Pieces

I saw 1, but haven't seen 2 or 3, pretty sure. What do they do in Part 2?

I saw that about a year ago. Fairly original psych drama. Welcome back, Bama!

TOO HOT TO HANDLE (1976). Extremely sleazy Cheri Caffaro vehicle where CC is an assassin named Samantha Fox (also the names of a XXX actress and an English Singer/Page 3 girl) who in-between jobs, finds time to romance Detective investigating the case. She made a lot of these kinds of films throughout the 70's, particularly the even more lurid GINGER series. Lots of nudity (the first love scene between her and the detective was VERY much an eye opener at 16) and plenty of social no-nos. What strikes me as kind of odd is Don Schain, who wrote and directed all of Cheri's films was married to her::shocked::. **1/2

FIRE AND ICE 1983

Animated

Basically a young warrior tries to save the Princess of Fire from the Kingdom of Ice. I liked it.

Chopping Mall

One of my faves. I see these robots all the time in the grocer and want to push them over. ::danger::

Do It!!!!!!


SUMMER CAMP NIGHTMARE 1987

A summer camp is turned all "Lord of the Flies" after the camp director is accused of molesting a camper.

SOLE SURVIVOR 1984

A young woman survives a plane crash in which everyone else was killed. Not quite like Final Destination but it does catch up with her in an unexpected way. Really enjoyed it.

CHRISTINE (1983). Decent John Carpenter adaptation of King's novel about a social outcast who buys a beat up automobile and how change comes about, and not always for the good. I like this, but it has a kind of hesitation throughout; I believe this was JC's first film after the box office flop of THE THING and it feels tentative throughout. Still worth viewing with good turns by Keith Gordon (JAWS 2, DRESSED TO KILL and directing many episodes of DEXTER) and Robert Blossoms (DERANGED, HOME ALONE) along with an early performance by Kelly Preston. ***

I thought Carpenter did a great job with this film, especially the special effects. There's a few clunky scenes, like where the 'bad kids', who look they are 45 years old, stick a switchblade into our hero's lunch bag. ::big grin::
