Love me some Darkman, classic Raimi.
Wild at Heart is Lynch in rare form, but definitely a film I have to be in the mood for.
Pump up the Jam is another fave. One of the more poignant teen flicks of the time.
Was never a Steve Martin fan, but I found him extra annoying in My Blue Heaven.
Saw Wild at Heard ONCE in the theater. Never since. Been meaning to look at it again, I barely remember it.
Only thing about My Blue Heaven is my cousin did the score for that crap film. People ignored it in theaters and that was a good thing. It was just a sitcom film.
I agreed with Siskel and Ebert. I liked “Darkman” a lot. Liam Neeson was terrific as Peyton Westlake, and Larry Drake was was so well-cast as Durant. I liked “Dick Tracy” too, the best detective movie ever. Thumbs up for me.
Darkman 4/4 👍👍
I am a fan of your cousin Ira’s music, such as for the Naked Gun series. Thanks for sharing your story!
It’s too bad the next week’s episode is not available.
I was Darkman for Halloween that year. No one got it. I kept getting “Are you suppose to be the mummy?” I love that movie, highly underrated.
Thanks a lot. And he also did Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, which is running a lot right now for Thanskgiving.
I could see the confusion. Darkman did do well though, from what I recall.
Special show. They did a lot of them in the summertime back then. Probably to fill episodes since there weren’t as many movies to review. In the later years, they didn’t have to do that.
Roger Ebert’s one-man war against David Lynch continues. I didn’t realize how much he disliked Lynch’s style; he’s always juxtaposed violence with humor. Think of Bob from Twin Peaks: terrifying or hilarious? Both, in my opinion, showing that there’s a very thin line between the two. Ebert sure didn’t care for his work, though. Wow.
