Just getting things rolling &
plenty on tap.
Onto the next nomination for best
picture as I really went back into the vault some 80 years.
From 1935 Michael Curtiz's Captain
Blood
Enslaved for treason doctor Peter Blood
breaks from the chains of oppression & sets to the high seas w/
his band of pirates. A noble swashbuckler he & his men pillage
for booty but it's Arabella Bishop's booty that almost costs him the
loyalty of crew as he sets sail for the mouth of the lion who hunts
them..I'll take a classic like this over shit like Pirates of the
Caribbean any day.
Time to serve up the next award in this
6 pack for best music score or soundtrax – The Rolling Rock
Convoy
C W McCalls song convoy is a trucker
classic. It makes me want to get behind the wheel of an 18 wheeler &
haul freight across the country. In the 70s sub-genre of
truxpoitation to have a movie made based on the song just sorta seems
a natural fit. Although Sam Peckinpah's effect isn't necessarily
successful you can't deny just how catchy that theme song is..Keep
truckin good buddy!
Chopping Mall
Chuck Cirino's driving synth score is
80s glorious. It is a perfect fit for Chopping Mall big hunk of mega
cheese & quite often is the best thing about the film loaded w/
ass wipe characters aside of Paul Bartel, Mary Woronov & Dick
Miller.
Conan the Barbarian
Basil Poledouris score (especially the
theme) is sometimes as grandiose as Schwarzenegger's physique. It
gives magnitude to a character that is larger then life in a world of
hot steel.
Carlito's Way
The soundtrax The Carloto's Way is
loaded w/ great music from the 70s including KC & The Sunshine
Band, BT Express, The Bee Gees, The Hues Corporation & Ray
Barretto. Disco & a Latin touch that I haven't boogied so much
since the last time I watched Saturday Night Fever.
Cleopatra Jones & the Casino of
Gold
Funky w/ a touch of the Orient the
score to the sequel to Cleopatra Jones is as leggy as Tamara Dobson.
Even the theme song Playin w/ Fire that I questioned @ the beginning
grows on you.
Chain Gang Women
I enjoyed the music by Bob Duncan &
Ross Olmstead a hell of a lot more then Chain Gang Women itself.
Catchy chain gang songs & wild banjos & fiddles had me
smiling & tappin my toe. Jesus Can You Love a Working Man just
might be my new theme song @ work.
..& the winner is
Carlito's Way
..let's Rock the Boat Baby. I hate to
admit it but I like disco especially in film. Maybe it's just my
love of the 70s. After watching Carlito's Way & listened to a
shit pile of music from it & they became my soundtrax for the
night's drinking.
Another dead solider.
Still more to come.
..Be back after this
