THE BIG RED ONE (1980) Grade: D

Hasn’t aged well. The acting for me was what hurt it the most. Felt miscast for the most part. Lee Marvin was typical Lee Marvin, the rest didn’t fit their characters.

Steven Spielbergs 1941 is...A doozy

I have seen the last of Spielbergs 70's output,the World War II comedy 1941.It is infamous for being Spielbergs first flop,though it has a cult fanbase......I understand both

WArning if you want to check out this film , this film contains racial slurs and a comedic subplot built aroun sexual assault

This 1979 film is about a town in California panicking due to thinking the Japanese while the actual Japanese plan to attack Hollywood....Hijinx ensue

So the film was written by Robert Zemekis ,and Spielberg directed it on a whim............You can feel both of those while watching ,cause I think

1.This film is more suited to Zemekis

2.You can tell this plane has no real engine

So I am frustrated by this film because I think it is a bad movie .....With moments of greatness .Comedy is so subjective ,but I can say ,I found the film really funny.I genuinely like movie where things escalate to a level of insanity and by god when this film goes off the wall I love it .The film also has a great cast as the film is a wacky ensamble piece ,there are so many I cant list them all : highlights are Christopher Lee as a Nazi (Getting to show off his impressive German ),Toshiro Mifune as the main villain ,Muarry Hamilton and Eddie Deezen being this odd double act ,Nancy Allen as a woman with a plane fetish ,Warren Oats as a crazy Colonel ,and my favorite Robert Stack as Major General Stillwell (I think the scenes where he is watching and crying to Dumbo are some of my favorite scenes in the film ).I also love the premise of showing the damage people can do when they are paranoid .Also the ending is really perfect

.......Heres the problems though

1.Theres a major subplot where Treat Williams plays this very r*pey soldier and while yes he is a bad guy ,it is still played for humor.PAired with the LARGE amount of slurs ,it can be uncomfortable and some viewers might want to skip this

2.I have no clue what they wanted Dan Akroyds character to be because he starts off as the inspirational character.....But then he just acts like a lunatic after getting hit on the head .

3.THis might upset some people but I dont think the film uses John Belushi well.He plays this crazy pilot ,and I wish the film either had less or more of him,because as is it doesnt feel like the film has enough

4.Theres to many characters and sadly very little center .The closest the film has to a hero is Bobby Di Cicco as Wally,but he is just such a non entity he gets lost in the shuffle

5.TOO MANY CHARACTERS AND IT FEELS LIKE A LOT OF THESE PERFROMERS ARE BEING WASTED

6.The pacing and length is attrocious,this should NOT Be two hours,its honestly my biggest complaint

7.I love most of the chaos,but it can get a lil grating after a while .Theres a lot of screaming in this film

I think this film does have an audience,but it is a mess .I definately laughed a lot ,but I cant say I reccomend it to everyone .If you like chaos on film,just love seeing these kind of large scale bonkers comedies ,I think it is worth a watch but go in knowing it is a MESS of a film

1941 (1979)

Steven Spielberg’s 1941 offers many laughs but lacks focus. There’s simply too many plot threads and characters. By the end, you’re exhausted and ultimately, it’s unmemorable.

On Saturday, December 13, 1941, a Japanese submarine surfaces near the California coast. While its crew searches for Hollywood, the story follows dishwasher Wally (Bobby Di Cicco), who wants to enter a dance contest so he can impress his crush Betty (Dianne Kay), United States Army Air Forces Captain Wild Bill Kelso (John Belushi) on his way back to his air base, Major General Joseph W. Stilwell (Robert Stack) trying to keep the city calm as paranoia begins to grow following rumours of an impending attack, the general’s secretary, Donna (Nancy Allen), who is sexually aroused by airplanes and Captain Loomis Birkhead (Tim Matheson) as he attempts to seduce her, various people who come into contact with the submarine, a romantic rival for Wally (Corporal Chuck Sitarski, played by Treat Williams), Betty’s father Ward (Ned Beatty), and more.

That synopsis probably made your head spin. To the film’s credit, the plot of 1941 is easy to follow. There’s just too much of it. All the storylines and characters are distinct, which means it isn’t nearly as confusing as it sounds on paper. The problem is that several of these stories could’ve been eliminated. Wild Bill Kelso, for example. Does he really add that much to the plot? I don’t think so. Sure, it’s a way for Spielberg to inject some John Belushi, but I would’ve traded away all of his scenes for more Captain Loomis and Betty. Seeing a woman get turned on by flying and a guy desperately trying to bring her up in the air so they can get it on? That’s funny. I would’ve also dispensed with the submarine and the various people who wind up on it. Again, they’re not crucial to the plot and exing them out would’ve streamlined this picture.

The frustrating thing about 1941 is that it’s almost good. So many jokes will have you roaring. Too many for me to call it bad, but it’s also not quite there. Spielberg is such a talented filmmaker that the picture looks great and keeps moving, but you can’t help feeling as though it could’ve been better. The easiest comparison is to It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World which also features an ensemble cast. The difference is that the Stanley Kramer movie was always moving in one singular direction. 1941 is all over the place. (October 20, 2017)

I Wanna Hold Your Hand: Criterion 4K Edition

Dir. Richard Zemeckis Score: 5.6

Robert Zemeckis’ 1978 feature debut, set in 1964, about six high schoolers from Jersey who go on an impromptu road trip up to New York to try and watch the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show, is nothing if not effervescent.

The six include the Die Hard fan, Rosie (Wendie Jo Sperber), madly in love with Paul; the Skeptic, Janis (Susan Kendall Newman), who instead prefers bands that promote social change; the Entrepreneur, Grace (Theresa Saldana), who wants to take pictures of the Fab Four to jumpstart her photography career; the Dupe, Larry (Marc McClure), the driver, haplessly taken with Grace; the Agnostic, Pam (Nancy Allen), who is planning on getting married the next day, and frets about what her fiance might think; and the Chaos Agent, Tony (Bobby Di Cicco), who hates the band, and only goes in order to try and score with Janis.

Along the way, of course, they meet many other madcap characters — none more memorable, or well-rendered as Richard “Ringo” Klaus (Eddie Deezan), another Beatles’ super-fan, whose path crosses with Rosie with spectacularly nerdy results — all designed the push the farcical plot forward. Each member of the party gets their own allotment of plot shenanigans and red herrings, en route to all reuniting, magically, at the Ed Sullivan theater at the appointed time.

It’s hardly a masterpiece, but there is a scrappy, inventive sort of energy that becomes infectious. Zemeckis’ conceit might feel a bit ponderous at times — the kids run into each other all across the city, always at the precise moments they most need to — but the film captures the sense of freedom and excitement when a cultural tidal wave engulfs a nation. There is a sense of unity, even among the doubters, that all the young people crowded into New York over the weekend, are all there for the same purpose, the kind of experience exclusively reserved for the young.

The best scenes involve the reluctant Pam, who, by dint of wanting to avoid trouble at the band’s hotel, with all of her friends desperately running from cops and hotel security up and down the floors, inadvertently manages to sneak into the lads’ actual hotel room while they’re out doing a soundcheck. As she takes in the scene (and enjoys a kind of sensual bliss with Paul’s bass), running her fingers over their clothes, drinking sips from their used glasses, and pulling a small clump of hair from one of their hairbrushes, we watch as she moves from demure wife-to-be, to fully embracing her independent sensuality. Nobody escapes unscathed by the end, the crew’s run-in with the band leaves each kid with a greater understanding of themselves, and their possible, if fleeting, future.

Disc Extras: Along with the new 4K restoration, Criterion have also included commentaries from Zemeckis and co-writer Bob Gale; interviews with the director, Allen, and McClure; a pair of early shorts Zemeckis made before his first feature; and an essay from critic Scott Tobias.
