A Boy & His Dog  Rating: Rating:  - This movie...NOT MAD MAX...Is the start of a genre and the spawn of 100's of knockoffs!!!For the same price, you can have some GREAT extras and a great picture...Despotism is a great documentary like piece about the form of goverment that you will see in this movie. A House in the Middle just left me laughing and speechless. Here is a pure propaganda piece that claims a specific kind of paint will help protect your house when the big bomb drops...HILARIOUS! This amazing cult-classic won Don Johnson his first acting award of his career. He won a Golden Scroll for best-actor and the movie was nominated for the best science fiction film of the year. This movie was made in 1975, a full 4 years before Mad Max and it's amazing how few Mad Max fans even know about it or have seen it... The setting is the same, a post-apocalyptic wasteland where commodities are few and far between and the rule of law is every man for himself... Mad Max starts off with his girl being off'd by outlaw bikers...It continues with The Road Warrior where Max fights for fuel and ends with Beyond Thunderdome where Max finds civilization and helps free the oppressed... A Boy and His Dog is all three of these movies in one. This film spawned the genre of post-apocalyptic films. Don Johnson is good and the dialogue is really amusing...Penned by award winning author Harlan Ellison, this movie defines the category that it created.

Rating:  - I'm sorry for you if you don't get itI'm so very, very sorry for you if you don't get this movie. I was very young when I saw it, in the 70's. I just got out of the hippie era and it was a refreshing change to the peace love b.s. of that time. The world is a cold and violent place. Look around you today, and realize our time is limited. Enjoy all the good times you can, they may be over soon. As far as technically, the movie was well made with the money they had to spend. The acting was good for the exp. level of the players. What made it great was the fine story. And of course the herb in the theaters at midnight when this movie aired. Rating: - Rite of Passage but with caveatsI absolutely love this movie. Saw it years ago and finally had to get a copy. Be warned - it's wierd, kinky and just downright offensive for many. It's not the thing you want to watch with your wife - well, my wife. My son found it boring (23). It's the kind of movie you have to watch to the end. If you decide on a movie in the first 30 minutes, you should probably pass. But if you like post-diaster worlds with strange twists and a really bizzare ending, give it a try. |
