Terminator-1984

The Terminator stars Arnold Schwarzenegger (Pumping Iron, Conan franchise) as... The Terminator. The Terminator is a cyborg of totally futuristic technology that nobody can possibly understand since it's from 40 years out in like the 2020's. His mission; to kill Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton, Hill Street Blues, Children of the Corn), the mother of the   revolutionary leader, John Conner (not born yet).

Michael Biehn (Lords of Discipline) is Kyle Reese, a revolutionary fighter sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor and her unborn baby. 

The Terminator is a totally awesome plethora of action, bullets, blood, plasma weapons, and heroics. Reese and Sarah are on the run, being pursued by the relentless cyborg. This game of cat and mouse continues throughout Los Angeles with plenty of chase scenes and a high body count.

Keen technology takes on base humanity; But who will win? 

The Terminator is rated R for nude Schwarzenegger, Biehn, and Hamilton scenes and lots of swearing.

Platoon Leader-1988

Platoon Leader stars Michael Dudikoff (Tron, American Ninja, American Ninja 2) as LT Jeff Knight fresh out of West Point into the fray of the Vietnam War war. He finds himself joining a platoon of experienced war weary men who don't seem to be impressed by his freshly minted second lieutenant bars.

Who can blame them. They've had enough of fresh face officers hiding out inside the bunker until their tours were over. From their point of view LT was just another person there to get them killed. As the movie poster says, "War is hell, this is worse".

However, they'll soon discover that Knight is different. He not only increases patrols, but he joins them, leading the men by example. Even so, he's quick to take charge, but he's also respectful of his men's experience and listens to them. It's not easy, but little by little he begins to earn their respect.

I watched this movie when it first came out as a young soldier and recently as a retired veteran. Though the uniforms have changed significantly, the soldier experience has not. 

Platoon Leader also features a great caste consisting of Robert F. Lyons, Michael DeLorenzo, Rick Fitts, Jesse Dabson, Brian Libby and many more. 

                                                     


Speaking of the Vietnam War, check out my novel...

Weekend At Bernie's-1989

Weekend at Bernie's is super gnarly, snarky, caper that should be watched every Saturday to wash away the strains of the working week. Andrew McCarthy (Mannequin, St. Elmo's Fire, Less than Zero, Pretty in Pink) and  Jonathan Silverman (Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Give Me a Break) star as underachieving yuppies Larry Wilson and Richard Parker. That is until one fateful Sunday they discover a 2 million dollar mistake and they see their potential meteoric ride to the top. They can't wait until Monday to tell their boss, Bernie Lomax (Terry Kiser).

Bernie seems happy with the revelation and vows to reward the boys with a vacation at his place in New York/Jersey beaches. Well, Bernie has more dastardly plans. Apparently they have discovered some Bernie fraud. Not to be discovered and done in, Bernie reports to his mob cohorts and plans to have the boys killed. Of course some great 80's twists transpire and Bernie ends up on the chopping block for some acts of indiscretion against his mob boss' girl.

The witty wise cracking Wilson and straight laced Parker give this movie some well-deserved depth. The boys think Bernie died of natural causes, the mob think their hit on Bernie went bad, party goers thinks Bernie is just wasted and just plain chilling out. Parker’s love interest Gwen Saunders (Catherine Mary Stewart, Night of the Comet), thinks Parker is nuts as he tries to explain that Bernie is actually dead. It’s mayhem.

The straight panned Bernie is a dead man, but the boy's antics give him appearances of life. Kiser is the winner here playing this character with body language, dead pan facial expression, dead man hijinks, and that water skiing scene. No, this is not a ghost story, but the story of a stone cold dead man.

Weekend at Bernie's is an 80's throw back. Imagine a world of people smoking whenever and wherever they want, suit jackets and ties with shorts, big telephones, French cut bikinis, Champaign, caviar, and coke and you've just conjured an 80s movie.

How will it pan out? You’ll just have to find out by watching Weekend at Bernie's

Renegades

Renegades is a totally awesome drama starring Keefer Sutherland (Young Guns franchise, Lost Boys, Stand by Me) and  Lou Diamond Phillips (Young Guns franchise, La Bamba).

Keefer plays Buster McHenry, an undercover detective so deep, nobody (not even his chain of command) knows about it. In fact, he is investigating while on vacation.  He is gnarly and unmanageable, but gets the job done.

Lou Diamond Phillips plays Hank Storm, a Lacota Indian. His family members are killed during the heist of a very valuable lance.

This totally rad movie is typical of the 80’s crime bravado genre. Young guys rule the world with total disregard of the law (even the law enforcers). Both are after the same bad guys and reluctantly team up in a disjointed effort to either kill, arrest, or handle the bad guys whichever way the stronger of the egos manages to accomplish.

This fun story has gore, blood, bullets, explosions and fire that make it a rip roaring cinematic treat. The only question observant viewers might have is “what happened to the guy in the trunk”

Renegades is rated R.

The Breakfast Club

“Hey, hey, hey , hey….oooooohoooooohooooo!” yeah, you know the song, and if you recognize the opening lyrics of “Don’t You Forget About Me”, then you remember the totally awesome mega cult hit The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club stars Molly Ringwald (16 Candles) as Claire Standish, Judd Nelson (St. Elmo’s Fire) as John Bender, Emilio Estevez (St. Elmo’s Fire) as Andrew Clark, and Ally Sheedy (St. Elmo’s Fire) as Allison Reynolds.

All do an awesome job excelling in political incorrectness while portraying the very teens one might find in a 1980’s school. Though the thought of an entire movie filmed in a library can be off putting, each performs solidly as lost souls gathered on a dismal Chicago March Saturday. Soon this incoherent group discovers that a Brain, a Princess, a Criminal, a Jock and a Basket Case can do way more as a group than as individuals. Their mannerisms and expressions throughout the movie are perfect. Even individual dance moves in the famous “make up dance” scene betray their individuality. You can imagine each one with their particular click dancing in the same manner during the prom. Also, Gleason performs most excellently as the gnarly Principal Vernon, bent on punishing the “children”.

Memories of teen angst hit me after watching this movie for the 2d time 27 years later. “Yeah, that’s the way it was”, I found myself asking, “Who didn’t relate to at least one of the characters?” I remember shortly after my 1985 viewing how my friends and I comparing ourselves to someone or maybe even a few of the dentionees. It wasn’t hard then and it was just as easy now. And not to mention the awesome crush I had on Molly Ringwald.

Memorable quotes include:

Claire : Do you know how popular I am? I am so popular. Everybody loves me so much at this school. 

Bender: Poor baby. 

Clark: If I lose my temper you're totaled, man. 

Bender: Totally? 

Clark: Totally. 

Bender: Does Barry Manilow know that you raid his wardrobe? 

Vernon: Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns. 

Sound track was incredible with the hit singles:

“Don’t You Forget About Me” Simple Minds

"Fire In The Twilight" Wang Chung

The Breakfast Club is rate R for language, drug usage and other politically incorrect stuff.

The Gate

The Gate stars Sylvester Stephen Dorff as Glen, Christa Denton as Al, Louis Tripp as Terry, Kelly Rowen as Lori Lee and Jennifer Irwin as Linda Lee.

One day Glen wakes up to discover the rotten tree in his back yard has been removed. He and his buddy Terry dig around as boys do and discover a passage. Upon further investigation they discover it is a passage to hell. Their curiosity releases a gnarly band of diminutive demons that totally release terror on our side of the world.

To make matters worse, Glen and Al’s parents leave for the night leaving Al in charge. That’s the great 80’s teen angst opportunity. Poor big sister has to babysit her bratty big brother and occult worshipping friend.

Backwards playing records, ancient messages in modern rock songs, zombies, terrible dolls, spinning rooms and more make this a forgotten gem. Be sure not to miss this one and find out.

The Karate Kid

The Karate Kid stars Ralph Macchio (The Outsiders, Teachers, Karate Kid II) as Daniel LaRuso, a boy who moves to California with his mother. It doesn't take long for the smart mouthed but likable kid to get in trouble with the local hoods.    
                                                                                                            Cobra Kai is a dojo run by a violent and unfair sensei. He teaches his boys that surrender is for the weak and winning is everything. The students maintain a gang mentality at school and incessantly dog the new LaRusso, giving him the beat down on many occasions.

Fortunately his apartment handyman Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita-Happy Days, Karate Kid II) is a Karate master. He agrees to help LaRuso, teaching him that Karate is more than just self defense. 


Soon it all comes to a head as Cobra Kai baits Daniel and Miyagi into a Karate contest. Can Miyagi train LaRuso in enough time?

The Wild Life

The Wild Life is a fantastic teen movie from 1984. I thought of the movie shortly after reviewing Weird Science and remembering Mitchell Smith, who plays the raspy voiced Wyatt. In The Wild Life, Smith portrays Jim Conrad a teen loner who easily identifies with a misunderstood Vietnam Veteran (Randy Quaid). In 1984, I was a teenager myself and remembered how cool Conrad’s character had seemed. He smoked, drank and cussed, all before his 16^th birthday and wasn’t accountable to anyone.

Eric Stolz (Mask, Some Kind of Wonderful) plays Bill Conrad a high school grad on the way to college man. As he transitions to the collegiate life, he breaks of with his girlfriend Anita (Leah Thomson of Back to the Future, Red Dawn), gets a new apartment, and becomes interested in his younger brother Jim’s well being; all in the name of responsibility.

However, he just can’t quit best friend Tom Drake (Chris Penn of Footloose, All the Right Moves). When they rent an apartment together, it’s anything but responsible.

After remembering the movie, I tried hard to find it online, in video stores and among friends. The Wild Life is available in VHS, Laser Disk and Beta from some online sources. I found a copy to review and discovered an enjoyable flick. The reason that it is not widely available on DVD is the similar reason facing many movies being converted to DVD; licensing. So, in the name of awesomeness, Eddie Van Halen, composer of the soundtrack, please release the rights and make this movie available. If not… “it’s casual”.


Great lines include: 


"It's casual"


"As soon as they see you're afraid, you're dead."


Warning: This movie may lead to more headbutting. Many learned to do so the first time it came out.


This movie is rated R for everything.

Sixteen Candles

Classic lines from gnarly movies

Samantha: This is Farmer Fred.
The Geek: Ted.
Samantha: Oh, I'm sorry, Farmer Ted.
The Geek: I'm not really a farmer. I'm a freshman.

To Live and Die in LA

To Live and Die in LA stars William Petersen as Richard Chance, a Secret Service agent on the track of a big counterfeiting bust. John Pankow plays John Vukovich his partner. Willem Defoe (Streets of Fire) plays bad guy Eric Masters.

Chance is a Secret Service agent ready for a big bust. His partner and best friend who has served for 25 years is on his last big case. Unfortunately he is killed just before retirement. Now Chance is totally miffed. He and Vukovich devise a scheme to take Masters down. The deed is so gnarly that they might not make it out alive.

Dirty bad guys and dirtier cops make this a bogus situation.

  Great lines include:

“Why are you chasing me?”
“I don't know, why you running?”
“Cause you're chasing me”

An exclusive Wang Chung soundtrack gives To Live and Die in LA a tailored sound. You might recognize both the theme song “To Live and Die in LA” as well as the more popular “Dance Hall Days”.

I give To Live and Die in LA 3 alligators for script, 80’s wealth, excess and swag.  

Look for appearances by Dean Stockwell and a very young Jane Leeves (Daphne on Frasier).

To Live and Die in LA is rated R

Name this movie

"I swear on my mother's grave."
"Your mother is playing the back 9 at Bellaire."
"I was speaking in the future tense."

Take Me Home Tonight

Take Me Home Tonight is a 2011 release. Though not a movie made in the 80’s, it is nevertheless is an outstanding 80’s movie. It’s got the setting, background, music, and vernacular that made the 80’s totally tubular. Take Me Home Tonight stars Topher Grace (That 70’s Show, Spider Man 3, Predators) as Matt Fanklin, Ana Faris (House Bunny, Yogi Bear) as Wendy Franklin, Dan Fogler (Kung Fu Panda, Good Luck Chuck) as Barry Nathan, and Teresa Palmer (I am Number Four, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice) as Tori Frederking.

Matt just graduated from MIT, but has not idea of what to do with his life. As such he fills his time working at the mall chain Sun Coast video store, much to the chagrin of his father and friends. One day Tori, his secret crush walks in, turning his life upside down.

He’s got one chance to make an impression and change his destiny. He and his buddy Barry intercept her and follow her from party to party totally convincing her he is a high level banker.

Take Me Home Tonight has the formula for a great 80’s movie. Swimming pools, parties, drug use, exotic cars, beautiful women, young adult angst and a soundtrack of the most righteous songs from the decade. But wait, one last ingredient; the speech of all speeches Matt gives similar to those found at the end of great 80’s hits like Revenge of the Nerds.

Among the many in the awesome soundtrack, great songs include:

Video Killed The Radio Star-The Buggles

Hungry Like The Wolf-Duran Duran

Situation-Yaz

Der Kommisar-After the Fire

There’s even the one hit wonder Opus with Live is Life, a top hit in Europe.

I give Take Me Home Tonight 3.5 alligators for script, clothes and teen angst. The only reason it didn’t get four stars because it wasn’t filmed in the 80’s.

Take Me Home Tonight is rated R

Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf stars Michael J. Fox Family Ties, Back to the Future) as highschool spaz Scott Howard. Scott plays on the losing basketball team, is in love with super popular Pamela Wells (Lorie Griffin of Cheerleader Camp), and hangs out with ultra cool Rupert ‘Stiles’ Stilinski (Jerry Levine of Iron Eagle). Scott is slow to learn that his best friend Lisa ‘Boof’ Marconi (Susan Ursitti of Defense Play) has a crush on him.

Scott wants Pamela, the most popular girl in school. However, he has a problem; she doesn’t notice him. She has a totally jock boyfriend and knows that she is the bomb. What Scott needs is a way to stand out. How convenient that he is an heir to the family curse; turning into werewolves. Armed with a life changing transition, he finds himself big man on campus. He gets the girl, the basketball championship, and tons of respect.

Soon Scott learns that success, the girl and life as a top dog isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  

Great lines include:

“I was hoping it (the werewolf curse) would pass you by”

“Well dad it didn’t pass me by. It landed on my face”

“Listen son. You're going to be able to do a lot of things the other guys aren't.”
“Oh yeah, like chase cars, and bite the mailman?”

Awesome sunglasses, 80’s jackets, vests and parachute pants bring Teen Wolf back to the best of times.

I give Teen Wolf 3.5 alligators for script, clothes and teen angst. The bogus soundtrack is a drawback.

Teen Wolf is rated PG

The Lost Boys

The Lost Boys stars Corey Haim (Lucas, Silver Bullet, License to Drive), Dianne Wiest (Footloose, Parenthood, Bright Lights Big City), Jason Patric (Solar Babies), Keefer Sutherland (Stand By Me, Bright Lights Big City, Young Guns), Corey Feldman (Gremlins, Goonies, License to Drive, Stand By Me) and Jaime Gurtz (Solar Babies, Less Than Zero). Wiest is a recent divorcee named Lucy Emerson who moves to Santa Carla, California with her children Michael (Patric) and Sam (Haim) to live with her dad.

It’s hard enough to be the new kid in town, and Sam’s (Haim) got his share of troubles. Almost immediately he meets the Frog brothers (Feldman and Jamison Newlander) the self proclaimed vampire killers who tell him, “We've been aware there's some very serious vampire activity in this town for some time." Now the vampire activity touches close to the Emerson home.

Big brother Michael (Patric) is being groomed by the vampire gang. The boys led by David (Sutherland), terrorize the coastal town, taking victims at will. They set their fangs on making Michael a fellow blood sucker. Lured by Star (Gertz), Michael slowly begins the transformation.

The David’s gang and Michael’s transformation is being threatened by the team of Frog, Frog and Emerson. See the totally awesome battle between good and evil as Michael’s fate is played out.

Big budget, lot’s of action and bodacious aerial vampire flight and fight make this movie a definite must see. It’s also great to see some of the vampires get what they deserve.

The Lost Boys is a very funny comedy. Great lines include, “I think I should warn you all, when a vampire bites it, it's never a pretty sight. No two bloodsuckers go the same way. Some yell and scream, some go quietly, some explode, some implode, but all will try to take you with them .”

My favorite scenes include the “Lonely Frog” song, the comic store where the Frogs meet Sam and about any scene with the vampire hunters. I think you’ll agree.

The Lost Boys has a totally awesome soundtrack “Cry Little Sister” gave this movie its music identity. Hey, that’s what it’s known for.

The Lost Boys is rated R

The Experts

1989’s The Experts is fun movie starring John Travolta (Grease, Perfect, Staying Alive, Two of a Kind) as Travis and Ayre Gross (House II, Tequila Sunrise)as Wendell. Travis and Wendell know how to party. In fact, they are certified night club experts. That’s exactly why KGB Agent Cameron Smith, played by Charles Martin Smith (Starman, Untouchables) kidnaps them and brings them to Russia.

Smith is in trouble. His bosses with the KGB are totally boaged that their plan to bring down the USA has gotten nowhere. Sure they’ve made progress by replicating a Midwestern small town; that’s righteous. However, the Russians citizens have never developed the community beyond the 1950’s, the only reference the closed country has to American life. In fact, many don’t even know they aren’t American; bogus. Smith is ordered to make changes or else.

Travis and Wendell are on their way to open a new nightclub. On the way Smith hires them and brings them to what they think is small town Nebraska. Unknown to the experts, they’ve been drugged and shipped across the world to a small Russian town. Their mission, to open a club and make the poodle skirt and rolled up jeans Teeny Boppers into totally awesome 80’s New Wavers .

Except for blockbuster John Travolta, it’s awesome that The Experts offers a great cast of moderately known actors.  Even Travolta’s future wife Kelly Preston (Secret Admirer, Space Camp) gets into the act.

No particularly 80’s music you would recognize in the movie, but they are definitely of the awesome decade. KGB and cold war references remind you that this is indeed of the times. Hair styles and clothing will bring you back to the carefree time of posing 80’s style.

This movie is rated PG for adult situations.

Quick, Name the Movie

Here are some quotes from an awesome 80's movie. Think you can name it?

"That was number two...Do not let there be a third."

"You're right, I'm on drugs. I'm a junkie, you know, I mainline, I freebase, I put cocaine on my cornflakes..."

" No. Make that a double Whopper. With American cheese, and large American fries. And a great big American chocolate shake."

St. Elmo's Fire

1985’s St. Elmo’s Fire is a timeless hit. Rocking theme song, awesome cast, and a radical plot makes this movie a great 80’s classic. I saw it in a movie theater while I was a private in the Army and remember my friend saying, “It’s the Breakfast Club all grown up”. That’s it in a nutshell. Most of the friends return (minus Molly Ringwald and the addition of  more super stars).

Brat pack returns include Judd Nelson as Alex Newbary, Emelio Estevez as Kirby Keegar and Ally Sheedy as Leslie Hunter. Defining actors include Rob Lowe (Class, Youngblood) as Billy Hicks, Andrew McCarthy (Class, Pretty In Pink, Mannequin, Weekend at Bernies, Less than Zero) as Kevin Dolenz, Demi Moore (One Crazy Summer) as Jules, Mare Winningham (Turner and Hooch) as Wendy Beamish, and Andy MacDowell (Sex, Lies and Videotape) as Dale Biberman.

Newbary, Keegar, Hunter, Hicks, Dolenz, Jules and Beamish are inseparable friends from Georgetown University. They’ve been tight for years and as realize their futures are right before them. All they have to do is seize the day. But there’s a problem, they refuse to grow up. They go to the same bar, (St. Elmo’s Fire) insist on sitting at their table, refuse to get jobs and those who do work, can’t seem to give up their drug habits they developed in college.

Through a series of ordeals that include arrests, suicide attempts, bad breakups, broken trust and fighting, the group realizes that not only do they need each other, they need to make the plunge into adulthood.

Great lines include, “The only way to lose weight in the thighs is amputation”, “Men, can’t live without ‘em, can’t shoot ‘em”, “I enjoy being afraid of Russia. It's a harmless fear, but it makes America feel better..” and much more.

St. Elmo’s Fire has a totally awesome soundtrack that helped define the 80’s. Love Theme From St. Elmo’s Fire and Man in Motion are awesome contributions to 80’s pop culture.  

St. Elmo’s Fire is rated R

Dangerous Curves

Dangerous Curves stars Tate Donovan (Love Potion #9, Magnum, P.I.) as Chuck Upton, a square dude who is given a chance to demonstrate responsibility by driving a super tubular 1988 Porsche cross country. The only problem is, his irresponsible buddy Wally Wilder (Grant Heslov-License to Drive) is distracted by beautiful women and they lose the car. Later, they find out it is stolen, only to be a cherry prize at a righteous beach beauty pageant.   

This low budget comedy is slow at times. However, if you are in for a late 80’s movie that tries to hold onto the mid decade summer hi jinks genre you might try it.

Dangerous Curves has an 80’s movie soundtrack, but no songs that are familiar. Just the synthesizer and some toe tapping beats.  Look for small appearances by Robert Stack, Leslie Nielsen and Robert Romanus (Mike Damone-Fast Times and Ridgemont High).  

Dangerous Curves is rated PG for adult situations and language.

Plain Clothes

1988’s Plain Clothes is an undercover cop comedy starring Howard Arliss (Full Metal Jacket) as Nick Dunbar. Dunbar is a police officer whose brother is framed for murdering a teacher. After the brother is arrested, Dunbar enrolls in school posing as the son of his sidekick Ed Malmburg (Seymour Cassel of Johnny B. Good, Colors).

Dunbar has a hard time adapting to school. He never fit in as a high school student and came across as too mature. On is first day of school he dresses as a punk rocker but is polite and out of character. His brother gives him some serious high school student perpetrating tips from jail. These excellent pointers transform Dunbar from bogus wannabe to big man on campus. Soon his gnarly company is choice for jocks, princesses, preppies and teachers. He deftly negotiates the relationships around the numerous statutes and bogus policies and laws while on the pursuit of the killer?

Like the movie Clue this chuckle filled mystery has the entire school staff under suspicion. As more murders occur, the suspect list dwindles, but the final twist leaves you with the feeling of “I didn’t see that coming”.

It’s awesome that Plain Clothes offers a great cast of relatively normal actors. 

There are no super popular actors and that makes the movie all the more enjoyable. However, look for tubular performances from George Wendt (Cheers, House), Diane Ladd (Christmas Vacation, Father Dowling’s Mysteries), Suzy Amis, and Max Perlich (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off).

There are no particular songs you might recognize, but the music is definitely of the awesome decade. Catchy songs and accompanying music interact well with the clothing and setting of 1988. Even Dunbar wears the porkpie hat made bodacious by the lead singer of Scritti Politti (Perfect Way).

This movie is rated PG for adult situations. 

Top Gun

1986's Top Gun stars Tom Cruise (Legend, Risky Business, Color of Money, Cocktail) as hot shot pilot, Maverick who gets his chance to go the Navy’s gnarly and super tubular Top Gun school. Only best attend Top Gun and Maverick brings his best weapon's guy, Goose (Anthony Edwards of Gotcha, Revenge of the Nerds) along for the ride.

Maverick and Goose get noticed after chasing off a seriously bogus commie dink bogie. Their commander is totally bummed, but the stoked duo heads to Miramar AFB in California for the next stage in their career. However things aren’t going to be easy. The testosterone filled atmosphere only gets more difficult as two rivals Iceman (Val Kilmer of Real Genius, Top Secret) and Maverick square off for recognition and the affection of instructor Charlie (Kelly McGillis of Witness, The Accused). Add to that Maverick’s reputation as a loner who only cares about himself and the similar reputation of his father and the mystery behind his father’s death.

Big budget, lot’s of action and bodacious dogfights make this movie a definite must see. One guest star is the Kawasaki Ninja 900 / GPz90R, the motorcycle Maverick screams down the highway in. Other actors include, Meg Ryan, Michael Ironside, Tim Robbins and Tom Skerritt.

Great lines include, “I think she lost that loving feeling”, “You can be my wingman anytime”, “The Department of Defense regrets to inform you that your sons died because they were stupid” and the ever re-quoted, “I feel the need, the need for speed.”

Top Gun has a totally awesome soundtrack that helped define the 80’s. Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone, Berlin’s Take My Breath Away, and the Top Gun Anthem.

Top Gun is rated PG
