the mangler reborn is the latest terrifying chapter in stephen kings hit franchise and boasts gritty thrills and chills that hark back to such 70s classics as the texas chainsaw massacre , and halloween .

the mangler : reborn recieved mixed to negative reviews from most critics , but recieved a lukewarm recieption from fans , who found praise in the film , such as the film ' s twist ending and how it brought back the long overdue original mangler machine .

half the man he used to be : mark when the mangler kills him .

virgin power : sherry ' s blood brings the mangler and the icebox alive .

given the sheer awfulness of the mangler and its sequel ( seriously , they ' re both among the worst movies ever made ) , it ' s virtually impossible to sit down and watch the mangler reborn without some exceedingly low expectations . and while there ' s absolutely no denying that the film comes off as a masterpiece when compared with its predecessors , the mangler reborn ultimately just doesn ' t work ( despite a promising first act that is , alone , more coherent and engaging than anything in the first two installments ) .

the mangler is a 1995 horror film directed by tobe hooper and co - written by hooper and harry alan towers ( under the pseudonym of peter welbeck ) . the film is based upon the stephen king short story of the same name , which appeared in his inaugural short story collection night shift . it stars robert englund and ted levine . it also spawned two sequels the mangler 2 and the mangler reborn .

about the dvd : the mangler reborn arrives on dvd from maple pictures with a widescreen transfer , along with a superb commentary track ( which is informative and far more entertaining than the feature ) , a behind - the - scenes featurette , a stills gallery , and a trailer .

the mangler is a horror film adapted from a short story the mangler by stephen king . released in 1995 , it was directed by tobe hooper and stars robert englund and ted levine . there are two sequels .

the power of blood : the mangler starts craving for a sacrifice when sherry ' s blood is caught on it .

chase scene : the climax of the film is the mangler getting off of its hinges after a failed exorcism attempt and chasing after the protagonists .

the bloodthirsty laundry machine is purchased at auction by repairman hadley , who quickly becomes possessed and kills his wife . some time later , hadley is now abducting young women for the mangler to kill . one such victim is jaime , who is taken back to hadley ' s house , where the mangler devours its victims . but while hadley was away father and son thieves rick played by reggie bannister of " phantasm " fame and mike are doing some breaking and entering and it just so happens that their latest target is hadley ' s horror house . " the mangler reborn " is pretty bad . the gore doesn ' t come until the last 20 minutes , the action moves at the snail ' s pace and the acting is stiff . still the third act of " the mangler reborn " offers plenty of blood and gore and is worth waiting for . 5 out of 10 .

this is a cheap and nasty boring film which i couldn ' t wait to end what a waste of money not in the slightest same vain as the original mangler which sadly shows signs of being dated and mangler 2 graduation day is purely awful too .

the characters of hadley and the watsons were named after the turn - of - the - century company that built the laundry machine in the original " mangler " , hadley - watson .

human sacrifice : the beast in the mangler requires 16 year old virgins to be sacrificed to it if it were to grant power to someone .

the slow pace is exacerbated by the low - rent production values ( the film rarely leaves hadley ' s house ) , a vibe that ' s mirrored in the almost uniformly amateurish performances . still , gardner and cunningham display enough promise to ensure that the mangler reborn never becomes even remotely as excrutiating as one might ' ve expected ; the two are undoubtedly destined for bigger and better things .

heroic sacrifice : averted when sherry tries to sacrifice herself to the mangler to stop it , but hunton forces her out of it .

life or limb decision : george forces his buddy to cut off his arm when he is caught by the mangler . he dies from the blood loss .

the mangler 2 ( also known as the mangler 2 : graduation day ) is a 2002 film and a direct - to - video sequel to the 1995 theatrical release the mangler , which was based on a short story of the same name by stephen king . it stars lance henriksen and chelse swain . while the original was about a demon - possessed industrial laundry - machine , this film places the demon in a private school ' s computer network , where it manifests as a destructive computer virus with some of the same abilities as a ouija board .

is one of the worst dungpiles ever committed to film mean nothing to the fine folks at barnholtz entertainment . the outfit must have picked up the " mangler " license for about $ 4 . 50 , which is quite the worthwhile investment for the distributor behind

the world needs another mangler sequel like it needs another leprechaun , hellraiser , or children of the corn . and somehow these things make just enough money to warrant subsequent installments , which i find sadly hilarious .

the mangler , in gartley ' s blue ribbon laundry service , is a laundry press owned by bill gartley ( englund ) . the trouble starts when gartley ' s niece , sherry ( pike ) , accidentally cuts herself on a lever connected to the machine and splashes blood on the mangler ' s tread while trying to avoid being crushed by an old ice box some movers are clumsily carrying past . sparks and light streams occur when both the blood and the ice box come into close contact with the mangler . later , mrs . frawley , an elderly worker , struggling to open a bottle of antacids , spills them on the moving tread . when she attempts to collect them , the safety shield inexplicably lifts up and traps her hand inside , followed by her entire body getting pulled into the machine , crushed and folded like a sheet .

apparently the plot is this : a repairman is trying to rebuild the original " mangler " ( aka " haunted laundry press " ) up in his attic . he apparently becomes possessed by the evil machinery , and spends the next hour bopping people on the head with a mallet before feeding the shrieking asses into a conveyer belt surrounded by knives , saw blades , and tiny cleavers .

while waiting to hear news on sherry , john receives a letter from his departed friend and confidant , photographer j . j . j . pictureman ( crutchley ) , who warns him not to trust anyone in the town missing a body part as they are possessed by the mangler . time passes and john goes to check up on her . however , to great dismay , he discovers the machine has returned to its place on the floor and resumed its duties as a speed ironer and sherry , now missing her ring finger from her encounter with the mangler , has taken her uncle ' s place as the new tyrannical owner of the blue ribbon laundry . he throws the flowers he brought her away and leaves the factory for good .

there are even more ridiculous aspects of the plot that i haven ' t mentioned , like the possessed refrigerator that bumps into the laundry press at one point , apparently transferring a demonic spirit in the process , or the fact that the mangler breaks free and begins chasing our heroes at the climax because it is fed some antacids ( i ' m serious ) . this is a movie impossible to describe with a straight face even though it never tips itself as being deliberately comic .

the street fighter video game series debuted in arcades in 1987 , but became huge in the 1990s with the release of street fighter ii , and cemented the franchise as one of the elite fighting video games , alongside the more violent and graphic mortal kombat .

during the introduction of the character of travis redfish , the house shown to be his home is the same one prominently featured in the texas chain saw massacre , which is a nod to his character’s texan origin .

today’s feature is the finale of the darkman trilogy : darkman iii : die darkman die .

the plot of mortal kombat : annihilation picks up right where the previous movie left off , following the surprising appearance of shao kahn after the conclusion of the mortal kombat tournament . for vague reasons , the evil leader given the human heroes six days before he permanently merges the dimensions and conquers earth , which gives them time to train and come up with a plan .

the most evident visual problem with the movie is the effects work . while the writing is bad , that would have been forgivable if the movie had provided decent action and special effects , but unfortunately it doesn’t deliver in either category . it is hard to blame this on the workers particularly , as both time and the budget were clearly shackled with unreasonable constraints . still , the product on screen looks like something from the mid 1980s , not 1997 , which particularly evident in the “animality” fight during the climax .

part of the central plot of over the top is a “slobs vs . snobs” scenario that is fought out internally in the mind of mendenhall’s character , mike hawk ( heh ) . throughout the movie , he is caught in the crossfire between the high - class influence of his wealthy grandfather and the blue - collar style of his long - absentee father ( stallone ) , and visibly transitions between the two throughout the story . while the “slobs vs . snobs” conflict is hardly unique , it plays out interestingly to have the battle waged inside the psyche of a kid .

the martial arts movie legend sonny chiba had an unrelated franchise of films in the 1970s similarly called the street fighter , which included the sequels sister street fighter , return of the street fighter , and the street fighter’s last revenge . these films are lauded as grindhouse action favorites , and are hailed by die - hard fans of the genre .

over the top was directed and produced by menahem golan of the cannon group , who worked extensively with his co - producer cousin , yoram globus , to bring the world such movies as enter the ninja , revenge of the ninja , ninja iii : the domination , breakin’ , breakin’ 2 : electric boogaloo , the delta force , the apple , bolero , and american ninja , among many others .

the cinematographer for the movie was william a . fraker , whose list of credits include spacecamp , the island of doctor moreau , wargames , 1941 , the exorcist ii , vegas vacation , and tombstone .

the character of sheeva , a multi - limbed antagonist , was cut down to have minimum screen time once it became clear that the necessary effects to portray the character were cost prohibitive for the production .

henry returns to the cabin to find beaver dead and the worm that killed him now laying a group of eggs . in order to kill all of the alien larvae he sets fire to the cabin .

outside of the dynamic duo of golan and globus , the other producers on over the top were tony munafo ( judge dredd , tango & cash , cobra , demolition man ) and james d . brubaker ( the nutty professor , the nutty professor ii , rhinestone , the right stuff , bruce almighty ) .

police officer john hunton ( levine ) , with the help of his demonologist brother - in - law mark ( matmor ) , investigates the incident and the ones that soon follow . as the plot progresses , mark tries to convince hunton that the machine may be possessed , especially after seeing the possessed ice box , and the only way to stop the deaths is to exorcise the machine to dispel whatever demon is inhabiting it . they also come to learn gartley and the town elders have all sacrificed their virginal daughters to the machine on their 16th birthdays in exchange for wealth and power , with gartley planning to do the same to sherry to complete his end of the bargain .

: gartley doesn ' t make a direct appearance in the original short story and isn ' t hinted to be involved with the possession of the speed ironer .

the one thing i do wish was incorporated into the movie was some of the music from the street fighter game , which is outstandingly memorable , particularly guile’s theme . how awesome would it have been for an orchestrated version to have been included in one of the battles ?

the musical score for roadie was composed by craig huxley , who also provided the music for the movie alligator , wrote the theme song for walker , texas ranger , and provided sound work on motel hell and thriller .

the team of producers for the film included tim zinnemann ( the running man , pet sematary ) , kenzo tsujimoto ( street fighter : the animated series ) , akio sakai ( final fantasy : the spirits within ) , edward r . pressman ( judge dredd , masters of the universe ) , grant hill ( jupiter ascending , titanic ) , and sasha harari ( the doors ) .

meanwhile , a military unit led by curtis ( morgan freeman ) , seeks to contain everyone exposed to the aliens . curtis sends owen ( tom sizemore ) to lead an air strike against the aliens crashed spaceship . the aliens use telepathy to distract the pilots , but the four apaches and curtis ' little bird massacre most of the aliens with miniguns and missiles . the alien ship then self - destructs destroying the remaining aliens and two helicopters . henry arrives at the base as the remaining helicopters land and convinces owen to reveal the camp to the u . s . army . after tracking owen through a chip in his gun , curtis escapes in a helicopter .

drop the hammer : when the icebox attacks mark , hunton grabs a sledge hammer and starts beating on it .

hilariously , there were two different official street fighter : the movie video game adaptations : one was made explicitly for arcades , and another was produced independently for the home console systems sega saturn and playstation . these games featured the vague likenesses of the actors from the feature as their characters .

the introduction to the movie looks and feels like the start of a television show rather than a movie . the background is laid out in voiceover and clips ahead of the credits , rather than having it weaved into the story itself . it seems unnecessary and amateurish to me , to say the least . even if this was meant to be a television show script , it should have been modified to suit this form .

then again , the poor performance from reynolds in this movie is hardly unique : stallone is undeniably wooden as well , and the younger actors visibly struggle with the respective burdens of their various roles . the only solid performance in the whole thing in my opinion was robert sean leonard , who also plays against type as a sleazy agent / manager , which is a fairly small part in the grand scheme of the movie .

the cinematographer for the film was matthew f . leonetti , who also shot santa’s slay , the butterfly effect , 2 fast 2 furious , red heat , action jackson , commando , weird science , and the bat people , among many others .

today’s feature is the first sequel to sam raimi’s twisted superhero tale , darkman : darkman ii : the return of durant .

the musical score for driven was composed by electronica artist brain transeau ( bt ) , who also provided music for such movies as go , stealth , and the fast and the furious .

the screenplay for over the top was penned by lead actor sylvester stallone and stirling silliphant ( village of the damned , the towering inferno , the poseidon adventure ) , with story credit going to gary conway ( american ninja 3 , american ninja 2 ) and david engelbach ( america 3000 , death wish ii ) .

moral kombat : annihilation was directed by john leonetti , who was also behind the butterfly effect 2 and annabelle , and shot movies like child’s play 3 , i know who killed me , the scorpion king , the mask , and the original mortal kombat .

for bad movie fans , i think the whole darkman series is worth checking out . both of the sequels have some upsides that justify viewing , and the original is simply a fantastic cult movie .

roadie received a number of alternate titles for international markets , given that the slang term ‘roadie’ doesn’t translate well . the spanish - language title was los locos caminos del rock ( which translates to the crazy roads of rock ) , while the italian title was similarly roadie : le strade del rock ( the road of rock ) .

the first thing that i noticed when watching driven is that the music absolutely does not work in the movie : it doesn’t seem to sync up with what is going on in the story , and seems like it is more there to fill in space than serve a purpose . it is kind of like if the rhythm section in a rock band is trying to drown out the lead guitar : it just doesn’t work , and throws the whole situation off balance .

visceral that audiences seemed to think that the failure of his every subsequent film to achieve that level of verisimilitude was a mistake . the misconception has colored the way the rest of hooper ' s filmography has been received , which is ironic because even when he was making

the editor for darkman ii was daniel t . cahn , who has done extensive editing on he small screen for shows like the young and the restless , cheers , and 7th heaven , and also cut the high - tech creature feature how to make a monster .

the music in over the top is terrifically iconic for the late 1980s , integrating synth , rock , country , and blues into a fantastic backdrop for this odd psuedo - action movie , sounding like what i assume a dingy truck stop in the 1980s would have .

the musical score for over the top was provided by giorgio moroder , who also composed music for movies like scarface , flashdance , american gigolo , midnight express , and the 1984 remake of cat people .

jonesy sees duddits beckoning him to cross the street , but as he does so jonesy is hit by a car . his injuries heal with mysterious speed and 6 months later he is able to make the group ' s annual trip . jonesy and beaver meet a man lost in the forest named rick mccarthy ( eric keenleyside ) . he is very ill so the group lets him rest inside their cabin nearby . military helicopters fly over the area and announce that the area will be quarantined . jonesy and beaver return to the cabin to find a deceased rick in the bathroom , the room covered with moss and gore . a large worm tries to escape from the bathroom after being excreted into the toilet by rick before he died . beaver attempts to trap the creature under the toilet lid , but the lamprey - like worm , with multiple rows of razor - sharp teeth , kills him . jonesy escapes from the cabin but runs into a large alien called mr . grey , who possesses jonesy ' s body .

even though i l did a dorky bad 7 word review about the mangler i loved it when i was a kid and still love the style and madness . i was super frustrated as usual with the hoops movies with how they ' re just never scary or even unsettling , and too often feel like he ' s just kind of tone deaf . this obviously isn ' t true with texas chainsaw massacre or poltergeist , but the brilliance of those movies adds to my frustration . i have similar feelings about terry gilliam ; it ' s like their both stuck in their own imaginations going balls out 100 mph all the time . i can always watch me some liferorce , texas 2 , and funhouse , but i wish hooper had hit more home runs . he ' s like a utility baseball player that that bats . 200 , but you remember that game winning hit and that diving catch , and you fucking love him for it . he ' s my brian daubach . any advice ? i want to get over my hooper hangup .

trivia tidbits : horror fans will recognize reggie bannister from the phantasm series , while the true hardcores will spot director jeff burr as a lawnmowing imbecile . meanwhile , anyone with a pair of working eyeballs will recognize the dvd case as a blatant copy of the saw vibe .

the editor for the film was tom walls , who also cut surf ninjas , mac and me , bachelor party , and mortal thoughts .

the screenplay for darkman ii was written by steven mckay , who also penned diggstown and hard to kill . the story credit , meanwhile , was given to the duo of robert eisele ( the great debaters ) and larry hertzog ( hardcastle & mccormick , la femme nikita ) .

overall , driven is a platonic ideal of a poorly conceived box office bomb . the actors are a mix of past - their - prime veterans and unbankable rookies , the story is based on a sport that isn’t particularly popular in the united states , and the production budget ballooned out of control in a way that almost doomed it out of the gate . driven just about destroyed stallone’s career , which was only salvaged in the end by the reboots rocky balboa and rambo a number of years later , which paved his return to action with the expendables franchise .

the editor for darkman iii : die darkman die was daniel t . cahn , who has done extensive editing on he small screen for shows like the young and the restless , cheers , and 7th heaven , and also cut the high - tech creature feature how to make a monster .

the effects team on roadie included mike moschella ( hook , wild in the streets ) , joyce rudolph ( teen wolf , hider in the house ) , john frazier ( white dog , war of the roses , hesher ) , and howard jensen ( ed wood , rocky iv ) .

i wasn’t able to dig up an estimate of the production budget on darkman ii , but the low - rent cast would certainly indicate a low budget . however , the lack of a theatrical release still makes its profitability questionable .

the cinematographer for driven was mauro fiore , an academy award winner with credits including avatar , southpaw , smokin’ aces , training day , and the equalizer .

the effects workers for street fighter included zoltan elek ( leviathan , timecop , double team ) , maggie fung ( the island of doctor moreau , mission impossible iii ) , brian cox ( ghost ship , razorback ) , suzanne m . benson ( spy hard ) , dean sadmune ( the 6th day , tammy and the t - rex ) , rob conn ( eragon ) , rodney burke ( stealth , red planet , the punisher ) , mont fieguth ( the matrix , the punisher ) , paul gorrie ( hot fuzz , red planet , dark city ) , walter van veenendaal ( son of the mask , the matrix ) , and david young ( stealth , mad max beyond thunderdome ) .

one of the other problems with this film is that it tries to crunch too much content into the movie , particularly in the form of characters . it is one thing to try to appease a fan base by including favorite characters from the source material , but there is a point where there are so many characters that none of them have the time to get fleshed out . fans of the games certainly love ermac and noob saibot , but they ( and many other characters ) are wasted in the movie , as they are too prominent to be background characters , but not important enough to be real members of the cast .

points for trying to neophyte filmmakers erik gardner & matt cunningham , who obviously had a moronic concept and a skimpy budget to contend with , but the kids are at the mercy of the in - name - only sequel machine , which means that any horror title with only the slightest amount of name recognition will , eventually , yield two or three sequels . the facts that tobe hooper ' s

bloody handprint : sherry leaves one on the icebox when she hurts her hand .

i like the concept behind the plot here : inevitably the clandestine research done by darkman would continue to mount expenses , and his vigilante activities would draw a lot of attention from both police and criminals . the concept of manufacturing his power and distributing it as a drug adds a great little commentary about capitalism and drug use to the story , which is a nice new dimension to it as well .

as you would expect of just about any cannon release from the era , over the top is a completely ridiculous movie , and a whole lot of fun at the same time . to say the least , it lives up to its name : the arm wrestling sequences in particular can only be described as “over the top , ” in just about any way you can imagine : they are a chorus of lights , grunts , music , facial expressions , and large , angry truckers .

the screenplay for roadie was written by michael ventura and big boy medlin , the latter of whom was a journalist who conceived of the central character , and went on to be an executive at e ! entertainment . story credit for the film was also given to director alan rudolph , who helmed movies like breakfast of champions , the secret lives of dentists , and afterglow , and executive producer zalman king .

another street fighter film adaptation was made in 2009 , called street fighter : the legend of chun li . the goal was for this movie to contrast with the 1994 effort by being far more serious in tone . however , it proved to be even less well - received , and even had lower grosses than the original .

) and ends up going underground for the climax , again relying on his favorite trope of " the bad place . " overlong , unevenly paced and cartoonishly broad ,

johnny cage’s very limited role in mortal kombat : annihilation was possibly due to the original actor , linden ashby , refusing to sign on to join the sequel’s cast .

the cast for the movie includes writer / producer sylvester stallone ( over the top , rocky iv , rhinestone , tango & cash , the expendables , cobra , judge dredd ) , burt reynolds ( cop and a half , boogie nights , smoky & the bandit , shark , deliverance , fuzz ) , kip pardue ( remember the titans ) , stacy edwards ( superbad ) , til schweiger ( far cry , inglorious basterds ) , gina gershon ( face / off ) , estella warren ( the cooler , kangaroo jack ) , brent briscoe ( the green mile ) , and robert sean leonard ( dead poet’s society , house , m . d . ) .

outside of zalman king , the producers for roadie included john pommer , who was a production manager on the great santini , walking tall , and paths of glory , and carolyn pfeiffer , who also produced the vanilla ice vehicle , cool as ice .

the plot of the movie is also a bit of a problem for me : it kicks off with the young racer already having won a number of races on his own , and hitting a backslide over the course of an opening montage . stallone is brought in to reinvigorate him to make a final push in the season . the combination of a green rookie and a washed - up veteran is a good combination , but the fact that the kid is already an established winner when the story begins takes away from some of their potential dynamic . the kid already knows how to win : he isn’t totally wet behind the ears and in need of mentorship , he’s a professional in a slump who needs someone to pump his tires . this just isn’t as compelling of a scenario to work with . for instance , a movie where stallone discovers a young racer while enjoying his retirement would be far more interesting , because there would be a deeper dynamic between them and a clearer end goal for the story .

the cast of die darkman die includes arnold vosloo ( 24 , the mummy ) , jeff fahey ( the lawnmower man , machete , body parts , planet terror ) , darlanne fluegel ( lock up , once upon a time in america ) , roxann dawson ( star trek : voyager ) , and nigel bennett ( the skulls ) .

a third mortal kombat movie was already in planning when mortal kombat : annihilation came out , but the overwhelmingly negative reception to the movie effectively forced those plans into cancellation .

the team of producers for the movie included alison savitch ( foodfight , mortal kombat ) , joshua wexler ( foodfight , beowulf ) , brian witten ( detroit rock city , dark city , spawn ) , kevin reidy ( ever after ) , lawrence kasanoff ( foodfight , class of 1999 , chud ii : bud the chud , blood diner , mortal kombat ) , carla fry ( the mask , the long kiss goodnight , lost in space ) , and gerrit v . folsom ( queer eye for the straight girl ) .

trying to nail down what the problem was with this movie isn’t easy . i think the failure had more to do with the world not knowing what it wanted from this movie than anything else . were fans expecting a serious , gritty action picture ? that wouldn’t be at all in the spirit of the cartoonish video game , with has distinguished itself from mortal kombat by being more colorful and flamboyant , as opposed to gory and brutal .

personally , i don’t hold any ill feelings towards this movie whatsoever . it doesn’t take itself very seriously , and there are some solid humorous moments interspersed with the naturally over the top and ridiculous action story , which i welcomed . the fact that the video game is basically plot - less left a lot of wiggle room for how to construct this movie , and what they came up with is something that i don’t think is half bad . some fans were clearly unhappy with some character changes that were made to fit them into the confines of the story , but at the same , there was a lot of attention put into making sure the characters at least looked their parts , which i appreciated .

overall , the movie is on the edge of being entertainingly terrible . some bad movie fans are much higher on it than others , but i’m in the camp of people that finds it to be a little too boring to be elite . there is certainly some amusing incompetence across the board here , and it isn’t unwatchable , but it is far from the top of my bad movie list . it is still worth giving a shot for bad movie fans , and definitely a must - see for fans of the video game franchise .

as the movie opens , a portly and dim - witted repairman named hadley ( weston blakesley ) has just finished restoring an antique machine in the spare bedroom of his house . what hadley doesn ' t realize is that he is actually under the control of said machine , which is demonically possessed and now in the process of merging itself with the hapless sap . in a twist straight out of little shop of horrors , hadley is forced to serve up living victims to the machine after discovering that it requires human sacrifices to keep operating .

interestingly , the production of street fighter happened almost concurrently with the film adaptation of its key rival franchise , mortal kombat , which released in 1995 . reportedly , van damme even turned down the role of johnny cage in that movie due to his involvement with street fighter .

the cast of over the top is made up of sylvester stallone ( judge dredd , rocky iv , rhinestone , tango & cash , demolition man , the expendables , death race 2000 ) , robert loggia ( big , scarface , holy man ) , susan blakely ( concorde : airport ’79 , the towering inferno ) , and rick zumwalt ( batman returns ) .

first off , arnold vosloo is by all accounts a big step down from liam neeson in the lead role . neeson’s portrayal really seemed cracked and generally unhinged in darkman , and he wasn’t afraid to look visibly dis - shelved or frantic . vosloo , on the other hand , is way too calm and collected for what his character is supposed to be . outside of a couple of outbursts , he seems to be functioning just fine . there is an argument to be made that this is because the story takes place some time after the first movie , but it is far less entertaining at the end of the day regardless of the rationale .

the film was critically panned for , among other things , its similarity to another king adaptation , the lawnmower man ( whose producers king sued to remove his name from the marketing , given its threadbare connection to his original story ) , and lack of relevance to its predecessor .

darkman iii was directed and shot by bradford may , an experienced television director who worked on shows like dallas , hawaii five - o , jag , smallville , and supernatural , and also helm the previous entry in the darkman franchise , darkman ii : the return of durant .

, but it might help contextualize it for viewers who would otherwise take it at face value . this is , in many ways , his most absurdist film , which is saying a lot when he also made the movie about the family of cannibals turning people into chili and the other movie about the naked vampires from space . tobe hooper has a high bar for crazy and

darkman iii : die darkman die was written by the duo of michael colleary ( face / off , death wish v ) and mike werb ( the mask , face / off ) .

the primary love interest of the movie is a 16 - year - old aspiring groupie with an obsession with alice cooper , and an apparent psychic ability to detect rock songs in radio waves . she is at times purely manipulative , but in other moments a child - like , naive , and honest character . much like the problem with meat loaf’s travis redfish , she seems like an entirely different character in any given scene , to the point that the interactions between the two of them are essentially a crapshoot of personalities that could interact in any variety of ways .

today’s feature is a 1987 sylvester stallone vehicle with an immensely appropriate title : over the top .

for more thoughts on driven , i recommend checking out film brain’s bad movie beatdown video on the flick , as well as roger ebert’s surprising 2 1 / 2 star review of the film .

driven was directed and produced by renny harlin , the action movie director responsible for such films as cliffhanger , die hard 2 , the adventures of ford fairlane , the long kiss goodnight , a nightmare on elm street 4 , cutthroat island , deep blue sea , mindhunters , and 12 rounds .

for fans of darkman , i think darkman ii is certainly worth checking out at least once , with the knowledge going in that it is in no way on the same footing with its predecessor .

most people note raul julia as an obvious highlight of this movie , and i absolutely agree . he has some highly memorable lines , looks iconic in the role , and manages to even slip some humor into a role that is absolutely straight and iron - faced . however , i think the good performances go beyond just him : i actually like jcvd in this picture as well . he looks on top of his game , and gets a couple of hammy moments of his own in the movie . the rest of the cast is a bit of a mixed bag , though i personally loved the comic relief portrayal of zangief and the duo of ryu and ken , which were all criticized by many .

in its first week , it underperformed and took in $ 1 . 1m on 800 screens at the us box office . [ 4 ] it also failed in the european box office . [ 5 ]

the music for street fighter was composed by graeme revell , who also provided music for the fog , freddy vs . jason , daredevil , red planet , blow , and spawn , among many others .

, the film broke even on its estimated $ 68 million budget . while it earned only $ 33 , 685 , 268 in the domestic market , it made $ 75 , 715 , 436 worldwide .

mortal kombat : annihilation is an absolute trainwreck of a movie from top to bottom . to start with , the movie shouldn’t have been pushed forward on such a weak script , which was enough to turn numerous actors away from the project from the start . the generally rushed production is something that is definitely evident on screen , as just about everything about it feels unfinished , like it needed to percolate longer .

jo later went on spring break in europe . the camera shows her getting a call from her father . after her phone call ends , a strange and familiar message appeared on the screen of jo ' s cellphone saying " you ' ve been mangled " , which means that the virus is still alive .

i dont think this was actually a stephen king , not good enough calibre , the original was a book by him , so its a bit misleading . good idea but pretty cheap budget badly made movie , pretty gory , except for the bit when u can see the ' victim ' climbing out of the mangle ! but hey if you ignore all that its pretty horrible and scary . good for a laugh .

an exceptional home on the tigris delta is the common theme in this series directed by diego lerman ( tan de repente , l’oeil invisible ) that offers thirteen different stories unfolding from the beginning of the 20th century until 2026 . each episode plunges the viewer into the heart of a different decade while introducing new characters , battling with the ideological , social and political references of their time .

perhaps the most hopeful of the recent argentine films is suddenly ( tan de repente ) . it chronicles the experience of an overweight girl named marcia ( tatiana saphir ) , whose life consists of working at a lingerie shop , watching television , and obsessively calling an ex - boyfriend . one day she ' s spotted wandering the avenidas by soft - butch chicks mao ( carla crespi ) and lenin ( veronica hassan ) . mao claims she is in love with marcia and wants " to fuck her . " the pair kidnaps her , and takes her in a car - jacked taxi out to the beach .

at the time of her death in 1885 , rosalía de castro was little known outside of her native galicia , a region in northwestern spain . yet this woman poet who wrote more than half of her poems in a regional language and did not follow the poetic conventions of her time is now considered one of the outstanding figures of spanish literature .

although denied permission to film there , the school is the prestigious colegio nacional de buenos aires which was founded by former president , bartolomé mitre , and attended by many notable argentine statesmen including manuel belgrano , leader in the war of independence and creator of the argentinian flag . both the new influx of pupils and we , the viewers , are assured that :

unlike her sisters , rosalía de castro has established a secure reputation in peninsular literature , but such was not the case during her lifetime ( 1837 - 85 ) , when she fluctuated between being a " nobody " ( emily dickinson ' s word ) and a " santiña " ( dear little saint ) . 1 few have noted her " monstrous " . . .

the poetry of rosalía de castro has frequently been characterized as simple , clear , and unadorned . 1 like bécquer ' s , her verse possesses a certain simplicity to which it owes part of its charm . yet many of her poems , though outwardly uncomplicated in theme and technique , have a strangely complicated effect on their reader , and often this effect is due to her subtle . . .

so now we have organ music not vibraphone like i’d hoped , five tracks of warped pop stretching between 6 : 30 and 8 : 00 , each gradually swelling from programmed drum tracks to swirling , densely layered organ jams . it’s an odd record , but one with significant charm , an antidote of sorts to the bullheaded cock rock of expo 86 . gone are the open road anthems , replaced with melodic cul - de - sacs that endear without particularly leading anywhere .

olivier nakache ( suresnes , france , 1973 ) and éric toledano ( paris , 1971 ) closed the festival in 2011 with the world premiere of intouchables ( the intouchables ) , winner of 35 awards in its subsequent international career and the biggest french box - office success worldwide ; they also closed the 2014 festival with samba . with their new collaboration , le sens de la fête / cest la vie ! , a comedy set at a frenzied wedding in an 18th century french castle , they now compete for the first time for the golden shell .

some of the touches of realism which characterize cantares are continued in follas novas , but in the second book rosalía tends to concentrate on the more tragic manifestations of life around her . a few poems are filled with realistic details and local color and employ colloquial expressions : " vamos bebendo " ( p . 460 ) [ all page citations are taken from rosalia de castro , obras completas . ] , " miña casiña " ( pp . 501 - 03 ) , " soberba " ( pp . 503 - 04 ) , " xan " ( pp . 512 - 13 ) , " tanto e tan to nos odiamos " ( pp . 519 - 22 ) , and others . a note of humor is sometimes discernible , but it is always diluted with irony , manifesting a keen observation of human nature which is comical in its pathos . the comic always borders very closely on the tragic . the long narrative poem " ¡ a probina qu ' está xorda , … ! " ( pp . 504 - 12 ) is one of the most extensive , animated and colorful of rosalía ' s production , nevertheless it contains a strong tone of sobriety . the courageous and clever old woman ( sister to the loquacious vella in cantares , iii ) , is nonetheless a pathetic figure as she wanders through the night . the gaiety of the feast and the musicians , the generosity of the wealthy hostess , and the brief warmth of the fire do not alter the fact that there is poverty in the midst of plenty and that , after one night of food and warmth , the old woman will once more wander through the night , precariously maintaining the breath of life and the spark of human dignity 12 .

i was almost not seeing this film , taking into account the negative comments of another user and the average of 6 it received from imdb users . i went to the screening at istanbul film festival because we had nothing better to do and left with great contentment that only a sincere , non - pretentious and lean film as this could provide . it reminded me of jarmusch ' s " stranger than paradise " with it ' s close to life approach . characters are real , acting is very good . it introduced me a fresh , new director from argentina .

in diego lerman ' s generous film , going bankrupt is an excuse for spending less time shopping and more time meeting potential friends and lovers .

one of the upsides of argentina ' s recent economic hardships is a boost to its film industry . as it ' s relatively inexpensive to shoot in buenos aires , to hire topnotch editors and equipment , an exciting new independent cinema has emerged . this argentine " new wave " includes directors like adrián caetano ( bolivia [ 2002 ] ) , lucretia martel ( la ciénaga [ 2001 ] ) , and lisandro alonso ( la libertad [ 2002 ] ) . their films break from a tradition of state funding , censorship , and corruption . because my wife is an argentine filmmaker , i have seen some of this transformation firsthand ; young artist are maturing , and expressing themselves in bold , experimental ways .

when the taxi breaks down , they hitch a ride to the town of rosario , where lenin remembers she has a great aunt named blanca ( beatriz thibaudin ) . though lenin and her mom are not talking to each other back in buenos aires , and relations in their family seem strained , aunt and niece , who have not seen each other since lenin was a little girl , form an instant and profound bond . the girls stay for a day or two at blanca ' s house , and their lives change shape .

it ' s not often that a film out - cools jim jarmusch , or matches observational humanists like eric rohmer at the same time . suddenly also recalls david lynch ' s work , finding eerie beauty in the most banal of images , illustrating human truths via inanimate objects . the act of pouring black coffee , drinking maté or smoking cigarettes is here transformed into a kind of poetry .

on a movie screen , the grain of the black and white 16mm blown up to 35mm makes every frame a haunting work of art . but empire ' s region 1 dvd appears to have been transferred directly from a video , which makes the graininess hard to read . still , this is a minor complaint . suddenly encourages us to be open to new experiences , to see the mystery in the mundane , as you follow characters who discover one another and their own new purposes out of the ashes of the old . in the argentina of diego lerman ' s generous film , going bankrupt is an excuse for spending less time shopping and more time meeting potential friends and lovers .

in buenos aires , overweight shop worker marcia ( tatiana saphir ) consoles herself over her loveless existence with extended comfort eating . then she meets lenin ( veronica hassan ) and mao ( carla crespo ) , two punk lesbians who fall in love with her and decide to abduct her , spiriting her away in a stolen taxi to . . . the beach . starting off as an edgy thriller before transforming into something far less expected , suddenly hides a heart of gold beneath a fake tough exterior .

unexpected contrivances are the rule in director diego lerman ' s first feature film , a fascinating example of how to keep an audience on its toes by delivering something far different than what ' s promised . it ' s a film that ' s full of surprises as characters and situations alter before our eyes with all the abruptness that the title implies .

after hijacking a taxi at knifepoint and travelling to the beach , the women end up in the city of rosario , where lenin has an elderly relative , blanca ( beatriz thibaudin ) . holing up with aunt blanca and her two lodgers , mao and marcia develop a fitful affair while lenin starts to re - appreciate the value of family .

while it ' s apparently uninterested in what drives its street - tough lesbian anti - heroines , this meandering drama is full of incidental details and a belief that plot should be secondary to character . not everything works , but it ' s an impressive debut that ' s already been compared to jim jarmusch ' s whimsical indie road movie stranger than paradise ( mainly because of its gentle pacing and sumptuous black and white cinematography ) . at heart , though , it ' s a very argentinian piece of filmmaking .

sketching the vagaries of the country ' s financial crisis with the lightest of touches , lerman succeeds in creating a counterpoint to the world - weary pessimism of films like el bonaerense and nine queens . by celebrating the importance of our relationships with others , it warns of the necessity of appreciating each moment before the cruel suddenness of life takes its toll .

marcia , a young woman who works in a linen shop in buenos aires , is accosted in the street by two punk girls - - lénine and mao . after marcia refuses mao’s advances , she is threatened by lénine , then taken in a taxi to travel to the sea .

at a gas stop , a truck driver takes the trio to visit his aunt blanca , where they meet felipe , a biology student , and marcia becomes attracted to him . in spite of this chaotic climate and the various dramas that are played out , blanca ultimately succeeds in bringing harmony to the group .

marcia is young and fat and lives a grey , routine life in the city of buenos aires . mao and lenin , a punk girl couple , run into marcia and for some strange reason decide to express their love for her . fanciful mao declares she ' s in love with marcia and offers to prove it . " the love which has no explanation can be proved , and proof is worth as much as love , " mao tells her . from there on , the three ( daring couple and bewildered marcia ) leave buenos aires on a journey whose end and date of return keep been delayed due to all the unforeseen things that happen to them . the journey they ' re on gets stranger and stranger , with constant changes of landscape and pace , and with fantasy and lots of humour . a search for a place that ' s impossible yet eternal , a place they keep on leaving behind .

) is a film about discipline and the stranger sides of sexuality , all set against the allegorical backdrop of a strict private school during the dying days of the argentine military dictatorship .

maria ( julieta zylberberg ) is the latest recruit to the classroom assistant team , and the film opens with her at the head of a column of children who march , madeline - like , down a creaky dingy corridor . like many of the other scenes in the film , this has an overtly military overtone , and in spite of the social changes against the regime which might be happening outside , the authorities of this school are eager to maintain power in this closed community .

“what happens when you win a war is the eradication of the pockets of resistance which are left . ”

“the history of the school and the history of the country go hand in hand . ”

and so we are then entitled to interpret the happenings in the school as symbols of the greater political narrative . though i don’t think the film needs to be seen in this way . maria’s perverted sexual awakening is a story in itself and the director , diego lerman , only allows the outside events to fully intrude during the credits when real footage is shown from a nationalist rally about the falklands / malvinas conflict .

one really clever and unique device is that the director plays tricks on us with smells . at first we think that the eager maria is leaning in to detect cigarette smoke in the boys’ hair . this changes when we see her buying aftershave to secretly sniff in her bedroom . the scenes where maria lingers spying in a boy’s toilet cubicle become weirder and weirder . we can almost smell the damp , amongst other more pungent things , and become more and more unsettled , disgusted and confused by her behaviour .

what the film does especially well is probe dark and uncomfortable moral areas in a similar vein to the work of pablo larraín and michael haneke ( specifically post mortem and the piano teacher respectively ) . their films have little dialogue and rely on the viewer to do much of the work . quirky events turn more and more sinister until a horrifically brutal ending forces you to think back over the story to find the character’s motivation .

however , you don’t always feel that the scale of the graphic scenes in these films is justified , and sometimes you wonder if they are pointlessly extreme or just plain gratuitous . but perhaps suspension of at least some disbelief is needed with all stories , especially the dark and creepy ones , to stop us from being genuinely disgusted or outright offended .

maria’s problem was probably a kind of naivety . perhaps she was a little over - mothered by the two generations of women she lived with :

or maybe she was deeply affected by the absence of her father . someone who the family simply don’t talk about . it is left open as to why , and could equally be a family problem , or taking the film as an allegory , a political one .

sounds and colours began its life in 2010 . back then it was a simple blog looking at underground culture in south america . since then it has become one of the world ' s # 1 sources for information on the topic , printing specialist books as well as maintaining this website , with collaborators based around the world . find out more about sounds and colours here .

book and cd offering an alternative guide to argentine culture , focusing on marginalised movements and underground scenes .

a weekend before leaving for on concert tour around latin america , gardel and lepera decide to take a break and chill in the house in the company of beautiful girls , good liqueur and tango records .

a strange virus is spreading . since the state of emergency was decreed in the country , a young couple comes to the house to take shelter . the woman is pregnant with her first child and paranoid about the contagion . as soon as the couple settles , her sitster arrives and a love affair takes place… the apocalyptic and betrayal atmosphere couldn’t be edgier… when the last occupant arrives : the mother of the two , who starts to show weird health symptoms .

lucio is a lonely man who lost his beloved wife many years ago . one night he spots a strange flashlight and suddenly a appears a spectre that resembles his wife . the neighbors gather to eliminate these creatures that haunt the area . but lucio prefers to hide her , even thought he can’t avoid the threaht that represents her presence .

it’s ironic that in this road movie , it’s a domestic space that offers the most possibilities for personal and interpersonal transformation .

collapse onto your couch and turn on your tv after a long day at work and you’re greeted with ads demanding that you get off your ass and do something spontaneous . call in sick tomorrow and go to seaworld ! buy a harley and join tim allen on the open road !

marcia ( tatiana saphir ) , the main character in the surprising and imaginative suddenly , is just the sort of person these advertisements are aimed at . she’s a lonely , heavyset shop girl who eats dinner alone while watching cooking shows and whose idea of a whim is buying a pair of sunglasses during her lunch break . when marcia’s claustrophobic routine is shattered , it won’t be at the behest of a marketing campaign , however , but at the point of a switchblade wielded by a woman named mao ( carla crespo ) .

as mao and her partner , lenin ( veronica hassan ) , sweep marcia off the streets of buenos aires and drive off into argentina’s flatlands , suddenly takes up the familiar call for spontaneity and makes it profound , imperative , and political . like its punk - rock kidnappers , the film is , in its own twisted way , deeply and sincerely compassionate . although marcia is terrified when mao first crudely propositions her , it becomes apparent that being swept away is the condition of her freedom . “you clearly have fantasies , ” a blank - faced lenin tells marcia , who doesn’t disagree .

suddenly owes much to early ' 60s godard . in his directorial debut , diego lerman shoots in grainy , high - contrast black and white ; the effect is startling , if sometimes visually obscure , in the age of digital video . like godard , lerman likes to move but will take time out for a shot of rain hitting a windshield or a dog running on a beach . less like godard , lerman uses small movements of eyes and facial muscles , rather than dialogue , to convey meaning : a quick glance establishes dominance ; a downturned mouth tightening into a horizontal smile suggests a flowering of self respect .

shares godard’s impatience with bourgeois convention and antipathy towards the deadening effects of workaday life . early in the film , mao , lenin , and marcia sit down to smoke in a burger king . a cheerful employee , whom we first see in profile next to her employee of the month plaque , comes over to ask them to put out their cigarettes . mao and lenin ignore her . “i hate these people , ” says lenin , when the worker leaves . it’s not the usual contempt with which people treat uniformed service workers – it’s harsher . the person who agrees to become a smiling automaton eight hours a day occupies a particularly debased spot in mao and lenin’s world .

marcia defends the employee of the month . “what makes you think she’s different from me ? ” she asks mao . “have you ever had a job ? ” in fact , as we saw earlier , mao and lenin make their money by stealing and reselling mopeds , while marcia sweeps , invoices , and stares into space at the lingerie shop where she works . at this point , suddenly risks slipping into a glorification of “lifestyle” anti - capitalism couched in a godardian cliché : the moped thief as ultimate anti - bourgeois heroine . thankfully , the movie is too good and too complex for that .

while trying to make their way back to buenos aires from the coast , the trio ends up at the door of lenin’s aged aunt blanca . blanca , played wonderfully by the late beatriz thibaudin , brings the movie down to earth at the same time she opens it up , just as mao and lenin opened up the movie earlier . tolerant and generous , blanca is an example of a life that is rooted but open to everyday meanderings . she keeps a chicken coop , and when she takes lenin along to sell a few eggs to her neighbor , the neighborly visit turns into an afternoon of dog bites and drinking songs . we see lenin smile for the first time .

blanca’s is a life that feels , to use a tricky word , " authentic " ; miles away from both the employee of the month and from mao . it is in blanca’s house , also populated by an artist ( maría merlino ) and a student ( marcos ferrante ) renting rooms there , that the relational dynamics between the three girls shift in surprising and affecting ways . it’s ironic that in this road movie , it’s a domestic space that offers the most possibilities for personal and interpersonal transformation .

the dvd extras are sparse : a director’s bio , a collection of stills , and some trailers . the bio does include a telling quote from lerman , however . the director says that it’s important to “create a world… [ where ] anything can happen at anytime . ” it’s an interesting suggestion that a fully lived life is not only an individual imperative , but also a social one .

but after watching suddenly , one feels the need for a rear - guard defense , rather than a utopian building project . in argentina , as in many places in the world , free time , time spent not working , is under attack . and it’s time , more than anything else , that made blanca’s rich life possible . trips to seaworld are all well and good , but a chicken coop and wide - open afternoons truly define freedom .

like many of the best comedies and tragedies , this weimar - era silent film understands how each mode is often a hair ' s breadth from the other .

it ' s a testament to zevin ' s understanding of multiple age groups that she ' s able to capture a variety of women at various life stages . her portrayals feel honest and true .

visual artist / silos frontman walter salas - humara preps new album , walterio , which speaks to his punk / roots origins .

jean - michel blais manages to transform simple motifs into weightless complex structures into ( as paul simon noted in a different context ) " angels in the architecture " .

osama is a compelling parable about female suffering and religious extremism under the taliban regime in afghanistan . featuring a cast of entirely non - professional actors , siddiq barmak ' s film is about a widow ( zubaida sahar ) who disguises her 12 - year - old daughter ( marina golbahari ) as a boy so that at least one family member can earn money . the child however is dispatched to an all - male taliban training school , where she ' s named osama and where her life depends on keeping her true identity disguised .

from the opening shots , barmak immerses us in the horrors of everyday life under the taliban , with burka - clad women who are protesting for the right to work being hosed down by watercannons and herded into trucks . kabul resembles a post - apocalyptic nightmare : shattered buildings billowing black smoke , hospitals without even the most basic of supplies , and a government that forbids women from working outside the home or from walking anywhere without the company of a male relative .

aided by golbahari ' s remarkably convincing lead performance , barmak generates considerable suspense over the fate of osama and her female relatives . he also demonstrates real talent for creating images which vividly convey their chilling story . rituals are shown to be both oppressive - the emphasis amongst the true believers on prayers and cleansing - and , in some cases , comforting ( such as the secret wedding ceremony , which is attended by women behind closed doors ) .

motifs of entrapment abound , whilst close - ups of shoes highlight the taliban ' s fanatical repression of femininity : a woman must cover not just her face with a burka but also her feet lest they prove sexually arousing . given that the taliban systematically banned films , including those of barmak himself , it ' s fitting that osama should provide such an unflinching denunciation of its nightmarish regime .
