Better than Fast and Furious: ‘Dirty Mary Crazy Larry’

Ricky D’s Favourite Cult Films #36

A good percentage of the best American chase films were released in the decade that brought us a new wave of rebellious, edgy filmmakers who put muscle cars in the spotlight, and directed realistic, fast-paced action sequences highlighted by the incredible stunt work from Hollywood daredevils. Cutting right to the chase, Dirty Mary Crazy Larryis high on extreme stunts and crazy car crashes, created in a time when CGI didn’t exist. Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry remains one of the best in the genre: the stunts are extreme, the humor is dark, and the cars are awesome.

Green Lantern # 20 Ends Geoff Johns’ Run With an Overblown Bang

The last issue of Geoff Johns’ epic tour as writer on “Green Lantern”, a run lasting over six years and multiple series, can’t be anything but personal for me, hence my breaking SOS protocol to write this review in the dreaded first-person.

Hannibal, Ep.1.09: “Trou Normand,” a nearly flawless cohesion of visual poetry

Hannibal serves up another carefully cooked up course of events with its ninth episode of the series, “Trou Normand,” as Jack and Will’s pursuit of a new killer (Lance Henriksen) takes a toll on Will’s psyche. Will is really beginning to crack under the pressure this week. He’s suffering from time lapses (losing a total of three and half hours of his life), and teaches the killer’s design to an empty class. As we see each and every week, Will is exposed to unimaginable horror every day. As Hannibal points out, Will is bolstering a sort of self inflicted emotional abuse by forcing himself into the minds of the killers he hunts down. The question is, how much can he possibly take? Hugh Dancy is by far the best thing about Bryan Fuller’s new show and this week the actor is at the top of his game. “Trou Norman” is another solid entry in what is without a doubt, the best series on network television.

‘Frances Ha’ a triumphant portrait of modern-day young-adult angst

By now, young people scratching and clawing their way towards adulthood is a quintessential, clichéd story. The wide-eyed dreamer trying to make it in the big city is one of the hoariest tricks in the book, but Frances Ha is a welcome new variation on this theme, a striking and beautiful ode to youth and its many flaws. Headlined by Great Gerwig, Frances Ha is nothing short of a triumph, an endearing, unforced, and honest story of failures and frustrations.

‘Fast & Furious 6′ is ridiculous enough to be fun despite being overlong

The cars are fast, as they always are, and the people are equally furious. In fact, they’re faster and furious-er now than they were before, but then, you already knew that. Be honest: if you’re reading this review, you do not need to be convinced or cajoled to hoof it to the theater to see Fast & Furious 6. You also don’t need encouragement to feel as if you, too, are like Dominic Toretto, Brian O’Conner, or their brothers- and sisters-in-wheels on the way home, pretending your Hyundai Sonata or beat-up pickup truck is a tricked-out muscle car. The thrill of these ciphers driving very fast, recklessly so, along with a number of impressively insane stunts, allows Fast & Furious 6 to be just good and fun enough.

‘Epic’ a decidedly derivative, if colorful, new animated film

We are living in a golden age of animation, yet so many people working at Hollywood’s studio-funded animation companies are content working in the realm of the familiar. Too frequently, new mainstream animated films are like a big bowl of soup, with countless flavors that you’ve tasted before tweaked only slightly to not be total carbon copies of something bigger and often better. Blue Sky’s latest, distributed by 20th Century Fox, is no different: Epic is pleasingly colorful and well animated. Unfortunately, it is immensely derivative and thus, only moderately charming some of the time.

‘Tain’t the Meat… It’s the Humanity! and Other Stories

Tales from the Crypt was a series of horror comics published by Entertaining Comics in the early to mid 1950s. Although it’s fair to say that EC (as it is more frequently known), and other comic book publishers of the time, won the war for the Hearts and Minds of America’s youth, the company stopped publishing them in 1955 after 27 issues. The storied early years of Maxwell Gaines and his comics company, and the trials and tribulations that the nascent comic book industry endured in those years has been well-documented. Shortsighted moralists, hard-line conservatives and righteous clergymen had decided that comics were rotting the brains and corrupting the souls of America’s youth. They needed to be stopped. Horror comics in particular were an easy target in these early battles. Replace “comic books” with “video games” in the Twenty-First Century and you have the same crusade against the blood and gore that male adolescents just never seem to get enough of.
