This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Amityville: A New Generation (1993)

So a while back I dedicated my movie watching efforts to those series of horror films that never seem to end (think Friday The 13th). Amityville Horror is just one of those series. This little gem, if one was still counting at this point, is part 7 of the ongoing series. Somewhat encouraged by part 6, entitled Amityville 1992: It's About Time, which I liked way more than I thought I would, I had actual good hopes for this one. Oh how disappointed I was. This film suffers from an attempt to really connect it to the original, with relating the main character to the original family. Lame. Also, his secret father, posing as a bum, gives him a mirror from the original house, which in turn haunts his little art gallery apartment house. Double lame. This one is a real snoozer. You will recognize some faces and be bummed out at Hook from Thrashin's relatively small role. Let this be a lesson for late sequels: Don't try to rewrite what has come before you. Also, actually try to be scary.

Love, Biff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Cats Can Fly - Cats Can Fly (1986)

Do you love mid-80's Canadian synth-pop? Of course you do. And who cares if these guys don't sing too well? They've got some pretty impressive jackets. Apparently "Flippin' To The 'A' Side" was a hit for the group, but I don't recognize it. The video is definitely worth checking out, though. Song titles that could ostensibly be homoerotic anthems: "Save It For The Next One" and "Heavy Load." I heard their drummer won a 'Til Tuesday era Aimee Mann look-a-like contest in '87. Is that true?
