This Week's Movie You've Probably Never Seen
Storm Trooper (1998)
What? Is this an in-depth look into the mundane everyday life of a storm trooper? No silly, its a Corey Feldman action movie! You cannot go wrong with the cast: Feldman, Carol Alt, Kool Moe Dee and John Laughlin. Also included is "Gremlins" own Zach Galligan, making this the 2nd team up of the unstoppable force that is Galligan/Feldman, the 1st being the non-stop laughfest that is "Round Trip To Heaven." Basically, a group of army assassins are tracking a cyborg that they must destroy. Only problem is that the cyborg is holed up in Carol Alt's house. Feldman's role is limited here and is mostly hampered by the fact that, at least on my DVD copy, for about 40 minutes the sound is about a half second behind the action. Words cannot describe how annoying this is. Aside from that this is a pretty enjoyable low-budget sci-fi flick, with an ending that always makes me wish that there was a sequel. Remember kids, Galligan + Feldman = Box Office Gold.
Love, Biff.
This Week's Record You're Probably Not Listening To
Cabo Frio - Right On the Money (1986)
There's smooth jazz, and then there's the rare breed of smooth jazz that decides to take it to that next level, you know, really kick out the jams! So instead of sipping your chardonnay, you beer bong it. It's a whole big thing. Anyway, I have no doubt that these guys are excellent musicians, and really, this could be much worse, but damn if something about this much calculated saxaphone work doesn't just make me want to move to the coast of Florida to start moving large quanities of blow. I've already donned a white sport coat. That can't be a good sign.
