Let us know below! Here are some articles from this past week that we encourage you to check out and jump in or start the conversation. Movie: Guns Akimbo Movie: Dead Heat A traffic accident damages her face.
The Soska Sisters did a decent job of making this their own while paying tribute to Cronenberg here and there. The action and gore is attention-grabbing but I would have liked more focus on the evil doctor that could have been better as well and his intentions instead of dealing with the fashion stuff.
I feel like this is just barely worth a watch for those interested. This movie about a cursed and murderous red dress had me. I mean it had me hooked with the main character played by Marianne Jean-Baptiste who does a really good job of making you care about her and this story. There is enough intrigue and mystery with what is going on with the dress and the retail shop with its weird workers that sold the dress.
I found it interesting as it teeters on the line of horror and comedy. Well, that was until it completely fell off the ledge and takes a nosedive into snooze town. He grabs it and, hurriedly tearing off the box, creates a makeshift board to glide effortlessly away from his enemies. He plays Corey, a young skater who likes to hang out and ride around Los Angeles with his gang, the Ramp Locals.
The Locals are in an ongoing competition with another group of riders, a tough skater posse known as the Daggers. The film follows these two skate-crossed lovers as Corey tries to win her affection, escape the wrath of Hook and prove himself in the park and on the streets as an accomplished skateboarder.
On discovering that his adopted brother has been murdered by a gang of arms-dealing thugs, skateboarder Brian Kelly turns teen detective to bring the culprits to justice. Gleaming the Cube also features an early role from Tony Hawk as a skateboarding Pizza Hut delivery boy, more than 10 years before his eponymous computer games made him a household name and arguably the most famous skateboarder in the world.
The protagonist, Telly Leo Fitzpatrick , is an HIV -positive skateboarder obsessed with taking the virginity of under-age girls. Clark hung out with such a gang before making the film. The script was written by Harmony Korine , a hyperactive, year-old skate-rat who would go on to gain success in his own right as the director of such controversial films as Gummo and Spring Breakers The majority of the cast were fresh-faced skaters with little or no acting experience; a year-old Rosario Dawson among them.
The documentary charts how Peralta, along with others, including Jay Adams and Tony Alva , pushed the skateboard beyond its accepted limits.
As severe droughts in the 70s saw backyard swimming pools being drained, Peralta and his friends took the opportunity to use these spaces as skate structures and pioneered transition skateboarding. Four years after this film, Peralta would go on to to fictionalise this story in the Hollywood film Lords of Dogtown , which was brought to the screen by Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke. Teen markets are the most lucrative, since you tend to get fickle in spending when you start making your own, limited income.
But on the other hand, those decades churned out a lot of nonsense intended to catch the eyes and dollars of skaters and non-skaters alike by characterizing and simplifying the scene. By the mids, the meant depicting the skater as misfits and California as their cultural Promised Land although, California was the cultural promised land to most everything young and hip in the eyes of mids Hollywood… except for those suckers in the fictional landlocked locale of Shermer, Illinois.
Suddenly, skating, which managed to survive the bust of the second generation post-Dogtown , was something worthy paying attention to again. Two more skateboard-themed adventure films emerged during the late 80s — Gleaming the Cube in see the earlier Muvika! Though Christian Slater took the helm and hammed up the screen, pro-skaters many of them Bones Brigade members at the time were allowed slightly more camera time especially Tony Hawk and his perfect McSqueeb hair.
Even actor Max Perlich as Yabbo could actually skate. Plus, the skate sequences were quite good and plentiful as they should be with Mike McGill and Rodney Mullen both pretty obviously doing those tricks as a stand in for Slater who was taught the basics by Tommy Guerro.
That it was directed by David Winters, the man responsible for the best Mystery Science Theater episode which riffed on disastrous Space Mutiny? That it had a typical 80s California title song performed by Meatloaf? Totally Insane!
