All Time Classics: Clue(1985)

Today's episode might be a repeat for others and a brand new one for the rest of you.  The Vern was joined by Sean Homrig of 1001 Movies Podcast(https://1001moviespodcast.libsyn.com/) to talk about the 80's murder mystery comedy, Clue.  We had a lot of fun talking about our favorite moments from this movie and The Vern learned a lot about the many different versions of the board game from guest Sean as well.

Film Criticism and the problems associated with it .

I should start off this by saying that this article was fueled by at least 2 bloody Mary's,  a strong mixture of cheap whiskey and Root Beer, and maybe one joint.  There most likely will be some typos and a few grammar issues as well.  Hell even if I wasn’t consuming the things I mentioned.  There will still be problems with this article.  These are just more random thoughts of a movie insomniac. 

I got this idea for this article as I was watching Ghostbusters.  Not the 1984 original, on which is a classic and I don’t need to explain why it is so loved by many people.  I’m referring to the 2016 reboot with an all female cast.  Many people and critics trashed on this movie before even seeing it.  When they did watch it, the one from 84 was so in graved in their minds that they couldn’t get past that the only connection between both movies Is that both sets of characters catch ghosts.  I don’t think the 2016 version is perfect but I did enjoy very much the story it told.  I found it kind of odd that in the original one, when The Ghostbusters started their business; everyone believed that ghosts were real.  There was only one skeptic in Walter Peck(the guy who wanted to shut down the storage containment center) and he was painted as the villain.  In the reboot, only the four women believe they saw a ghost and it’s everyone else that does not.  I found this to be a much more plausible plot and I loved that the gadgets they used were flawed and not perfect. 

Movies That Changed My Life: Do The Right Thing (1989)

Today's pick is a movie that was so ahead of it's time. It was robbed of any Oscar love in 1989 when it was released. It predicted not one but two racial motivated riots, and yet many people don't understand the message it's trying to say. Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing is both a warning, and a message of love and understanding. It is a really good and probably the best representation of different cultures and races ever put on film today. 

So much of what is happening today can be seen in this picture, and I think that it is still one of the most important movies ever made.
