"I never considered you competition, Marvin."

"Aw, that's not nice, Quint. We had our moments."

"You must've had yours in private."

Critters 3 (1991)

Date watched:  28 January 2020

All right guys, I watched this one and the 2019 Critters Attack!

And I'm done now.

I know there's a Critters 4 but I'm good with the four I've watched because there was a significant decline in quality between #2 and #3.

Although #3 does star a young Leonardo DiCaprio who I've heard went on to do big things.  

So let's get into the plot, which is way less hilarious than the first two movies:

We start out with a father and his kids on a road trip where a Critter ends up hitching a ride with them back to their apartment building in the city.  They also meet Leo and his dad who is a total douche, and coincidentally the landlord of the building they live in.

So the Critter has some Critterlings and now we've got a bunch of Critters hanging out in this apartment building.  They eat the janitor and they want to eat one of the tenants but she gets away, and then they do a lot of menacing.

They are a less fun Gremlins.  Gremlins are really what they remind me of.

Aren't Gremlins and Critters weird words?  The 80s were mental.

They also had Ghoulies in the 80s – wtf was going on?  And Chucky as well!

I still fucking love when they curl up into a ball and bounce around.  It genuinely amuses me so much.

So then Leo and his dad turn up at the building and the dad gets eaten, and then all the tenants climb up onto the roof to escape the Critters who have set the basement on fire.  You can really defeat the Critters quite easily by just supplying them with food – they will eat anything.  They don't exclusively eat humans.  They particularly like burgers.

Anyway, other stuff happens and then at the end the Critters are defeated, but not really because I'm pretty sure there were some eggs left behind.

If I can't distinctly remember how a movie ended, that means it's a bad movie.

"Android"

-this is one of those films where the low budget doesn't get in the way of enthusiastic creativity

-it's also one of those methodical character studies in space, where the scenes last longer than usual but is solid throughout

-in this case an android trying to find out love and disobeying his creator

-a person I talked to after the film said this was his first Klaus Kinski film (he plays the creator). He's wonderfully creepy but actually a little restrained; that person ain't seen nothing yet

-one beautiful moment is the android trying to deal with seeing a woman for the first time; at the control room he watches part of "Metropolis" (specifically the scene where female robot turns human) while James Brown's "it's a man's man's man's world" plays

+it's a sublime contrast that brings out the best in both art

-it reminds me of "Moroder's Metropolis", just a few short years later, where he put Queen and such over the film

-another nice touch is the (very very early) video games being played by the android while he listens to 50's rock. Two neat forms of juvenile rebellion

-Brie Howard does a fantastic job as the woman in question

-I especially like her look as Klaus tells her he wants her for his female robot and she goes "I've heard a lot of stories to get into my pants, but that takes the cake"

-in a move decades ahead in cultural devolution, the naive android assumes wearing a fedora will make him cool

+it looks especially ridiculous with his gangly form and non matching space suit (par for the modern course)

-so many of the android's comments are just hilarious in the dead pan way he says them

-I rather enjoy the way the android mutiny in Munich is referred to obliquely thought the film (hence why they must stay on a space ship); it lingers in mind via its oral sketches

-this is the kind of sentimental, slow burn film that makes it stand apart the exploration films it is usually associated with

-huzzah for the female android that refuses to be groped by the doctor

-in a traditional touch nicely played, the doctor himself is revealed to be a robot; not the first time this has been done, but the framing and the emotional bond between the two creations makes it moving nonetheless

-this whole film in its careful and (dare I say) tender approach makes its views on love not just belonging to humans a quiet albeit triumphant sci fi tale

Craggus Comfort Movies: Battle Beyond The Stars (1980) Review

These are unsettling times so I'm kicking off a series of #CraggusComfortMovies with a look back at a childhood favourite: the buxom battleshipped Battle Beyond The Stars (1980) #Review

There’s something so intoxicatingly comforting about Roger Corman’s sci-fi reimagining of “The Magnificent Seven”, itself a remake of “Seven Samurai” that I’m surprised it’s not regulated by the government. It’s appeal probably lies in its perfect placement at the start of the home video boom in the early eighties when it was available to rent and its only competition was “Star Trek: The Motion…
