Beverly Hills Cop II (1987). Axel Foley returns to Beverly Hills to help Taggart and Rosewood investigate Chief Bogomil's near-fatal shooting and the series of "alphabet crimes" associated with it.

Ultimately a pretty forgettable action popcorn flick. Eddie Murphy's as watchable and charismatic on screen as ever, but I don't know, this one just feels really lackluster. The plot's so thin and seems more about setting up what are effectively sketches as opposed to scenes, which makes some parts work better than others. It had its moments, but overall it's pretty average. 5/10.

April Fool’s Daycame along after the highs of the early ’80s and when the genre was starting to lapse into self-parody and onscreen characters had ever-worse haircuts and fashion-sense. Meanwhile, the MPAA…

Bach is in the Air

[ma-come-mai]

«Siamo alla fine della civilizzazione». Parola del filosofo francese Michel Onfray. Definitosi un ateo cristiano, spesso criticato per le posizioni assunte negli ultimi anni, giudicate da molti di stampo sovranista e reazionario, il pensatore traccia un quadro generale di quest'epoca di transizione, dove il crollo della società occidentale lascerà il posto a una nuova fase. [...]

Donald Trump ha recentemente ironizzato sul riscaldamento climatico affermando che se il livello degli oceani salirà avremo più case «con vista sul mare». Come giudica il disinteressamento di una parte della politica a questi temi?

«Solo le democrazie decadenti hanno questo tipo di preoccupazione. Ci piace colpevolizzarci con sbagli che non sono i nostri. La Cina, l'India, l'Africa, gli Stati Uniti inquinano e se ne fregano. Noi siamo bravissimi nel prenderci i peccati dei Paesi viziosi. La virtù democratica occidentale, invece, è cinica: gli ecologisti non attaccano i jet privati, i cargo pieni di container, gli smartphone o i computer che provocano un inquinamento incredibile»

Lei ha descritto Greta Thunberg come un «cyborg svedese». Cosa pensa dell'impegno dei giovani nella difesa del clima?

«Questa generazione è sempre più incolta e più imbrigliata fin dalla sua più giovane età, quella della scolarizzazione, in lotte riguardanti fenomeni sociali. Non conosce l'ortografia ma fa la raccolta differenziata; non sa chi sono Johann Sebastian Bach o Èmile Zola ma vuole cambiare sesso a sei anni. I ragazzi ignorano il fatto di essere gli idioti utili del capitalismo verde, che li ha trasformati in consumatori connessi. Il loro cervello è diventato facoltativo».

You’re Invited To A Killer Weekend – Remembering APRIL FOOL’S DAY on its 32nd Anniversary

Eight years after Fred Walton directed one of the most significant horror films of the 70s (the Carol Kane urban legend masterpiece When A Stranger Calls), he cast his eye on the latest horror craze: Slasher Films. By 1986, the subgenre that dominated horror for the better part of a decade was creatively and financially on its last gasps. The big three franchises – Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Halloween – were all long in the tooth, posting reduced grosses at the box office, and the glut of impersonators had died off. As slasher fans know, it would take a savvy script and decade of distance to revive slasher films with Scream in 1996.

Walton’s 1986 contribution to slasher history didn’t exactly blow the lid off of the box office or wow critics either, but in the annals of horror history, April Fool’s Day deserves its due. It is truly one of the smartest, savviest slasher films because it embodies the essential conventions of the subgenre, while simultaneously critiquing and subverting them. On its 32nd anniversary of release, let’s celebrate this forgotten gem.

  Plot

Spoilers for a 32 year old movie to follow…

On the surface, the plot of April Fool’s Day is fairly pedestrian and by the books. The weekend of April Fools, a group of college friends are invited by Muffy St. Cloud (Deborah Foreman) – their rich, eccentric, ridiculously-named school friend – to stay at her palatial island home. What starts out as a party weekend, replete with silly jokes set up by Muffy, quickly dovetails into a series of horrifying murders as the island is infiltrated by an unknown assailant who brutally murders the students one-by-one.

In the end, the killer is revealed to be Muffy’s identical twin sister, Buffy <snicker> who has gone crazy and hacked up everyone save milquetoast couple Kit (Amy Steel) and Rob (Ken Olandt). With the killer twin hot on their heels, they burst into the mansion’s dining room and discover…all of their friends, alive and well. No one has died!

The whole set-up is actually an immersive murder mystery enterprise that Muffy is test-driving on her friends (without their consent, which p.s. is not ok). The reveal is merely the latest in a series of elaborate pranks that have been scattered throughout the film. No one was harmed; they were simply recruited to play corpses after their “murders” in order to advance the game’s narrative.

While this fake-out premise may not sound particularly innovative, consider that this is 1986 – a full eleven years before David Fincher pulled the same shenanigans on Michael Douglas in The Game (1997) and a full 31 years before last year’s festival winner Ruin Me employed nearly the same narrative premise for its weekend slasher “escape room” game.

    Box Office and Ancillaries

Despite (or perhaps because of) the film’s cleverness, it never quite took off. April Fool’s Day has a meager 33% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, though its reviews range from middling to positive. Many critics praise the film’s restraint around violence and gore, but overlook the film’s clever deconstruction of slasher tropes.

April Fool’s Day opened to $3.3 million but eventually pulled in nearly $13 million on a $5 million budget. The final gross is in line with other 1986 horror films like Critters ($13 million) and Psycho 3 ($14 million), but well behind Poltergeist 2‘s $40 million and even Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives‘s $20 million.

April Fool’s Day was originally released for the home market on both videocassette and laserdisc (those were the days). It has also had three separate DVD releases: solo in 2002, once as a triple feature with Tales from the Darkside: The Movie and Stephen King’s Graveyard Shift in 2007 and finally as a double-feature with My Bloody Valentine in 2008. Disappointingly none of these releases include any special features, not even an audio commentary from Fred Walton or writer Danilo Bach, who wrote the screenplay for Beverly Hills Cop. Considering how much the market for 80s reissues have grown courtesy of companies such as Scream Factory, it’s disappointing that someone hasn’t snapped up the rights to do a proper release, loaded with prank-filled extras.

Oh: the 2008 redo starring a crop of young Hollywood actors and made-for-Lifetime effects? Best skip it. It bears almost no resemblance to the original outside of the name.

  Memorable Bits

While the twist ending is obviously the main reason to seek out April Fool’s Day, it would be a crime to overlook the other amazing contributions that the film has made to popular culture:

A cast of actors who are actually age appropriate for their characters

Virtually no gore. This is a very suggestive film with little to no actual violence or viscera

Some seriously teased/blow-dried/feathered/freeze-dried dos

Incomparable late 80s preppy weekend-wear fashion like that fake-suspenders polo shirt

Unlike Student Bodies or Scary Movie, both of which mock slasher conventions without actually employing them, April Fool’s Day is simultaneously a horror film and a send-up of all of the ridiculous tropes that comprise them. The overlap between the final chase and the moment when Kit and Rob see their friends lounging around drinking is a genuine confluence of traditional, revisionist and parodic approaches to slasher films. There’s a reason why the end is the film’s most memorable and enduring component.

Los ex del Real Madrid aprueban con nota

Que el Real Madrid tuvo la temporada pasada una de las mejores plantillas de su historia quedó claro con el gran éxito que supuso ganar la Liga y la Champions. Sin embargo, tener suplentes de tan alto nivel se hizo insostenible un año después -y más, en año de Mundial, donde los futbolistas necesitan jugar más si cabe-, y está quedando demostrado que en otras plazas todos estos nombres están consiguiendo tener un papel absolutamente protagonista. 

James Rodríguez (Bayern de Múnich): El despido de Ancelotti hizo pensar que el colombiano podía acabar quedándose sin sitio en el once del equipo bávaro, pero Heynckes le ha hecho indiscutible. Como interior en un 4-3-3, James está teniendo mucho protagonismo en el juego del equipo, y sea cual sea la combinación de los centrocampistas del Bayern, él tiene un papel preponderante. Entre todas las competiciones, suma 22 partidos, 4 goles y 7 asistencias. 

Álvaro Morata (Chelsea): De más a menos, su rendimiento ha bajado ligeramente en el último mes por culpa de una lesión de espalda. Ahora, el Chelsea ha añadido competencia para el puesto de nueve con el fichaje de Giroud, pero parece claro que el internacional español es el delantero centro titular de Conte, entre otras cosas por la buena sintonía que ha mostrado con Hazard. Morata ha jugado 31 partidos esta temporada, marcando 12 goles y dando 4 asistencias.

Mariano Díaz (Olympique de Lyon): Está siendo una de las grandes sensaciones de la liga francesa, y a pesar de haber pasado por un pequeño bache anotador, es el delantero centro indiscutible de Genesio. Él y Fekir forman una de las parejas de ataque de moda en el fútbol europeo, y se está confirmando como un delantero centro agresivo y goleador en la exigencia élite. El dominicano ha jugado este curso 29 partidos, ha marcado 16 goles y ha dado 4 asistencias.

Pepe (Besiktas): Bastión defensivo del equipo turco, ha sido una pieza decisiva en la clasificación de los de Senol Günes para los octavos de final de la Liga de Campeones, donde se enfrentarán al Bayern de Múnich. Generalmente con Tosic en el centro de la zaga, la llegada de Vida confirma una dupla de centrales experimentada y de gran nivel. El portugués ha jugado 25 encuentros, todos como titular, y ha marcado un gol. 

Danilo (Manchester City): El brasileño es suplente en el equipo de Guardiola, ya que Kyle Walker es una pieza muy importante en el lateral derecho. Es cierto que Mendy, el lateral izquierdo, se lesionó de gravedad a final de temporada, y que Pep ha preferido a Delph o Zinchenko para suplirle, si bien es cierto que el pasado fin de semana ante el Burnley actuó en esa posición, marcando un gran gol. Sin ser indiscutible, está teniendo bastantes minutos. El brasileño ha jugado 25 encuentros (17 como titular), ha marcado 2 goles, y ha dado 1 asistencia. 

Coentrao (Sporting de Portugal): El lateral portugués salió, cansado de estar a la sombra de Marcelo, y en el equipo de Jorge Jesus es imprescindible en el lateral izquierdo. Sin llegar a mostrar su mejor tono físico, es imprescindible en el sistema defensivo de un equipo que está peleando por conquistar una liga que en este momento lidera el Oporto, con dos puntos de ventaja sobre el Benfica y el propio Sporting. Coentrao ha jugado 27 partidos, marcando 1 gol y dando 3 asistencias.
