ON
ELM
STREET
2:
 With
the
tagline “"You've
got
the
body,
I've
got
the
brains,"” Freddy
takes
a different
approach
in
the
most
infamous
installment
of
the
Elm
Street
series.
This
time
he “"inhabits" Jesse,
a confused & sexually
frustrated
teenage
boy
(Mark
Patton
gives
the
performance
of
his
career… literally!)
As
the
two
confront
Jesse's
inner
most
fears,
a sexual
dilemma
emerges
from
him
(as
well
as
a very
high-pitched
scream),
resulting
in
an
abundance
of
teen
murders.
This
highly
interesting,
subversive
(by
default?)
slasher
film
asks
many
more
questions
than
it
understands
the
answers
for.
But
what
would
you
expect
from
a movie
that
concocted
a killer
basketballs
sequence
and
a psychotic
parrot
who
self-destructs
when
cornered
in
the
living
room?!
Preceded
by
a gaggle
of
slasher
trailers
from
the
80s!
90min.
35mm.

When
misogyny & homophobia
in the 1980s
reached their
most extreme,
a new genre
was born,
oozing with
confused
sexual repression: “"So
Straight,
It's
Gay.” This
mean-spirited
knuckle-brusier
of a film
crowns Sir
Patrick Swayze
as the head
bouncer in
a small town
bar named
the Double
Deuce Club
(aka“"The Double
Douche Club!" )
What follows
are the most
over-the-top,
ultra violent
bar fights
ever filmed!
(Have you
ever seen
a guy get
his throat
ripped out...
by hand?)
But nothing
will prepare
you for the
countless
confusing
one-liners,
the amazingly
awkward straight
sex scenes
and the ultimate
oily Tai-Chi
routine,
epitomizing
the most
sexually
confused
decade of
all. 112min.
35mm widescreen.
Many
joined
the Air
Force
after
watching
this
pinnacle “"So
Straight,
It's
Gay”1980s
film.
But for
the rest
of us,
we started
to pick
up on
some
of the
undertones
(that
only
co-star
Val Kilmer
seems
aware
of.)
This
slick,
bare-chested
macho
fest
follows
Maverick,
who finds
himself
in the
danger
zone
as he
cruises
to achieve
Top Dawg
in the
fleet.
But oddly
enough,
the dynamics
between
Cruise
and Kilmer
are much
more
breathtaking
than
any scenes
with
his intended
heartthrob,
Kelly
McGillis.
Come
relive
those
tighty-whitey,
synth-pop
glory-days
(all
hail
Giorgio
Moroder!)
except
this
time,
you’ll
be rooting
for the
other
side
of Tom
Cruise. 110min,
35mm
widescreen.
