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.

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

3:15-Showdown at Lincoln High

3:15 stars Adam Baldwin as Jeff Hanna is a member of the gang Cobras. Once a member, always a brother until a nasty fight ensues with a rival gang and Jeff walks off and never looks back. However, the Cobras can never forget. Jeff had betrayed them.

Meanwhile, Jeff moves on, becoming a basketball star and all around hero. He has a better girlfriend (Debra Foreman of Valley Girl, My Chauffeur and April Fool's Day and things are going well in spite of the dark high school atmosphere. At Lincoln High, drugs and violence run rampant. The principle is helpless and teachers are for the most part unconcerned with the student underworld. The Cobras run the school, but other gangs are there including the M-16's a fatigue wearing gang run by Mario Van Peeble's character Whisperer.


During a drug bust the Cobra leader Cinco and five members are busted. Cinco is torqued and turns his rage on Jeff. Soon Jeff's friends are harassed and girlfriend is beaten. Jeff forgets his promise to stay out of gang violence and makes a stand at 3:15.


80's style music dominates the sound track. Don't expect to recognize the songs unless you are a fan of Gary Chung, who provided original music for over 70 movies. The music is still good and puts you into the awesomeness of the early decade. 


Look for awesome supporting backup roles by Wings Hauser and Gina Gershon (Red Heat, Pretty in Pink and Cocktail).

M-16 is rated R for violence, adult situations, and nudity.
