The Heavenly Kid




Cliche-ridden 1985 comedy about a greaser who comes back from the dead to teach a young kid how to be cool. Featuring the mom from Malcolm In The Middle, the dad from Empty Nest, and possibly the most musical montages I've ever seen in a film.

Howard The Duck: Loud Noises




While working on my forthcoming video review of George Lucas's unfairly maligned Howard The Duck, I couldn't help but notice how unnecessarily loud much of the movie is. The characters never seem to have their mouths shut, and half the time they aren't saying anything--just making loud, guttural sounds.

Anti-Semitism in Short Circuit (1986)




Red Coat and Black Coat review 1986 Ally Sheedy / Steve Guttenberg movie Short Circuit. Is the film a timeless childhood classic, or vuglar exercise in mindless racial stereo-types with a bizarre resolution founded on anti-semitism?
