Eric’s Bad Movies: ‘Staying Alive’ (1983)

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Two discs from Netflix sat on my desk, “Staying Alive” and “Speed 2.” I had planned to do “Speed 2″ for this week’s Bad Movie and “Staying Alive” next week. Then it came time to watch one or the other, and I went with “Staying Alive.” Why? Because — and this was literally the reason — it was a half-hour shorter than “Speed 2.” So thank you, “Staying Alive,” for only being 96 minutes long.

Anyway, here it is at Film.com, my treatise on “Staying Alive.” (Spoiler: It’s not a very good movie.)

Thursday movie roundup – May 22

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The Friday movie roundup — on a Thursday? What kind of deviltry is this?! It is the kind necessitated by the Thursday release of a little film called “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which I quite enjoyed. It has the look and feel of an Indy film, and it fits right in with the collection. I’m pretty sure I like it more than “Temple of Doom,” which has that really annoying Kate Capshaw stinking up the place.

And … that’s it. There aren’t any other films opening this week. I hope to have reviews of a few indie flicks (not to be confused with an Indy flick) within the next several days, though, including “Young @ Heart” and “The Visitor.”
