The Burning  I guess the facial expressions of the kids and teens, sums up how the shocking rafting scene truly was, and even after repeated views, that build up and tension, always get s to me, and for me, The Burning is surely one of the best made of the many slasher films of the early 80s. I have been saying it before, but I will most likely re-watch it later this summer, not sure if I have time or interest in getting through the entire Friday the 13th series, but The Burning and the first 4-5 of the mentioned franchise, along with maybe a few others, I should have time for. Also kind of "strange" to see young "George Costanza", with real hair. Was almost expecting a young Elaine to come rip it off, and then tell him what she thinks of it.

Great movie, and surely one of the best made superhero flicks of the late 80s and early 90s, along with the Tim Burton Batman films and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Love the performances of Liam Neeson and Larry Drake, and how the film make such a good use of combining tragedy, drama, romance, action and horror so well. Sadly, Neeson did not return to the lesser sequels, I guess by then, he had already become a huge and more serious movie star, more famous for dramatic parts than these action and over the top roles, but I thought he handled himself very well, as the tragic and sad figure of Peyton Westlake/Darkman, and in many ways the film and characters reminded me very much of the first RoboCop (1987) film, where you had these corrupt yuppie-villains who wanted to make a "better" city, by destroying the old, and instead ended up creating a very powerful enemy, but in the making destroying the life of an likeable everyday man, disfiguring him, both physically and mentally but one that would surely haunt the baddies for sure. I guess Neeson returning to the action and advneture genre with the success of Taken into the late 00s, was somewhat of a surprise to many, as they probably only knew him mostly from dramatic roles and movies, but for those who remembers Darkman, I guess it was of no shock, and I am glad he did the action stuff so great, but if there one day was to be made another Darkman chapter (live action or animated) I would love to see if Neeson could return, either as an older Westlake/Darkman or through maybe a villainous part, that or a nice cameo.

 Goodbye Lover (1998) Is that Patricia Arquette, with a red wig? Anyway, I have been meaning checking up a few of Don Johnson and his 80s/90s films, and is this one of those worth to look up further?

 The Mask (1994).  Hot damn, has she ever looked more gorgeous? Poor Stanley, he really got taken for quite a ride in this one, but at least, one I think he surely did not regret.

 Dany Carrel and Scilla Gabel in Mill of the Stone Women aka Il mulino delle donne di pietra 1960 Italian horror, but taking place along the canals in the Netherlands. Crazy professor keeps his daughter (standing) alive by draining innocent victims of blood, with the help of an equally crazy doctor and later displays the victims bodies as waxworks art.

Yep, it’s her. She’s only in that red wig for that particular moment. A sexual role playing moment involving a secret affair with Don Johnson’s character. I didn’t mind it. Some performances stand out more than others. Virtually it’s Wild Things. In how the plot plays out. But instead of being sleazy and trashy, it’s quirky and smug.

Some performances stand out more than others. Virtually it’s Wild Things. In how the plot plays out. But instead of being sleazy and trashy, it’s quirky and smug. I might look it up someday, as I still have a bunch of Don Johnson movies that I kind of want to catch up with, even if they might not be considered as "great" ones. However, he seemed to work better within the smug/tough guy roles in certain erotic thrillers of the 90s, at least of what I have seen. The Hot Spot I liked, and Guilty as Sin was another enjoyable late night cable flick. However, I guess he never quite managed to find his "place" in the movie business, as much as he did as being a huge tv star with Miami Vice, but Nash Bridges was probably a nice comeback, for a while. Anyway, glad to see him still keeping up with solid parts, even if they are far away of being the leading man, and he seems to enjoy himself in that type of performances as well.

 Ginger Rogers and William Powell in Star of Midnight 1935. They don't only drink a lot of cocktails, they also manage to find a missing actress and solve a murder case.
