Earlier this year I watched Jonathan Demme's debut feature, the women-in-prison classic <b>Caged Heat</b> for the first time. Afterwards I went on imdb to read about the cast, to see what else they'd been in etc. It's what I normally do after watching a film, especially after something as awesome as Caged Heat. It really is one of the better WiP films, with a really great cast. Clicking through the names I was really surprised to see that many of the leads were already dead, despite the film being less than thirty years old. Juanita Brown died at the young age of 30 and Cheryl 'Rainbeaux' Smith only made it to 47. Ella Reid died at the age of 55. Even the legendary Roberta Collins passed away relatively early at the age of 63.
<p>
But, it was Cheryl 'Rainbeaux' Smith's death that really resonated with me, I guess because she always looked so sweet and innocent on screen...in every film I'd ever seen her in anyway...a bit of a goofball with a sparkle in her eyes. So, I googled her name and started looking into what happened to that little blonde girl who never seemed to get any older.

<p>
There's a not a huge amount of information available about Rainbeaux, but much of what there is has been collected on her "official" website <a href="http://rainbeauxsmith.net">http://rainbeauxsmith.net</a>. This is mainly a text-based site, featuring a collection of pieces from friends, fans and acquaintances, along with a few photos, links etc. I'm not going to go into detail about her life. All I know I read on that website, so if you're curious I suggest you do the same. What's immediately clear is that hers is not a happy story. In short...after starting to make a bit of a name for herself in the mid to late 70's something went wrong. She fell in with the wrong crowd, disappeared from the movie world and spent much of the 80's and 90's battling a heroin addiction, going in and out of rehab/prison and sometimes resorting to prostitution or shoplifting just to keep going, eventually losing her battle with liver disease and hepatitis.
<p>
Looking back at her movies, it's difficult to imagine Cheryl that way. From the creepy and strange <b>Lemora: A Child's Tale Of The Supernatural</b> in 1973 to the erotic musical version of <b>Cinderella</b> in 1977 she always came across as so innocent and so...I don't know...proper? And that's even even true in her slightly raunchier films.

Last night I watched <b>Revenge Of The Cheerleaders (1976)</b>. Allegedly, when Cheryl was approached for the role by director Richard Lerner, she informed him that she was pregnant and as such probably not suitable for the role of a high school cheerleader. But, instead of moving on to the next pretty girl in line Lerner was determined to have her in his film and rewrote the script to feature a heavily pregnant cheerleader. I guess if Rainbeaux Smith wanted to be in your movie you made sure there was a part for her. As a result she spends most of the film in the background, looking slightly uncomfortable and out-of-place in a cheerleader's outfit with her pregnant belly. As she described the experience herself: <i>"Here are these beautiful girls with all this energy and me waddlin' 'round like a fat duck"</i>

This didn't mean she had a bad experience making the film. It was her favourite of her cheerleader movies. She made <b>The Pom Pom Girls</b> that same year and a couple of years earlier she had made <b>The Swinging Cheerleaders</b>, another raunchy addition to the genre and something she said she would rather forget.

One of the last films she did was Gary Sherman's incredible <b>Vice Squad (1982)</b>, where she has a small speaking part and is credited simply as White Prostitute.

She has thirty acting credits on her imdb page, some of which saw her venture into mainstream territory. She was in two of the Cheech & Chong movies (<b>Up In Smoke (1978)</b> and <b>Nice Dreams (1981)</b> and also in Robert Aldrich's <b>The Choirboys (1977)</b>.
<p>
I haven't seen all of her films, but there is always something special about her. She's just instantly likeable and always really fun to watch. Watch any of the ones mentioned above and you'll see what I mean.
<p>
Cheryl's star shines on and many of her films have gathered a cult following. Quentin Tarantino is a big fan and rightly so. She was an extremely charming and talented actress, who just happened to make some bad decisions. It's so easily done.

I'd been meaning to watch this for a while, but just never got round to it. I knew it was meant to be extremely bleak and I guess you just need to be in the right mood for that kind of thing.
<p>
Elizabeth 'Liz' Wetherly is a professional singer. With some time to spare before her next engagement, she decides to take a bit of road trip, get some space and just escape from it all.

Unfortunately, her car breaks down in a hick town in the middle of nowhere. She tries to get some help in a small diner/bar/guest house. This is where she meets Eddie, a wannabe country and western singer, with a slight resemblance to Elvis. He lives there with the owner/his mistress Bertha and the gentle giant Keno. I'm not quite sure what Keno is meant to be, some sort of caretaker perhaps?

Liz just wants some privacy while she's waiting for her car to get fixed, but Eddie has other plans. He becomes convinced that Liz has eyes for him and eventually he forces himself on her. She tries to report the rape to the local sheriff, but he is every bit as bad as Eddie.
<p>
It's a dark film, both in subject matter and in the way it is filmed. With no way out and no chance of help from any of the locals, Liz's only option is to 'play along', take the repeated abuse and wait for an opportunity to take her revenge.

<b>Poor Pretty Eddie</b> is violent, surreal and very sleazy. It's interesting up to a point, as it at least tries to do something slightly different with an often used formula, but it's not a great film by any means. Many of the scenes are in truly bad taste and difficult to watch (rape scene inter-cut with random shots of dogs mating and children giggling anyone?). The whole thing is saved by a solid cast, who all do pretty well with what is at best an ok script. I guess you're not supposed to 'like' a film like this...it's definitely an odd one, worth watching if you like your redneck-revenge-sleze....which it certainly delivers. And there's that legendary ending...which is every bit as surreal as it is violent.
<p>
As many of these films it did the grindhouse/drive-in circuit for many years and kept getting rereleased under a variety of titles. Here's a selection.

<p>
But, wow...I can't remember the last time I saw so many awesome bands in such a short space of time.
<p>
On Saturday I headed down to Brixton for the first day of The Oddbox Weekender. It was a great line-up, but I only stuck around for <b>Fever Dream</b> and <b>Humousexual</b>. They were both great!

I left Brixton early to go home and drop off my own gear (I had been playing as well, you see). Then I headed over to Power Lunches in Dalston, where <b>Trash Kit</b> were playing a rare show. I love their album ALOT, but had never seen them live, so it was something I really didn't want to miss.

<p>
I've been without my proper camera for a month now, so apologies for all these terrible phone pictures. Somewhere in that red blur is a hazy outline of Trash Kit's drummer.
<p>
On Saturday it was time to do some Camden Crawling. I'd never been before and it always looked a bit horrible...but a friend was playing as part of a Fence Collective showcase, so I headed over to the Earl of Camden on Parkway. I managed to catch a glimpse of <b>Rozi Plain</b>, who was joined on stage by members of <b>Francois & The Atlas Mountains</b> and it was all very pleasant indeed.

<p>
Then it was time for <b>The Pictish Trail</b> to turn up the noise levels a notch and they were great....really good fun! It wasn't the best of venues or time slots, but they managed to pull it off.
<p>

<p>
Back on the tube to Islington and the Buffalo Bar for the second day of the Odd Box Weekender. We got there in time for <b>The Middle Ones</b>, who were absolutely brilliant as usual.
<p>
Then it was time for <b>Martha</b>, a pop-punk quartet from Durham, whose EP I've been listening to rather obsessively for the past month or so. Really, these guys are soooooo good. Great songs, great lyrics, really tight and just really nice people (which is always a bonus). They have an EP out and you cen listen to it below! And then...buy it! NOW!

Finally, when I thought I couldn't handle any more music, it was time for <b>Standard Fare</b>. Those guys just keep getting better and better, which is quite incredible considering that they have been brilliant since the very beginning.

It's not really the kind of venue I feel comfortable in and definitely not one suited for that type of music. The bouncers threw out the first crowd-surfing kid before the first song had even finished.
<p>
We finished off the night at some Camden Crawl closing party at The Cuban Bar. It was all kinds of awful. We should have gone home.
<p>
That's all really.

It was a beautiful day, which was extra exciting since I was shooting it all on super-8.
<p>
We had a basic idea, but I wanted to keep it relatively loose. There's a fine line between being too organised and being too unprepared. I always feel it works best if you keep things a bit shambolic and just try to have fun. People enjoying themselves are so much more fun to watch than people deperately trying to look cool. And it's a music video. It doesn't have to make sense. So what if there's an accidental jump cut here and there. This happens more frequently when you're using super-8, especially if you don't have a shot list and don't write down what you've already shot.

A few hours later it was all done. Then the only thing you can do is wait. That's the horrible part, just waiting for two weeks. What if nothing comes out? What if there's something stuck in the camera gate?
<p>
Eventually, I got the film back and could relax. No problems, just beautifully saturated super-8.
<p>
You just can't beat super-8 on a sunny day. There's nothing quite like it.

<p>
<b>Bare Behind Bars</b> is possibly one of the most insane Women-in-Prison movies I've encountered. It's just completely bonkers. Set in a Brazilian women's prison, we follow a number of inmates as they go about their daily business. This mainly involves having sex with other inmates or the prison staff or just anyone that happens to be available…oh and they take a lot of showers. There's not really any plot at all, apart from some sort of rivalry between inmates, resulting in some unfortunate stabbings. And eventually, when the inmates have had enough of the bizarre and sadistic treatment from the staff, they attempt an escape. The prison warden is a sex-obsessed lesbian, the prison nurse is an ether-sniffing loon bag (also sex-obsessed of course) who likes to eat watermelon in the nude.

With heaps of nudity and sex scenes that occasionally slips into hardcore territory, Bare Behind Bars is definitely not for everyone. But, it really is a weird one. The bizarre and completely over-the-top behaviour of some of the characters makes it difficult to take any of more horrible elements too seriously. The prison nurse is so loopy she wouldn't feel out of place in a Benny Hill clip. When she finally gets dismissed, her main concern is not being allowed to wear her nurse's hat again.
<p>
Bare Behind Bars is a completely mind-boggling experience.

The film is available uncut from <a href="http://www.blue-underground.com">Blue Underground</a> on Region 1 DVD. It is available in the UK from <a href="http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/">Arrow Films</a>, but this version of the film has had the hardcore snippets removed by the easily offended peeps at the BBFC (<a href="http://www.bbfc.co.uk/BVV110899/">Details here</a>).Nikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14373905407451690022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044212861340943547.post-9595622728565790892012-04-25T13:41:00.000+01:002012-04-25T13:41:38.689+01:00Don't Deliver Us From Evil (1971)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Anne and Lore are best friends, two teenage girls at an all-girl Catholic boarding school. They realise that sinning is a lot more fun than being good, so they decide to devote themselves to Satan instead of God. All good so far, right? Unfortunately, these girls aren't just naughty in a fun way, they're downright mean. We follow them over the course of a summer holiday where they get up to no good. They play seduction games with local simpletons, kill some pet birds and indulge in a bit of arson...until one day when it all goes horribly wrong.

<p>
<b>Don't Deliver Us From Evil</b> is a curious one, a coming-of-age film without the feelgood factor. The devotion to sin and Satan might have started as an innocent act of rebellion, a game of sorts, but when you're just making the rules up as you go along, where does the game end? This is what Anne and Lore have to figure out. They kill one bird and think it's hilarious when its owner starts crying out of grief, but when Anne kills a second bird, she breaks down with guilt. Then there's their interest in sex. They're obsessed with it and constantly crave sexual attention, but neither of them are ready for it or know what to do with it.
<p>
The Catholic Church weren't too keen (probably still aren't) on the film and it's not difficult to see why.

I don't want to give away too much about this film, cause it's really worth seeing, shocking and tender in equal measures.
<p>
It's beautifully shot and Jeanne Goupil and Catherine Wagener are both excellent as the two friends, managing the tricky task of being good, bad, sexy, silly and hideously annoying often at the same time.

With all the young flesh on display the film was obviously made for a male audience. However, all the men in the film are portrayed as weak-minded, incompetent or just blind to what's going on around them. I don't know if it was intentional, but it sure seems like director Joel Seria is taking the piss out of his own audience, telling us "go on, watch these young girls prancing around in their underwear, while I tell you how weak and how easy to manipulate you are".
<p>
Anyway. It's a good'un.

I'm a bit sad that <b>Shockwaves</b> isn't more awesome. It's the kind of film that would be fun to recommend in a "you have to see this underwater nazi zombie film!" kinda way. Seriuosly, underwater nazi zombies! How can that be bad? Well, it isn't that bad, but it just isn't that exciting either. Don't get me wrong...the army of underwater Nazi zombies (I can't stop typing that sentence) are awesome and all the scenes where they feature are pretty damn cool. The problem is the rest of the film, which is mainly filler.
<p>
But those underwater nazi zombies...look at them!

The background story is something along the lines of...towards the end of the second World War, the Nazis had created some amazing SS troops that were able to live underwater. This amphibian specialist SS unit turned out to be a bit unpredictable and when the war ended it was all swept under the carpet...or under the ocean in this case. And the secret stayed there for thirty years until our gang of merry holiday makers interrupt their sleep. They have to abandon their leaking boat and get stranded on a remote island, populated only by a former SS Commander (played by Peter Cushing).

He tells them to get out of there before the shit goes down. But it's already too late and the underwater Nazis start picking them off one after the other. The nazis themselves are pretty hard to kill, unless you can get really close and take their goggles off. Yup. That's how you kill unstoppable underwater nazi zombies. Remove the goggles!
<p>
Shockwaves is alright as a curiosity and it has some really awesome scenes in it. But, the script is pretty lame and not really anything I'll be revisiting any time soon.

The song is <i>Gift Of The Magi 2: Return Of The Magi</i> and it's from their last album <i>Knife Man</i> which was out at some point last year. It's a simple idea, but it works really well and it's just fun to watch. And the song is ace!

I know for sure I've seen at least 51 of the titles listed and watched bits of at least another 30. Sure, there are loads of great films on there and it's nice to see the inclusion of some forgotten classics like <b>Let's Scare Jessica To Death</b>...but...with any list comes omissions and with the horror genre being so close to my heart, there are a lot of them in this one.
<p>
Here's a random list of 30 horror films (big and small, old and new) not included in the Time Out top-100 that I would defintely place in my own top-100, many of them in my top-50 even.

As soon as I found out there was a film called <b>Computer Beach Party</b> I was sold. I just love depictions of computer usage in 80's movies...and being generally fond of crap 80's college comedies this should be a winner, right? Hmmmm...well, not quite. Although the computer bits are pretty awesome, as are the party scenes, the main part of this film is still a mess. A relatively charming mess perhaps, but still a mess.

<p>
There is a vague attempt at a coherent story line in there somewhere...
<p>
Dennis and Andy are two young friends who spend most of their days hanging out on the beach 'skurfing' (racing their little weird beach buggies). They find out that the mayor of the town wants to buy and annex the part of the beach they use and they immediately sense something fishy going on. Then one day they find a gold coin in the sand. Maybe that legend about the old buried treasure is true and that's why the rotten mayor wants their beach? Maybe. Andy manages to fall in love with Allison, the mayor's daughter, and woos her with his impressive computer set-up. And he's got some serious techie skills.

<p>
Yeah, that's right! Horoscopes on a computer!
<p>
Of course party-planning involves more computer wizardry. He hacks into some party planning tool and after a few clicks where the word 'sex' flashes up at random he gets the message: <i>'Your V.I.P. party has been activated'</i>. How awesome is that? Pretty awesome.
<p>
The actual party is also pretty damn awesome. There's even a glam metal band playing live and everything.
<p>
Erm...I'm not sure if it gets hard to follow here or if I just lost interest. The mayor has put up loads of lifeguard stands on the beach, which Andy and Dennis destroy. Andy starts to suspect that Allison is in on her dad's evil plans. Then there's also a stupid cop who keeps chasing after a car that looks like a chicken.

<p>Hmmm. Yes. In the end everything works out just swell for everyone. There is no treasure, so Andy and Dennis can keep doing their thing...and Dennis beats Turk, the mayor's goon, at skurfing.
<p>
There's also a random title card towards the end when the mayor find out that Andy and Dennis know about his plans.

<p>
I'm not sure if they just forgot to shoot that scene or if they just thought it would be hilarious.
<p>
Computer Beach Party is one of those films...it is absolutely terrible, there is no doubt about that...but at the same time it definitely has a certain charm to it. It does drag on and its 97 minute running time feels like forever, but I did manage to sit through it all. But then it's not really a film you should watch on your own on a Tuesday night. Add a bunch of friends and a few beers into the equation and Computer Beach Party might just be perfect film. Actually, make that a lot of beer. If you drink enough the poorly dubbed dialogue might actually slide into sync.
<p>
And here's the glorious trailer...not original, but cut together by the folks at The Found Footage Festival, who apparently screened this film a few years back.

It's an absolutely terrible film and I kind of enjoyed watching it, but I would never call it good in any way, shape or form. Let's call it <i>so bad that it's just really bad but kinda fun but mainly bad
</i>. Catchy description, eh?

The film starts with a young girl running away from home because, as she puts it <i>"my step father tried to rape me and he's a werewolf"</i>. I mean, what else can I say? Do you need anything more than that?

The "story" goes something along the way of...back in the 19th Century, some <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thylacine">thylacines</a> mated with humans, resulting in some weird wolf/tiger/human hybrids. When the thylacines were killed off and made extinct in the early 20th Century, these 'werewolves' went underground, hiding in the Australian bush or in Siberia. Now, in the present, suddenly they're making themselves known. The army is called in, as are various scientists. Our young runaway, becomes a horror movie star, falls in love and has werewolf babies. No, seriously...I can't do this. Just thinking about this mess makes my head hurt. Just watch it...I guess.

<p>
That's just one of many pseudo-philosphical one-liners you get treated to in <b>Swamp Thing</b>, Wes Craven's attempt at adapting a DC Comic for the big screen. I know nothing about this comic, or comics in general, so I have no idea if it's a successful/truthful adaptation - all I know is that the film is an absolute blast.

I had pretty much given up on Wes Craven after <b>Scream 4</b>, which was one of the most atrocious piles of shit I have ever forced myself to sit through in the cinema. But, when the good folks at The Good Bad Movie Club announced that they were going to screen Swamp Thing at The Prince Charles...well...I decided to give the man another chance.
<p>
And I'm really glad I did. In fact, I might even watch that copy of Craven's <b>Deadly Blessing (1981)</b> I bought from Arrow Video a while back. It's been collecting collecting dust in fear of a repeat Scream 4 experience.
<p>
Anyway, Swamp Thing...a proper so bad it's amazing kinda film. An absolute top cast, with Ray Wise (you know, Leland Palmer in <b>Twin Peaks</b> amongst other things), Nicholas Worth (who was amazing in <b>Don't Answer The Phone (1980)</b>), David Hess (of <b>The Last House on The Left (1972)</b> and <b>The House On The Edge Of The Park (1980)</b> fame)...and then Adrienne Barbeau, who's been in a shitload of things, including <b>Cannibal Women In The Avocado Jungle Of Death (1989)</b>.

The film is cheesy, but extremely charming and fun. Wise plays Doctor Holland, a scientist working on a secret project hidden away in a swamp. His goal, to create a combination of animal and plant capable of thriving under the harshest of conditions. So, yeah...his intentions are good, but just around the corner lurks evil...in the shape of Dr Anton Arcane, an evil scientist (actually, I'm not quite sure what he is) who wants to rule the world. He and his militia goons attempt to steal Holland's notebooks and the potion but it all goes a bit wrong. Holland turns into a half-man, half-swamp creature with super human strength and Alice (Barbeau) runs off with notebook number 7, containing the last piece of the puzzle. What follows is a cat and mouse chase through the swamp, where Arcane's goons try over and over again to get their hands on the book, only to be stopped by Holland (now the Swamp Thing!) Alice goes from being scared of Swampie to falling for his charms after realising that he's still Dr Holland at heart. It's all very stupid, but surprisingly sweet and never gets boring. It's really well-paced throughout.

A great film to watch with some friends and some beers. Louis Jordan really steals the show as the loon bag Arcane and the film is worth watching just to hear his hilarious, but often completely nonsensical one-liners.
<p>

<p>
Erm...yes.
<p>
So, give Swamp Thing a chance...you won't regret it.
<p>
Last night the guys at The Good Bad Movie Club had managed to locate a pristine 35mm print of the film and it really looked gorgeous. Normally when you're watching old prints scratches are part of the charm, but seeing a scratch-free 30-year old print was pretty awesome.

I do find Franco fascinating and I know he has made some amazing films (<b>99 Women</b> and <b>Eugenie</b> to name two of my personal favorites). It is just so hard to find the good ones amongst all the crap...and the man has made alot of crap. Yesterday I looked up all the titles in the boxset om imdb to find the one with the highest user score. Not that a high imdb scores mean that much, but at least it provides some sort of indication (score was 5.8/10 from 420+ user by the way) on whether something is completely unwatchable. The highest rated film in the box was <b>Love Letters Of A Portuguese Nun</b>.
<p>

The 80 minute running time felt like forever. A young girl, Maria, is innocently messing around with her boyfriend in the woods. They're caught by a priest, who convinces the Maria's mother to give away all her savings and send her off to a convent so that her soul can be saved. Of course the priest is a dirty bastard and so is the head nun, but not only that. They're also satanists and want to use Maria in their ceremonies. Maria isn't being very cooperative and she is eventually sentenced to be burned at the stake (it's set back in those days). Awaiting her execution, she writes a letter to God and he hears her prayer. Well, a Prince that happens to ride by finds the letter and stops the execution.
<p>
Unfortunately, no amount of sexy nuns could change the fact that this film is boring, boring, boooooring.
<p>
If this is the highest rated film in the boxset, I'm not sure I want to watch any of the others.
<p>
Could someone please recommend some good Franco, before I give up on the man completely.Nikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14373905407451690022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044212861340943547.post-87326319738358020812012-03-21T11:46:00.001+00:002012-04-05T13:54:23.786+01:00An old favorite - The Gods Must Be Crazy III (1991)I don't really know/understand what's up with all these old classics being available in their entirety on youtube. It seems to be a recent thing. But, I guess we shouldn't complain...and take advantage of it while it lasts.
<p>
The one I found today is one my all-time favorites, a film that is incredibly stupid and crap in every possible way, yet utterly awesome. Yup, it's pretty impossible to dislike <b>The Gods Must Be Crazy III (aka Crazy Safari)</b>.
<p>
Here it is...enjoy!

<b>Terminal Island (1973)</b><br />
<b>Directed by:</b> Stephanie Rothman<br />
<b>Starring:</b> Don Marshall, Phyllis Davis, Ena Hartman and Tom Selleck
<p>
So, this one was interesting. An island "prison" film made by a female director. I'd never actually heard of Stephanie Rothman, but a quick glance at her imdb page told me she was the first female to be given a Directors Guild of America fellowship and the she credits Roger Corman as her only mentor. Not surprising then that her filmography is made up of titles like <i>The Working Girls, The Student Nurses, It's a Bikini World</i> and <i>Blood Bath.
</i>
<p>
Anyway, I did really enjoy this one. Set in the near future, where the state of California have abolished the death penalty. Instead, convicted murderers (male and female) are sent to Terminal Island, a small island 40 miles off the coast, surrounded by electronic mines, where they are dumped and left to fend for themselves. No guards, no nothing...just an island of murderers trying to survive.

She's asked to sign her name to show that she understands the situation. "I've never heard of a corpse signing its name", she replies cooly. Oh yeah, Carmen is a tough cookie indeed.

She takes a stroll around the beach to check out her new home. Corpses line the beach as the opening song of the soundtrack tells us that "forever is a damn long time" (<i>It's Too Damn Bad</i> by Jeff Thomas).

And so...we're introduced to the first of her fellow islanders, Dr Milford. Recognise that face? It's Magnum PI himself, Tom Selleck!
<p>
She's given the lowdown on the situation. People die all the time on this island. The number of prisoners is around 40, down from 75 when Milford arrived.

Carmen survives the first night and goes exploring. She soon finds the "village" where most of the islanders are living...and they're expecting her.

Although the others are not showing it yet, this attitude is clearly needed. They all need to stand up to this shit.

<i>"OK, cows. You can rest"

<p>
Erm...yes...so, it's all pretty nightmarish. The men are all complete assholes, fighting over the smallest things. The women are used both as slaves and reward. And then there's Dr Milford. The only one who seems like a nice guy, but he's also a junkie and you get the idea that the only reason he's alive is because of his doctor skills. He tries to bandage Carmen's hands, but Monk isn't having any of it.
<p>

He certainly has a way with words.

Later on, after a hard day of gruelling work, Carmen is having a bit of a wash...

And now it's getting interesting. The ladies seem to get on a bit better. We find out that there's a "rebel group", a bunch of former villagers who were kicked out some time ago. Bobby's minions are under strict orders to kill these traitors on sight.
<p>
Our ladies are doing some washing, under the watchful eyes of Dr Milford and others.

Our ladies and Milford excape together with the new gang. But, are they any better? I guess we'll see.

It starts off well, with Joy (who you might remember from my previous entry in this series, Sweet Sugar) immediately starting to flirt with one of the guys.

There you go. I really enjoyed this one. It was a bit different. Maybe it was because of the female at the helm, but it wasn't as heavily reliant on nudity and/or violence as women-in-prison movies tend to be.

Oh yes! Seriously...<b>Chopping Mall</b> is just awesome...and is pretty much the definition of a true 80's classic. It has everything you want...EVERYTHING! Robots shooting laser, exploding heads, computers with square flashing lights, nudity, terrible clothes, ridiculous haircuts, big guns, electrocutions...it's all there....and more...the list goes on.
<p>
Some fancy-pants shopping mall have just introduced a new automated security team, the Protectors (No's 1, 2 and 3), three ultramodern security robots, programmed to protect the mall from intruders after hours. It should have been so easy. The robots were meant to be able to distinguish between baddies and good guys just by asking to see an identity badge...but somewhere it just went horribly wrong. I guess it's difficult to precise programming when your computer just has a few rows of flashing square lights.

Anyway, a group of young mall employees are taking advantage of their keyholding responsibilities by having an after hours party at The Furniture King, one of the shops. They do what teenagers do in these kind of movies...get drunk, fool around, strut around in their underwear etc. And then...BOOM! the robots go crazy and start killing them off one by one. They have to take full advantage of what the mall has to offer and find the tools to outsmart those robots. I like to think this is all intended to be some some powerful satirical comment of American consumerism a la Romero's Dawn Of The Dead, but I doubt it...I think it's pretty much just robots killing kids and the kids fighting back.

<p>
It's a music video I made back in January this year for The Wave Pictures. The song is Eskimo Kiss and it's from their upcoming album <b>Long Black Cars</b>, which should be out sometime soon-ish.

It was shot on super-8 negative film over a few hours one afternoon on Hampstead Heath in North London. The 'concept' was basically an adaptation of an old idea for a video, that I wanted to do for my own band...and then wanted to do for another band...and eventually ended up suggesting for this one. The original idea involved ninjas dancing with shopping trolleys, then it became brides pushing band members around in shopping trolleys and finally became people in animal masks pushing Jonny arond in a wheelbarrow. Not quite as exciting as ninjas and/or brides, but still...it worked out pretty well.
<p>
One mistake I always do with super-8 is that I can't keep the camera still and keep moving it around too much...and then you get those annoying horizontal lines.
<p>
But, but...here it is.

After a failed bank robbery, leader Eddie realises something. It's always human errors that messes things up for him. His plans are always perfect...apart from that human element, which he can't control to a 100%.
<p>
What to do? He considers robots (please let there be a sequel involving robots), but that seems a bit too complicated. I suppose, it's 1972 after all.
<p>
But, one day...he realises! Dogs! Vicious dogs trained to rob a bank!
<p>
DOGS!

ROBBING A BANK!

Add a kick-ass and completely insane soundtrack and you have the best damn dog heist film I've ever seen.
<p>
It seems to be unavailable on DVD at the moment. But, the internet is your friend.
<p>
In fact, the whole film seems to be available on youtube at the moment
