For a time, John Landis was the preeminent director of Hollywood comedies. His flair for perfect timing coupled with sharp editing made movies like An American Werewolf in London, Animal House and Trading Places classics. Many consider Into the Night the last of the director's great movies while others will indicate that it is the first of a long line of lousy pictures he set to task on late in his career. Regardless, it's a benchmark of Landis' career, one that sits alongside Martin Scorcese's After Hours as a unique trip through the time of every day when most of us are asleep. Jeff Goldblum plays Ed Orkin, a bland engineer with a stalled life. His wife is unfaithful to him, his friends are boring, and now he cannot sleep at night. One evening he eschews his bed for a drive through Los Angeles, ending up at LAX where his life intersects woman-on-the-run Diana (played by a very young and feisty Michelle Pfeiffer). The pair spend the remainder of the movie being hunted by a British secret agent (David Bowie) and Iranian Police, all the while crossing paths with various eccentric midnight hour types played mostly by well-known actors and directors doing cameos. Simply put, this is a weird, weird movie, alternating between comedy and violent drama. While some will argue the unevenness of tone is an unintentional fault, it's rather clear that Landis knew what he was doing and the movie was designed as an experiment. It bounces from place to place in truly unpredictable fashion and is a rather perfect movie to put on during your own sleepless night. Goldblum and Pfeiffer are excellent the whole way through, although their chemistry never quite clicks on a romantic level, lending even more to the "off" tone that permeates the entire picture. Do be sure to look for small roles and cameos filled bybmany directors including David Cronenberg, Jonathan Demme, Jim Henson, Paul Mazursky, Roger Vadim and Landis himself. Also starring Sue Bowser, Kathryn Harrold, and Peggy Sanders. Michelle does have a nude scene but don't blink. Pretty good shot of her ass though. Now in HD!

Tommy Chong wrote, directed and starred in this 1990 comedy. Is it as funny as Tommy's movies with his ex-partner Cheech Marin? No. Is it also one of the worst DVD transfers you'll ever see? Yes.

BUT...it is the ONLY place you're going to see Shelby Chong's breasticles, and if you loved her as one of the fifi's in Things Are Tough All Over you'll overlook anything just to see her. Also starring Peggy McIntaggart.

(And for the record, it's not like Cheech was setting the world on fire with The Shrimp on the Barbie either!)

This splendidly awful horror/exploitation flick from 1991 was originally titled Millennium Countdown and was conceived as a sequel to 1987's schlocky Cheerleader Camp. The proceedings start off promising with an entire sorority house filled with mostly naked babes starting their day. Among the beauteous bazooms on display are those of a young, trim Michelle Bauer and porno starlet Savannah, both of whom treat the audience to extended shower scenes. Tossed in for shits and giggles are Jacklyn Palmer, Julie Wilson and Suzanne Ager who all doff their tops as well. Alas, Dori Courtney steals the show with her stunning black lingerie, though she competes against stiff competition in her scene with comely Erika Nann who is oddly not credited in the lead role of Wendy!

So it's off to a great start, sure, but tragically the movie goes way, way off the rails once things get underway and the lead characters arrive at Mystic Mountain. Biker rapists, a sea monster and a seven-foot tall Druid looking to bring about the end of the world with four virgin sacrifices is what you get, and little of it is as involving as it sounds. Thankfully we do get some nice looks at Peggy McIntaggart, Betsy Russell, and Mindy Myer who, along with Nann, get inexplicably dressed-up by the Druid in cavegirl costumes! Pure cinematic foolishness, this one is no doubt in heavy rotation at bad movie nights all over the world.
