In US movie, you normally see bigger cars, muscle cars, vans, and so on - and we didn't have that many huge cars in the 90s. That's something I also liked about the first Bourne or Ronin.

Thankfully I found this one. Michael Caine is fantastic, there are some great driving stunts, beautiful locations, and while it slows down a bit in the middle, the heist and chase sequence of the third act more than makes up for it. I saw the remake years ago and don't remember much about it. Also, this film had to be an influence on the Ocean movies, right?Matt Lintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633393626021227127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-74603056187628032792021-06-26T10:58:54.786-05:002021-06-26T10:58:54.786-05:00F9: THE FAST SAGA (2021, dir.

But I refuse to be left in the dust!<br /><br />Anyway, this classic road movie stars not one but two icons of 60s/70s California soft rock. These two denim-clad boys sure love their cars, because they can't seem to shut up about them. If you love cars too, chances are you'll be properly entertained. If, like me, you're not as high on cars and car culture, you might get a little bored, because the performances are flat and the filmmaking is pretty dull. That's it. And like that, I'm back on track.Adam Ohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501063595783109378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-34610673347182926892021-06-26T02:15:07.013-05:002021-06-26T02:15:07.013-05:00John, agree that PWFWY flicks can be entertaining:...John, agree that PWFWY flicks can be entertaining: the original "Jeepers Creepers," "Breakdown" with Kurt Russell, "Joy Ride," etc.J.M.

...MOONSHINE COUNTY EXPRESS (1977) – On Amazon Prime<br /><br />The moonshine business can be very ruthless, especially if local moonshine magnate Jack Starkey (a wonderfully sleazy performance from William Conrad) does not like the competition. Even with the murder of their father, the Hammer sisters are not going to be intimidated into giving up the illicit liquor racket. The Hammer sisters are hillbilly ladies straight out of Hollywood casting, including Marsha Brady herself. Claudia Jennings is the standout among them; I would have like her in lead role, actually. She sustains a Southern accent better than most of the actors. In any case, the stakes are raised between the Hammer sisters and Starkey as the film progresses till a final showdown. This is prime 1970s exploitation that is full of car chases and other amusing antics. I had a good time. <br />A Casual Listenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395983733474039015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-21038119640079014862021-06-26T00:23:01.995-05:002021-06-26T00:23:01.995-05:00The Ice Road (2021)

Bit of a genre mashup, or refusing to fit neatly into any one genre: Aussie Western combined with small-town conspiracy, part-time art film with commentary on 70s car culture. There’s some car action, but definitely not in the way you’d think. Lots of focus on authority figures, and their abuse of it, and how they use us. Great to see Bruce Spence from Road Warrior so well used here. There’s a ton of weirdness here I couldn’t begin to explain. The inmates have definitely taken over the asylum, and you can’t tell them apart from the staff.dystopic eye monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489045851011795438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-75151478939675989292021-06-25T17:56:41.504-05:002021-06-25T17:56:41.504-05:00The Ice Road (2021, dir.

Local root beer...Hot Rod(1979) Dir George Armitage<br /><br />Local root beer magnate Robert Culp decides to hold a drag racing championship in order to get his son and company name on the national circuit. Culp sends the word out to get dragsters and tourist to the local Fremont raceway. Gregg Henry hears about the racer and enters to prove his mechanic and driving skills. Culp seeing Henry crash when he races his son of course assumes Henry must be a real threat. Culp enlist the help of the local police chief to harass, arrest and threaten Henry. Will Henry be able to make it to the race? Can he beat Culps son and local favorite, Sonny? Will Greg wear the Munn Rootbeer decal on his car? <br />This on really wasn't on of my favorites discoveries of this month. Everyone is good in it, the stakes just seem empty and the tone never really seems established and it never feels like there is a question of whether Henry will win or not. Sometimes its plays like a 'man with no name' versus small town' race movie, the next its trying to be a Bandit-esque Greg versus the man flick. I really couldn't get into either. <br /><br />I found a VHS rip on Youtube. Complete with Charter video intro screen. Munkeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864480765571129242noreply@blogger.com
