I'm on a rush of 80s Emilio Estevez films which range from horrible to cult classic.
Maximum Overdrive It's hard to imagine that this thing was actually made but Stephen King has admitted that he was coked out of his mind when he directed it, and is so embarrassed that he hasn't directed a film since. This one would be hilarious if it wasn't so boring. That Was Then This Is Now This is an adaptation of the book by S.E. Hinton (which is good). His dad was so famous that they let Emilio write the screenplay and star in this piece of shit. This movie is beyond terrible. Don't watch it. Repo Man The king of crazy 80s comedies. This is the best film that features Mr. Estevez. The Breakfast Club Awesome Judgement Night Okay so this is early 90s, not 80s but it still seems to count. Emilio's dead eyes and expressionless face are made up for by Cuba Gooding Jr.'s CRAZY EYES throughout most of the film. Pretty bad but a fun watch

I missed out on this sequel because it went straight to dvd. This movie was so faithful to the first movie that it begins right on the same scene of the first movie. I watched it on Syfy but I need to re-watch it on dvd to see the parts that they cut out. I'm pretty sure that I missed out on some boobage and some more violent shots. It was co-written by Steve Niles so I shouldn't be surprised by how faithful it was. He is pretty much a distant relative of mines.

YESYESYES BOB! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Having beers and discussing this film would be ideal, it's not one you can keep to yourself.
I had no idea there was a sequel to Happiness - nor have I seen any of the other titles you mentioned. I know how I'm spending my Sunday. EDIT: Also, **** yeah, Repo Man! |

Prince Avalanche
Made in the spirit of the light-hearted indie film. Not at all life-changing but definitely a good time for people who appreciate a movie that fully immerses the viewer in a simple story told well. Time, place, subtle acting, and an atmospheric soundtrack are what's important. People who will like this know what I'm talking about.
