📽️ Doc Hollywood (1991)

This was a side of Michael J. Fox that I wasn’t expecting, although I admit the only other movie of his I’ve seen is Back to the Future so that’s not a lot to go off of. This movie made me smile a lot. Yes, it’s corny and predictable, but it’s also enjoyable and fun. It was also a treat to see a young Woody Harrelson 😅 I really liked this one!

Sex/nudity: 5/10 (many sexual references, kissing, a pretty long scene with several frontal shots of a topless woman)

Language: 5/10 (three f-words, many other curse words, I’m very surprised it’s only rated PG-13)

Violence: 1/10 (a couple injuries seen in the doctor’s office)

Overall rating: 7/10

The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986). A young Cro-Magnon woman is raised by Neanderthals.

Not even sure what to say about this one other than it's a mess from start to finish. It feels pretty transparently like an attempt to capitalise on the success and cultural legacy of Quest for Fire five years earlier, but Michael Chapman is no Jean-Jacques Annaud. It's clunky, misogynistic, and the worst thing cinema can be - boring. 2/10.

Michael Chapman - Peel Session 1968

In the latest edition of Uncut (the one with Broooooce on the cover), I was kindly given a page to wax poetic over a very interesting / very cool new collaborative release — Another Tide, Another Fish by Andrew Tuttle and Michael Chapman. Of course as you know, the mighty Chapman passed away a few years back. But here's the deal:

What we’re left with is indeed a hybrid: part remix album, part cover album, both a solo work and a collaboration, of sorts. Inspired by Chapman’s original ideas and with new track titles directly referencing the numbered but otherwise untitled source material, Tuttle adds his own flashes of colours throughout, including editing, sampling, MIDI transposing and signal processing that twists these songs into beautiful new shapes.

Meddling with a departed musician's unfinished material is always a dangerous game ... but Tuttle's work here is marvelous. It really does feel in keeping with Chapman's always adventurous spirit, but also like a true partnership; Tuttle's additions are much more than mere flourishes. Anyway, it's cool, go grab it.

Chapman's late-career renaissance/celebration was great to see. He was one of those people who, when you finally heard him via a reissue or something, you wondered why you hadn't been hearing him your entire life. With a lot of those guys, they're long gone before that reassessment happens. But Michael got to enjoy it all. A little rarity to listen to? How about his very first Peel Session, from way back in 1968. He was a young man then, but he sounds fully formed and wise beyond his years, ready for whatever came next.

'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' in seventies San Francisco on Max and Prime Video

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), Philip Kaufman’s remake of the 1956 classic, updates it from the homespun innocence small town fifties America to the busy urban modernity of San Francisco of the seventies and gives the metaphor a new context. Donald Sutherland takes the lead as Matthew Bennell, a field agent for the Department of Health, and Brooke Adams is colleague Elizabeth Driscoll, a…
