The Ice Pirates (1984)
Still made me laugh 40 years later
The year is 1984 and Hollywood is thriving with lots of slapstick comedy and B-rated movies. I guess that's why the 1980s has some of the best pop classic hits. If you are a fan of 1980s space comedies, you will truly enjoy this one.
This movie is generally underrated, which is to be expected, as all the Debbie downers out there expecting this to be something that it's not. Its a 1980s comedy, a spoof, and an excellent one to boot. This is not a serious sci-fi action adventure.
This movie is filled with talented actors before they hit it big. C'mon now, Sloth is in it. They work well with each other and they make the comedy work, unlike most modern day comedies. Their is never a dull moment in this movie and if you don't pay attention, you will miss most of the subtle humor that makes this movie work.
The biggest shortcoming of this film is the ending, where there's an over the top chase scene that is really out of this world. It amazes me that it works well for this movie. Another downside to this movie is that it rarely, and i do mean rarely, ever gets shown on any of the streaming sites. In addition trying to find a DVD copy is near impossible. If you do get a chance to get your hands on a copy of this movie, I highly encourage you to take a watch. You will not be disappointed.
Come from Away (2021)
MUST SEE HIDDEN GEM !!!
Come From Away is a musical telling the life-changing story of the stranded passengers diverted to Newfoundland following the 9/11 disaster. With an incredible cast, catchy tunes and a moving tale, Come From Away is definitely a must watch film. This show moved me emotionally in so many ways.
To Never Forget, on September 11th, 2001, two planes crashed into the world famous twin towers in New York City, after they were high jacked. American air space was closed and all planes in the air were forced to land; 38 of them were diverted to and stranded in Newfoundland, Canada. Come From Away tells the story of the passengers and crew from one of the planes as they come to terms with life in their new surroundings, while forming new relationships and bonds with the local residents.
Throughout this film, twelve cast members each play a number of roles and each tell their own story. The cast was sensational, the music is catchy and revered and the story is very emotional: one that will pull at your heart strings. Each song is well written and executed amazingly.
This is the filmed version of the award-winning Broadway musical, filmed live on stage at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in New York City, The message of this film is to remember how precious life is and how quickly it can be taken away or changed forever.
