A Gem
This movie is a gem that is over looked. If you were a child of they 80s you most likely have seen this movie. This over the top oddity was before it's time. It is a work of art only Terry Gilliam can pull off. If this movie came out in the late 90s or 2000s it would be mentioned more often but being a product of the 80s (a great era of for films) ithas been fading away. So before it it is a footnote in a movie journal go find a copy and watch it and share it and talk about it. Let the legend live on.

"Trust was one of the first American indies that I ever saw… and it blew my mind. My experience of movies up until that point had taken place in a multiplex. The fare was entertaining, sure, but I never felt like there was a place for me in it. Hartley’s film and the early ’90s changed all of that. It seemed like a whole new art form. I didn’t even realize that you could make a film like this! The characters were smart and seductive, and they hurt and loved in ways I recognized. Martin Donovan, Bill Sage, Adrienne Shelly — they were my Band of Outsiders."

"They’re the one band I’d love to see reform and get all the money and all the credit they’re due. They were so explosive, so prolific, so ragged and quite harsh live. They were very much of a pre-90s world, if you know what I mean - under-rehearsed, slamming it out, not caring. Probably never had a fucking tour bus. They were on the cusp of greatness, then it all fucking imploded. Songs like ‘Too Far Down’, ‘Hardly Getting Over It’, ‘Sorry Somehow’, I love that because of Grant Hart’s desperation on it. I always preferred Grant’s voice but I think Bob [Mould] might have shaded it on the lyrics."

I absolutely LOVED this movie! A musical biopic during which the characters may break into an Elton John song at any moment? Sign me up.

If I hadn't already been half in love with Taron Egerton, I would be now. Major kudos to him for the performance, the singing, and the flair with which he portrayed Sir Elton.

My only quibble is that the movie only goes up to the late 80s. I would have liked to have seen it go further, into the 90s and beyond, but I understand why it didn't.

Was Bohemian Rhapsody a better movie? Maybe. But Rocketman was so much more fun.

"They're creepy and they're kooky
Mysterious and spooky
They're altoghether ooky
the Addmas Family!"

(Very) Early 90s live action take on the Addams Family with Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston impeccably cast as Gomez and Morticia Addams, alongside an equally impeccably cast Christopher Lloyd as Fester Addams.

The plot? Fester Addams has been missing, presumed dead, for decades until a man arrives at their house claiming to be the same, but with no memory of his childhood.

No, this is NOT the one where Wednesday Addams learns to smile (that would be the superior sequel: The Addams Family Values), but this is still an enjoyable enough diversion.

It easy to forget how jaw dropping Independence Day was when it first landed in the mid 90s, thanks to the plethora of sub-par disaster films that followed in its wake, thanks in no small part to this very films director, but the fact remains that it's is still blockbuster gold to this day.
It's cheesy, it's loud, it's dumb, but it has an incredibly likable cast, effects that still hold up, and absolutely shit loads of general destruction.
It also has possibly THE best speech ever commited to film. If you don't get all riled up during that speech, then you are dead inside, I don't make the rules.

Rent-A-Pal certainly has that 90s vibe to it as lonely bachelor named David (Brian Landis Folkins) is looking for an escape from the day-to-day drudgery of caring for his ageing mother (Kathleen Brady). His only escape is the chance to find a partner through a video dating service but he discovers a strange VHS tape called Rent-A-Pal.

Hosted by the charming and charismatic Andy (Wil Wheaton – Star Trek: The Next Generation, The Big Bang Theory, Stand By Me), the tape offers him what he yearns for, some much-needed friendship. But finding a Pal comes at a cost.
