221. Silver Streak (right click OR click)

Despite being set mostly on a train this movie is not as good as an anime series called Baccano! could be that 70′s era train travel isn’t as cool as 30′s?  That’s not really a question though is it? This is the movie with Gene Wilder and hints of Richard Pryor though honestly there is far more Pryor in Superman 3.

I don’t know what is what with this one.  I mean the Crank guys make this and they use Law Abiding Citizen too but not even  Terry Crews or Keith David  can quite make this movie work …  But we talk about it anyway and discuss the important issues of what happens when people treat people like this:

Ian and Mark talk about this Joe Dante film from the late 80′s.  A simpler time when Tom Hanks movies were  a little more fun than they are now.  Though at its heart this film is quite dark.

Watch out Tom, that guy was in The Last Unicorn

Posted just a few minutes before the end of my birthday.  Horrah I got a rejection from the SxSW film fest today for a present.  So I’ll probably post the said rejected short online soon.   I did a little too much work outside in the rain today, so I feel kind of bad.  I’ll just say it’s the end of the beginning.
