ROLLERBALL (1975)

The first time I saw this was not in a cinema but in a sports hall. There was a showing of the movie and myself and some school mates got to see it one evening. It must have been a 16mm print.
Such a great film. Not just the Rollerball action but all the corporate decisions going on behind the scenes.

Great film and proves how great films where in the 70s that can still stand the test of time, eg here some other films that were released the same year.
Death race 2000 bit dated now tho
Monty Python Holy grail
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Jaws
Shampoo
Tommy
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show
French Connection II"
Picnic at hanging rock
Croneneberg debut shivers
And many others, 75 produce some great films in that year .

Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter (1984)



I'm so horny for Crispin Glover in this movie.
Also, I love that Jason's 'thing' is throwing people through windows. Oh the door is locked but if I throw a body through this window I can get in much easier.

Maximum Overdrive (1986)

Gave this a rewatch last night in anticipation of the new AC/DC album today given that they do all the music for it.

Hells Bells, this film, directed by Stephen King is the total opposite of his books. It's high voltage mayhem from the first minute to last with barely any room for character development, which means the movie actually becomes duller the more it goes on.

Emilio Estevez and Pat Hingle lead some riff raff holding out in a truck stop as various vehicles, mainly trucks, attempt to kill them, It practically feels like a precursor to The Mist except with trucks instead of creatures. Although the characters are weak it's fun to see Hingle with a bazooka, who at the flick of a switch sends rockets like heat seekers at the rampaging machines.

King himself remembers little about the experience apparently given he was coked up throughout filming. And it shows! Yet despite it's flaws Maximum Overdrive is fun. Crank it up and it'll certainly shake your foundations.

Stephen King a coke addict...never Wasn't he like that when he wrote Cujo and can't even remember writing it? Maximum Overdrive is another one of my guilty pleasures to view.

Would you not be needing something a bit more than that, ask Nos42 if he has any more booze in his stock pile.
