Gome of the Week
Well, they're doing a sequel to Tron. And they're remaking Red Sonja. And there's another Terminator movie coming out. I already mentioned GI Joe a while back. Beverly Hills, 90210 is also making a return. Transformers? That already came out, right? The Punisher, I think we're looking at another one of those...what am I forgetting? Oh, that's right, Robocop. That's also happening. Thundercats? Think that's been greenlighted.Turns out shit was a lot cooler when I was a kid. Or nobody can think of anything new. Either way, I'll expect Gobots vs. MadBalls next summer.

This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Vamping (1984)

Wow, I haven't written a movie review in a while. Biff's on a short hiatus, but I am here for you.

I watched this gem a few months back, and I really have to say, it was much better than I thought it would be. It's a grainy, low budget, semi-noir flick where Patrick Duffy plays a washed up sax player/poon hound who pulls a break-in job to get his precious sax out of hock, but gets way more than he bargained for. He ends up falling for the somewhat attractive bitchy rich lady (Catherine Hyland, who has been in three other things since this flick, one of which is coming out this year) who he robs, and after a series of fairly predictable twists and turns, the movie ends on a really low note, which I liked a lot. And, not surpisingly, Duffy can fake like he's blowing a mean sax with the best of 'em.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Richard Maltby & His Orchestra - Music to Recline By (In a Berkline Chair) (196?)

There's not much to say about the music on this one. It's just some standard string numbers. But the cross promotion here is pure gold. From the back: "Maltby gives you variety of mood, but with an overall feeling of deep tenderness, exquisite warmth, blissful ease- utterly charming and gratifying to the ear and heart...music which symbolizes perfectly the restful comfort of Berkline Chairs!" Smooth. The weirdest thing: the lady in the chair is holding the same record that she is on the cover of. Whoah. That just blew my mind.
