Landmark After Dark

The Muppets Take Manhattan is a tale of jealousy, odd jobs, and of course show business in the big city. This is the last Muppets movie made before Jim Henson's unfortunate passing, and his presence can be felt in every scene. Arguably, it's also the first time where the group's front man, or front frog really comes into his own.

If you have the most unusual, ectoplasm-based pest, who you gonna call?  Of course, you can’t trust just the usual brand of insect spray or a service that can’t even do any damage to your undead pests.  No, all that’s needed is three scientists with quirky suits, laser guns, and an awesome vacuum-like device to trap those ghosts.  Through some disaster, laughter, and fun-filled entertainment, you now have the complete Ghostbusters service experience.

Love space ships?  Lasers?  Time travel?  How about whales?  No, the whales aren’t traveling through time, in a space ship, to destroy earth with lasers.  As far as these elements are concerned, there’s only one movie that can make them all mix so succinctly, and that’s a Star Trek movie.  Get ready for another cool adventure from the loveable James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his hard-hitting crew aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.

Here’s another rip-roaring thrill ride!  Honestly, there’s never enough Steven Spielberg, at least when it comes to his old work, but one definitely could not be without a healthy dose of our favorite professor/archeologist/action-hero:  Indiana Jones (played by Harrison Ford, of course).  If there’s a general consensus upon what a good Indiana Jones film should be, this movie proves that there’s no need for Nazi bad guys, nor is there a need to chase ancient arches or grails.  This movie proves all a good Indiana Jones film needs is the usual outfit, the usual whip, the usual whit and romance, even a shiny treasure to throw in for good measure... and most of all, it needs booby traps.  In this movie, there’s no such thing as too many booby traps.

"No one sleeps when they mess with Coffy!" That's good news, because we're showing this one at midnight!
      If you only know Pam Grier from Jackie Brown or The L Word, then you don't know nothing, fool! Miss Grier was and is the epitome of the bad-ass female action star, and the best example of this is in Coffy. Although this isn't the first time that Pam Grier has worked with director Jack Hill, it's her first time as the star. Let me tell you, no one else looks as at ease with a pumped shotgun than Pam Grier did.
 
      Rushing to finish Coffy''s production before another blacksploitation classic, the competing Cleopatra Jones, this movie went on to be a box office success. There's a reason that Coffy stands the test of time and is such an inspiration for Quentin Tarantino and others: it has everything you would want in a blacksploitation film while twisting the stereotypes that in lesser hands could be a detriment to the genre. An extremely powerful leading FEMALE action hero, one of the first in modern cinema, and a then unfashionable anti-drug stance are both elements of what makes this such a pivotal film.
       But forget all that. It's got cat-fights, chases, pimps, and unbelievable music. All in all, this is a great revenge movie. And it's a damned fun one.
