R.I.P. Dick Miller 1928-2019

New Release Last Tuesday

Cobra- A tough-on-crime street cop must protect the only surviving witness to a strange murderous cult with far reaching plans.  Crime is a disease, and Sly is the cure.  This Sly action flick has picked up some steam over the years and is really appreciated these days.  When this was announced I was hoping Shout Factory would put the work print version of the film out but I guess there are issues with that.  As the story goes the WB and Sly were getting nervous that Top Gun would beat them at the box office so Sly went in and cut out thirty to forty minutes of the film so it would get an extra play per day at the theater and the plan worked as Cobra was the number one movie that weekend.  This is a great action flick that gives a nod to Dirty Harry and is worth the upgrade to this new edition as it looks much better.  Highly recommended.

First Man- A look at the life of the astronaut Neil Armstrong and the legendary space mission that led him to become the first man to walk on the Moon on July 20, 1969.  This is one of those movies that you need to see in the theater because the visual effects are awesome.  I liked this movie but I wanted to love it so I am glad it is out so I can spin it at home now.  The sound track in amazing and spoiler alert, he makes it to the moon!

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels- Two con men try to settle their rivalry by betting on who can swindle a young American heiress out of $50,000 first.  Confession time, I have never seen this even though it was on HBO all the time I just never found it that appealing.

10 to Midnight- A LAPD detective is on the trail of a very handsome young man who had been seducing and slashing many young women to death.  Man, I love me some Cannon Chuck Bronson.  This is a Bronson cop flick and it is the closet thing Bronson ever did to a horror movie and it’s pretty entertaining.  This is one of those movies that back in the day when they had a title, a movie poster, and Bronson and sold it before film ever rolled on it.  The title has nothing to do with the movie but it is fun trying to figure out if it does.  I have the Twilight version of this so I am not sure if I will upgrade to this new Shout Factory edition.
