Streets of Fire

Summary: Ex-soldiers Tom Cody (Michael Paré) and McCoy (Amy Madigan) set out to rescue Cody's ex-girlfriend Ellen (Diane Lane) from a biker gang led by Raven Shaddock (Willem Dafoe).

Absorbing neon-noir tale with brash Diane Lane and middle finger to chronological consistency. Surprised at lack of wider queer readings.

Rating: 3.75/5

The Warriors (1979)

There’s much more to The Warriors than the iconic sound clip. You know, the one where David Patrick Kelly clinks bottles together and screeches “Warriors… come out tooo playyy-eyyy!”. It’s the kind of film that will make you wonder “what’s the big deal?”, until you realize it was made in 1979. Every decision regarding its characters, plot and style was a breakthrough at the time.

In the near future, criminal gangs who distinguish each other with distinct outfits, weapons or facepaint/masks have overrun the streets of New York. When Cyrus (Roger Hill), the leader of the Gramercy Riffs brings together nine unarmed representatives from every gang to propose a truce that would unite them all against the police, everyone seems on board. Then, Luther (Kelly), the sadistic leader of the Rogues assassinates him and pins the crime on the Warriors. Far from their turf, surrounded by enemies and without any weapons, it’ll be a long and dangerous trip home for them.

We’re reviewing the director’s cut, which is only marginally longer (76 seconds) but adds an introduction detailing the Battle of Cunaxa (which inspired the plot) and gives some of the scene transitions a comic book-like look. They’re necessary additions, but also not. When the picture was first released, it was called cartoonish, weird and implausible. These tweaks make it clear that we’re watching a tale set forward in time. Not a world where mankind has conquered the stars, but a dismal tomorrow where crime is rampant and gangs have adopted a version of war paint. Nearly every character in the film is a teenage male. Their criminal buddies – and make no mistake, these are criminals – are all they have. The only adults we see are police officers or civilians who barely escape the aimless youths. Parents are never mentioned or seen. Today, we’ve seen these ideas adapted and tweaked in multiple stories; everything from the villain-themed thugs in Batman Beyond to the sadistic masked killers in The Purge. It shows how influential this film is.

For the bulk of the picture, we’re following nine members of the Warriors. As their members dwindle, one character (played by Michael Beck) rises to become the protagonist. For the most part, you don’t get to know much of anyone’s backstory or even their names. The Warriors is about the immediacy of NOW. At any moment, the boys could take a wrong turn and die. You have no idea who could be next. Each moment of respite makes you feel uneasy. Who’s to say it isn’t a trap? Outgunned, and outnumbered, they have to bank on their wits to carry them through. If they can keep going long enough, the reputation they forge may be enough to get some of the small players to leave them alone out of fear. Even if they do make it home, however, this will only postpone their troubles. The entire city is still out for them and beyond that, they’re looking at bleak futures. There’s a key scene in which they come face-to-face with what could’ve been and it’s a devastating, sobering blow, a great moment you won’t forget.

Much of The Warriors is raw and unpolished, but that’s the way it should be. What cements it as a movie that will endure is its energy and the way it captures its themes and ideas. While it may have inspired others, there's nothing else quite like it. (On DVD, June 15, 2018)

Firestarter 2: Rekindled (2002)

In today's review, I find a good story's embers can last 22 years on. As I attempt a #positive review of the sequel miniseries Firestarter 2 Rekindled #MargueriteMoreau #SkyeMcColeBartusiak #MalcolmMcDowell #DennisHopper #DannyNucci #JohnDennisJohnston

Carrying on after a long time can be a daunting task, people change, ideas evolve, and generally, life does move on. However, if you’ve got an intriguing way to carry on a long-concluded story, and the resources to do so, what is stopping you? In 2002, a television network known for its cost-efficient but captivating sci-fi content branched off the concluding story of Firestarter into a…

King of the Mountain (1981)

My rating: 4/10

Much like the very bland, very overused Dangerous Strangers Song, this movie is neither as good nor as meaningful as its creators seem to think it is, instead being just kind of mediocre and, at times, quite boring.

'Mean Guns' – Ice-T's revenge on Prime Video

‘Mean Guns’ – Ice-T’s revenge on Prime Video

There’s not so much a story to Mean Guns (1997) as a premise. A mobster (Ice-T) calls dozens of associates to a newly built prison the day before it’s dedicated, locks them in, and pits them against one another. Direct-to-video stylist Albert Pyun sets this plotless gun crazy frenzy to the mambo beat of Prez Prado and runs with it. The last three survivor are promised to split a prize of $10…
