Diamond.

    Above all, the Fiedlers must surpass the "Titanic"-themed Bar Mitzvah given by Adam's rival agent, Arnie Stein (Larry Miller). With his circus-sized celebration, Arnie has thrown down the gauntlet. For the highly competitive Adam, the war is on!

    But when Adam's father Irwin (Garry Marshall), now a gray-haired hippie, and his spacey youngergirlfriend (Daryl Hannah) arrive in their broken down camper, the Fiedler's plans are thrown into disarray.

    Every family has their own dysfunction and neuroses and the Fiedlers are certainly no exception. Despite this, they ultimately realize that family is the most precious bond that can't be broken (but it can be bent out of shape at times).

Apple Sics Lawyers on Something Awful

  • Apple is using the old argument that its critics may not show a picture of its faulty manufacturing because the picture itself is its intellectual property! I'm no lawyer, but I don't think this argument holds any water. The Supreme Court held in "Folsom V Marsh" that "reviewer may fairly cite largely from the original work, if his design be really and truly to use the passages for the purposes of fair and reasonable criticism." That was in defense of a man who had literally copied 352 full pages of another work in order to point out its flaws.
  • Yeah, God forbid that Apple should actually apologize and fix the problem instead of suing the guys who found it!
  • Here's the original article in question.

"The Heroin Busters"

The Heroin Busters (1977) or La Vva della droga is an Italian thriller about an Interpol attempt to crack down on heroin trafficking. Fabio Testi is deep under cover. The film starts with a whirlwind tour of Hong Kong, Cartagena, New York and Amsterdam, designed to show the International aspects of the heroin trade, and a little of heroin users. Then the film settles into the story of Teste infiltrating the local organization to find the head of the drug trafficking. When a drug sniffing dog and an over-zealous customs official blows it at the airport, they arrange for Teste to be in jail with a junkie who has connections. Teste gives him a fix, then helps him escape. In return, he is introduced to the lower level pushers, and maneuvers his way to the top. Then, his cover is blown, and the last 30 minutes of the film are an extended chase scene sprinkled with fights and shootouts.

The young junkie has a girlfriend, Sherry Buchanan, who wears a transparent top, and then later does in a full frontal having sex for money with Patrizia Webley. An unknown has major pokies in the opening scene in Cartagena.

IMDb readers say 6.7. Comments praise the the last half of the film, and the score by Dario Argento favorite, Goblin. I personally liked the middle third of the film better, where the story was in doubt. The dubbing is better than average, as the film was lip synched in English. The widescreen print is pristine. It has also bene known as "The Dope Way." This is a C -- a competent, watchable Italian actioner.
