When Strangers Appear (2001)
Not that bad
I caught this movie on the late movie. Never heard of this movie, I would guess it was a flop in theaters. But I really liked it overall, it may be a tired idea of small towns in the middle of nowhere, with a limited amount of charters, but it still stood up as a good over all film. If you're not into Hollywood "hero saves the day" cookie cutter type movies, this might be for you.
I'm not going to give out what I saw, there are tons of spoilers, but I thought Volvo wagons where driven by environmentalists or doctors, not killers? Also, if this was modern time (2001), when dose a 1971 Dodge Polara become a squad car?
Thank God It's Friday (1978)
it was 1978, nuf said
I was born in 1979, so I really can't say I know that time well. My generation sucks when it comes to being social and music, I was curious after seeing "Saturday Night Fever". Yea, disco to some, sucks. But they close minded folks you really don't want to be around. OK, polyester was hot has hell to ware, Carter was an idiot, people waited to fuel for hours, but people still knew how to have fun when times where rough.
If you want to step into a time warp, this is it. It's a light hearted take in 1978 when disco was huge. You could be anyone, any color, any sex
anything and just be open with who you where. The music is great, it's got a great "happy" beat to it. Seeing people I have only heard of was really neat to see. Donna Summer and Paul Jaba make an appearance and Debra Winger from "Terms of Endearment" was one of the main stars looking for "Mr. Right". Also Jeff Goldblum is the greasy owner of the "Zoo" (Dose this guy ever age?). All in all it was entertaining. If your looking for something to challenge your mind or award winning, look some place else. If you want to feel better, relax a bit, this movie is for you.
