rarefilm — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 00:52:49 +0000

Tired of being treated like a slave by team owner Sallison Potter (Ted Ross), charismatic star pitcher Bingo Long (Billy Dee Williams) steals a bunch of Negro League players away from their teams, including catcher/slugger Leon Carter (James Earl Jones) and Charlie Snow (Richard Pryor), a player forever scheming to break into the segregated Major League Baseball of the 1930s by masquerading as first a Cuban (“Carlos Nevada”), then a Native American (“Chief Takahoma”). They take to the road, barnstorming through small Midwestern towns, playing the local teams to make ends meet. One of the opposing players, ‘Esquire’ Joe Calloway (Stan Shaw), is so good that they recruit him. Bingo’s team becomes so outlandishly entertaining and successful, it begins to cut into the attendance of the established Negro League teams. Finally, Bingo’s nemesis Potter is forced to propose a winner-take-all game: if Bingo’s team can beat a bunch of all-stars, it can join the league, but if it loses, the …

Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story (2007) Jeffrey Schwarz, Forrest J. Ackerman, John Badham, Diane Baker

rarefilm — Tue, 21 Jul 2020 23:27:12 +0000

Spine Tingler: The William Castle Story chronicles the last great American showman, filmmaker William Castle, a master of ballyhoo who became a brand name in movie horror with his outrageous audience participation gimmicks. In the 1950’s and 60’s, Castle treated delighted moviegoers to buzzing seats, flying skeletons, luminescent ghosts and life insurance policies. His is a rags to riches tale of a larger than life showman who climbed his way up the Hollywood ladder by reinventing himself as a modern P.T. Barnum, all the while driven by a fear of failure and a longing to be respected among his peers.

Stakeout (1987) John Badham, Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez, Madeleine Stowe

rarefilm — Sat, 26 Jan 2019 00:01:01 +0000

Acclaimed director John Badham delivers a winning combination of action, suspense, comedy, and romance! Convinced that a dangerous escaped convict (Aidan Quinn) is headed for his ex-girlfriend’s (Madeleine Stowe), a pair of Seattle detectives (Richard Dreyfuss, Emilio Estevez) stake out her apartment. The watch remains routine until one of the detectives begins a high-risk romance with the woman under surveillance – jeopardizing not only the partners’ careers … but also their lives!

I think this is one of the under-appreciated movies from the 1980s. It blends realistic action and comedy well, without taking itself too seriously. I agree with reviewers that Dreyfuss in this movie proves he was very good at comedy movies if they were written well, like this was. And Aidan Quinn is very good also (in fact, from “Desperately Seeking Susan” in 1985, to “Stakeout,” to 1994’s “Legends of the Fall” he has consistently given reliably good performances). For a late 1980s movie, it has aged fairly well. It’s almost hard to believe that this movie came out only two years after Estevez was in “The Breakfast Club.” I wish there were more movies like this that blended action and comedy as well as “Stakeout” did.
