B&B Presents: "Hey B.J. when are you going to give me back..."

Most of you have probably notice the piles of unfiled DVDs littered around the shelf. Well guess what, most of those are on loan (speaking of which, who has my Female Prisoner 701: Scorpion?). So this week are a couple I'm looking forward to watching, sharing, enjoying and then finally returning.

Sun Aug.20

7pm Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987): Todd Haynes (director of Far From Heaven and Safe) sophomore effort detailing the rise and anorexic fall of Karen Carpenter all performed with Barbie Dolls. Long only available on bootleg (don't expect that to change) due to the essential use of The Carpenters' music throughout the film. It's a fun watch. When not following Karen battle with herself the movie becomes a 80s Educational film on Anorexia. Well you'll see what I mean when you see it. Soon to be returned to the lovely Coleman.



9pm 3:15: The Moment of Truth (1986): Seems to be pretty much the same plot as Deadbeat at Dawn (Though I doubt as brilliant) most feared gang member leaves gang, gang attacks his girl and are now after him. Unlike Deadbeat the location is high school and at 3:15, after school, everything's gonna get settled in the final battle royale. (I was thinking of double Billing with Class of 1984 but I saw it already at Cinemuerte). Take note Browncoats (dork code for Firefly fan) Adam Baldwin (Jayne from Firefly) is the lead here. Excitement abounds! Soon to be returned to the stellar Larissa.

Next week: Comedy Gods on Dysfuntional Romance.

Coming soon: More Craven, More Fulci, Bronson and Silva vigilante action, Seijun Suzuki, Fukasaku and Verhoeven double bill. Oh geez so much more.
