Pounding them back but still lots more
to come.
Before the next award let's serve up
another nomination for Best Picture for the week of sequels.
From 1978 George A Romero's Dawn of the
Dead
The living dead are back & they're
fucking hungry. A traffic reporter, a television-exect & 2 SWAT
team members set to the sky to escape the onslaught & happen
across a shopping mall where they take refuge in Romero's
continuation to the film that rewrote the zombie genre & the
world of cinematic horror.
Time to serve up the next award. Best
Female Performance – The C.L.I.T.
Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in
Alien Resurrection
Weaver returns once again for the 4th
time as she is resurrected but she is more alien then the Ripley we
once knew who battled the terror from a distant planet. In fact
she's the mother. Weaver has a great time w/ the role even poking a
little fun @ times w/ the character that keep this franchise afloat.
Tina Turner as Aunty Entity in Mad Max
Beyond Thunderdome
Turner is one of the saving graces in
this Mad Max entry that just can't compare to the legendary first
two. For her sheer presence & sense of style she helps you
forget just how weak this 3rd PG-13 trip to the well
actually is.
Tyne Daly as Kate Moore in The Enforcer
The 70s were a hard time for women who
were trying to fit into professions originally intended for men.
Just imaging how hard it would be to try to get the job as a police
inspector when you have no experience & to be partnered up w/
Dirty Harry Callahan. Daly holds her own quite well as a fish out of
water trying to play w/ the big boy & in the end proves that
anything men can do women can do just as well..well maybe not because
she does get blown away but that's just sorta par for the course
being Callahan's partner.
Dyanne Thorne as Ilsa in Ilsa the
Tigress of Siberia
Not really sure how they can keep
making Ilsa movies when she dies @ the end of each of them but Im
glad they do. Thorne is back for a 4th time as film's
most diabolical female characters & she's an Grindhouse icon in
this role. Torture is her pleasure but not as much as having her
sandwich stuffed w/ meat.
Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Carmen
in The Color of Money
Some may argue this when she was in
Scarface but in The Color of Money Mastrantonio gives the best
performance of her career. She exudes a very sexy quality quite
easily. Together w/ Newman she plays Cruise perfectly that it's magic
to watch. Leaning the ropes of the hustle she never keeps her eye
off the payoff.
Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany in Bride of
Chucky
Tilly is a sex vixen nimp. Ive always
thought so. Although she is only in Bride of Chucky physically for
the first half of an hour she oozes the part w/ evil intentions. She
carries on proving that she's not just a pretty face once she's
possesses the body of a doll & helps breath some much needed life
into a waning franchise...In fact it's the best of the lot mostly
because of her.
..And the winner is
Tina Turner in Mad Max Beyond
Thunderdome
Sure just on franchise status alone
this could have gone to Weaver or Thorne but Turner does something
very special in Mad Max Beyond Thurderdome. She saves a movie that
isn't really all that good & a little long in the tooth. If
producer were smart they should have made a prequel (or sequel) to
this based on her Aunty Entity character alone.
Crack into the 2nd half of
this 6 pack in a moment. Plenty more on tap.
Be back after this..
