Somewhere between Strange Brew and Ghostbusters, our little Canadian friend Rick is found, out of all places, in an action film, and while his first film was pretty good... Streets of Fire, by comparison, had a tough act to follow. Typically, movies like this aren't exactly my cup of tea (thanks a lot, X chromosomes), but this one really surprised me, and in more ways that one. HOW did this get a ... read more

Walter Hill’s rock opera is an over-the-top, ridiculously loud and excessive film in every sense. But it fulfills its claim to be a “rock opera” precisely because of its no-holds-barred attitude.

The future kind of sucks. (432 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: Violence, lots and lots of violence, due mostly to punks, and a biker gang that's taken over a town, and caused lots of property damage. Year it takes place: Kind of a 50's/80's kind of time period."

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 2 (130 movies items)

"Pros: The rock ‘n roll atmosphere. It’s AA timeless comic book fantasy. The music. It’s action packed. Michael Pare, Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, William DaFoe, and Rick Moranis It’s a very 80’s movie. Con: It’s film, that only a handful will like enjoy. For some, it’s style over substance."

Film Journal 2020 (125 movies items)

"Welp, this is probably the best Walter Hill -film. I often take umbrage with the way he shoots everything very matter-of-factly, just panning his camera with the targets center-frame, but having this film be non-stop scored with music on the basis of it being a rock fable makes it a very dynamic whole, something he's forced to cut and frame around in a way that isn't his usual style. And he's... fucking awesome at it? Like, I wish he had pivoted more to making music videos with the way this thin"
